Defense Custom Cheetsheet (1 Viewer)

One of my least favorite things about fantasy football is picking defenses week to week. Nothing worse that having a great team and getting beat by some guy who gets 25 points from his defense.

yeah, I know

Each preseason I really like the Defense By Committee strategy article and all the analysis in it. Only problem is that things change quickly and the ranking stats are based on last year making adjustments necessary

I think it would be cool to have a feature similar to the custom offense cheetsheet every week, but a defensive cheatsheet where we could enter our scoring setup (ints, fumble recovery, return yards, etc), then see results that show:

team | rank of avg ff points scored against | week X opponent | rank avg defense ff points scored.

Might be a cool way to easily identify good defensive matchups from week to week that are on the ww. Same theory as the defense by committee article, just with updated stats every week.

Anyone else think this would be helpful? Maybe there is something similar already that I am missing.

possible new feature Joe?

This is a great idea. There's generally much more variation in league scoring systems for team defenses than for the offensive positions. The more I look at them, the more I think the FBG team defense projections are very well done. It would just be nice to easily see how they translate into my league's scoring system.

Also agree that picking defenses is the least enjoyable part of fantasy football.

I like the idea! Not sure what it would take to make it a viable tool, but I like it!

I used a spreadsheet to do something similar to this last year. It weighted recent performances and usually I could scrap something off the FA heap that would at least be servicable. Saves you the trouble of drafting a D early ; in fact, I wait until my last two picks and go D/ST then K. My league scoring rules are a bit different than the norm, though.

If you're interested in a really rough copy of the spreadsheet, holla back with a PM. It'll need to be tweaked, but the basic structure is there. WARNING: Not very user friendly.
