Was going to grab Tampa for this week but someone beat me to the punch, so I grabbed Arizona. Both are excellent plays.

Arizona and Tampa are gone in my league. Tampa was totally my fault because I waited and now the guy I'm playing this week picked them up - UGH! Any thoughts on the 49ers? Had them for their 2 worst games and cut them but maybe they rally a bit after their bye? Gotta think a Singletary-coached team can't continue to be that bad on Defense and they were OK the last couple of weeks...

Arizona makes me a bit nervous, but boy do they have good playoff matchups.

I dropped the Rams for them this week and am starting them but I'm frightened they get blasted 45-0 or something without a single sack or turnover.adrenaline

Isn't Hasslebeck returning?AZ has had a great year and nice schedule down the stretch. Trying to figure out why FBG has them rated so low this week at home against Seattle.tdhartis said:

Oh yea...forgot how great the offense was when he was running it.Isn't Hasslebeck returning?AZ has had a great year and nice schedule down the stretch. Trying to figure out why FBG has them rated so low this week at home against Seattle.tdhartis said:
San Fran is coming off a bye and has been playing much better lately. They were a concensus top defense in the pre-season but were horrible for the first 3 games. I think a lot of people forgot about them and they've strung together some good fantasy output last few weeks. They have St. Louis this week and their schedule looks pretty good from here on out:
Next 3 games are StL, TB, @ Ari
Week 14: Sea
Week 16: @StL
I'm pairing with Oak which gives me a remaining regular season schedule of:
StL, TB, @Ari, I'll most likely have a bye week 13 so I don't care that my choices are @GB or @SD
Playoffs:
Oak @ Jac or SF vs Sea, Oak vs Den, SF @ StL
Next 3 games are StL, TB, @ Ari
Week 14: Sea
Week 16: @StL

I have been rolling w/ Chiefs & Bears, but I dropped the Bears (tough upcoming schedule) & am rolling w/ the Bucs @ home vs Carolina this week. I'm in must-win mode, so am looking for extra pts out of any position possible.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that Seattle doesn't turn the ball over that much? 9 teams in the NFC have more giveaways than Seattle; 3 more in the AFC have more.I was wondering about this in another thread. I don't get points for yardage allowed/points allowed in my leagues (it's all sacks, takeaways & defensive TDs), so maybe that's it, but a lot of people seem high on getting D's to match-up vs. Seattle. They protect the ball better than most people think.AZ has had a great year and nice schedule down the stretch.

I just got ARI & ATL this week for Weeks 14-16. They each get one shot at Carolina.I am not so ure about the Seattle matchups. Seattle may have something to play for and they are not *that* bad on offense (at least not bad enough to get a hoped for blowout in the playoffs.It probably deserves its own thread, but what DST's are best if you DON'T have Pittsburgh at this point (which is practically almost everyone). What's left?ARI getting Dallas at home Week 16 could be nice. The hope here is that Dallas is completely shot and they don't bring Romo back and instead decide to chuch it and see what they have with McGee. It could happen.

I've got Arizona and Tampa, trying to decide between the two for this week. I think I'll go Cards as they have been more explosive, but you do have to love the Bucs matchup with the hapless Panthers.

AZ hasn't been that great for defenses that have yards against and points against. Their offense is shakey at QB too which makes the D be on the field more. Whoever is behind center usually throws at least one pick.AZ has had a great year and nice schedule down the stretch.

I own Pitt, but am benchng them this week (Brady just doesn't throw many INT's or get sacked all that often....and...I expect the Pats to put up at least 14+ points which does away with any bonus scoring in my league)............I'll be starting the 49ers at home verse the Rams.
