Kupp back and rumored Puca maybe back (though I’m not buying it even as a Puca owner) definitely a bit concerning.Shhhh
It was definitely a smash start before this.
Detroit on waivers and I can’t get them till tomorrow, so not guaranteed. But definitely something I’m pondering tonight. I’d have to sit Vikings defense and hope I got Detroit or be stuck with someone else.

I have Pittsburgh and Denver as DEFs . Pitt is off week 9 and I don’t like Denver’s defense against Baltimore on the road, especially with Baltimore coming off a bad loss on the road.
So thinking of picking up New Orleans to trot out versus Carolina this week. Any of you experts have any thoughts on this? Appreciate the feedback!

Saints are free falling.
I think either side of Patriots-Titans should do well as a streaming option?

Minnesota pooped the bed last Thursday. And even before that we’re really saved by a TD. Which is great and what we want. I’m not trying to discount it. Just pointing out that teams are moving the ball on them both on the ground and in the air.
But Indy hasn’t put up much of a fight and is very turnover prone.
Would love it to be Richardson instead of Flacco.
Sticking with the Vikings where I have them and hopeful for a get right game.

Even the Saints defense? So last week wasn’t a mirage? Just curious. Also was thinking Carolina is more of a dumpster fire than NE is with Young back at QB. Thanks

Someone dropped Min Defense right before TNF last week. Did they suffer any serious injuries on the D? I'm thinking of blowing some FAAB on them (can't spend it in the offseason).
Check it but Moseley might miss the game

Picked up the LAC DEF for this week since I dont like DEN chances and I missed out on NOS during waivers. Hoping what I read here and saw last week holds at least for this week.
Is the LAC D legit? They played some creampuffs early on.
I must say I'm ignorant on what stars they have at each layer of the defense.
I'm holding LAC, but nervous Winston could get on a roll in Cleveland this week.

I'm in lock step with you brother. Love to hear from some Charger homies on their defense. Only other choice I have is TEN, because I'm not going with DEN this week.

this should be the #1 choice

Oh boy. I own Minnesota but Denver defense just dropped. And, their schedules match up really well.
My team is in a good spot record wise and after missing on a few WRs for depth last night, I have an open spot.
I’m not usually rostering two defenses at this point in the year. But thinking this might be worth it.

I missed out on NOS unfortunately. Picked up LAC and TEN. Not sure who the better choice is.

I really don't want to drop the Broncos as they are the #1 D to date, however I obviously hate their matchup vs. the Ravens and I don't really want to drop Braelon Allen or Allgeier to get a D for one week.
Should I just drop Denver and pick up maybe the Pats vs. Tenn, or stick it our and take whatever beating the Ravens gives Denver.

Is Detroit a must start weekly at this point? I keep add/ dropping D, picked them up and used them in week 8 and reading rent-a-defense this week suggested they are a weekly start. Other options are NE, Philly, Titans.
I’m with you in one league. Staying with Detroit.

Have Minnesota and Green Bay.
Saints are available but I don’t trust them.
Buffalo is available and show good results in the scoring format the last two weeks against Seattle and Tennessee.
They are at home versus Miami. Other than playing Tennessee what accounts for their bounce back?
is buffalo healthy on D?

Still struggling between TEN and LAC. Both are rated highly this week according to Fantasy Pros for my team.
Every site I look at says LAC is the much better play this week vs. CLE (CLE gives up the 4th most pts to DEF (this rank is much more related to Watson than Winston, but still), compared to NE, who gives up the 3rd most points to DEFs) . I'm having a hard time seeing it because Winston can sling the ball for big yards and they have Chubb back. Plus just the long distance travel also from LLA to CLE makes me think LAC could be sluggish. Whereas, though TEN hasn't actually been great on DEF so far, they are playing at home and going against either Maye or Brissett and a sieve of an OL. Ugh. Hate making these decisions.

Njoku didn't practice today and Jeudy was a Limited Practice participant. Do with that info what you will.
*whispers: start the Chargers!*

I lean Chargers, even though Yahoo and my scoring format have Tennessee projected the top scoring defense. Chargers probably has greater range of outcomes with the Winston factor, but New Orleans had a good result last week 17 points in Our format, that’s an above average result from my seat.
Tenn looks like a low scoring maybe a couple sacks and a turnover result, probably decent floor but less upside.
I’m playing the top scorer this week so if I were in your shoes I want that higher up upside the chargers could provide they look as good as tenn producing sacks but better at producing turnovers.

Awesome reply, thanks so much.
Yea, I'm still the only undefeated team in our 10 team league, but I'm playing the second place team this week and he is loaded. I'm spoiled and I really want to keep that 2 game margin with him (hopefully 3 after this weekend), so I need all the upside I can get. Sounds like CLE's receiving crew are banged up right now, so maybe LAC's DEF will have an edge.

Thanks for giving me a pass on a confusing statement I made, I edited it. I meant to say chargers have a greater range of outcomes against Cleveland.

No worries, I figured you were referring to LAC because that makes much more sense than TEN in their situation. Really appreciate the insight. I'm still trying to figure out what all these experts I've tapped into for on the Fantasy Pro's site see in TEN's high ranking, because I tend to lean on the LAC as well this week. What am I missing?

Texans didn’t get a fumble recovery for the Malachai touchback goal line fumble. Which they shouldn’t according to the rules.
They didn’t have it last night, but woke up this AM and yahoo has them credited with a fumble recovery.
Went from 2 points to 4 points overnight.

Next two weeks will tell us more about how much the Detroit can continue to succeed sans any recognizable Edge rushers.

For what it’s worth.
Houston defense rolled back to 2 points last night and they took away the fumble recovery.

Real life defense vs fantasy defense question. KC is widely considered to have one of the best defenses in the NFL. So why doesn't that translate to fantasy, where in my league they are currently 25th in PPG team defense?

It's concerning, but their schedule is cake weeks 12-15 so it's tempting to just hold them through it. I'm going keep them at least through this weekend to see how they do against the broncos and decide if I'll go the distance with them after. Baker Mayfield has been on fire this season, apparently even without this main weapons, so last night was forgivable.
