Need a DST (or two) (1 Viewer)

[Jagerbomber]

So due to picking last on a 14-team league, I ended up not focusing on landing a top defensive unit. I can pick up from waivers and I'm wondering which of the following defenses are bound to have a rebound?

1) New York Jets: With Eric Mangini at the helm and a talented crew, this is the one DST I'm looking at the closest. Plus their schedule is pretty soft.

2) Buffalo Bills: I got burned by these fools last year. Badly. Dare I do this to myself again?

3) Seattle Seahawks/San Diego Chargers: These are units tha will be solid if unimpressive (in Fantasyland of course. In the NFL they'll get the job and then some)

4) Green Bay Packers: The talent is pretty thin but they have some favorable matchups as well. If Jim Bates was still there I'd be more willing to give them shot.

Any ideas? Scoring: 6 pts for Def TD, 2 pts for INT, 1 pt for Sack, 2 pts for FBR, 10 pts for shutouts, 6 pts for 2-13 pts allowed, 4 pts for 14-20 pts allowed, 2 pts for 21-27 pts allowed, 0 pts for 28-35 pts allowed, -2 pts for 36-45 pts allowed, -5 pts for 46+ pts allowed

Thx for reply.BTW, I added the info on how DST is scored in this league (special teams TDs are also worse 6 pts, yards not considered)

Seattle is a top-ten D IMHO.

The Hawks would be a steal at this point. Their schedule alone should put them in the top 10.

Im havent looked at all of the replies on this thread yet so if I am repeating someone please forgive me. However I doubt it because most would call me crazy for saying this.

I would pick up the Detroit Lions DST as your #2 DST, as they are a good sleeper this year.

They have looked pretty good so far in their two games. 5 FF, 4 FR, 3 INT, 5 Sacks they did give up 33 total Points.

They have a Defensive Head Coach now too.

**EDIT**

Lions gave up 13 points against Denver, and 20 points against Cleveland

And they have Donnie Henderson. Seahawks as your @1, Detroit if you want to take a flyer on a second.

I had Detroit last year in a committee and was fine with it, but is anyone worried about the loss of Big Daddy Wilkinson? And the linebackers? And the safetys? Is Terrence Holt starting? Their division schedule does have some potential strong performances though, with Brad Johnson, Favre, and Grossman/Griese

Im not concerned about the D-Line or the Linebackers, the safties are a bit of a concern though.and great point about the schedule!!! Favre twice could be great as many time he tends to throw it up for grabs.

Seattle without question.

Their schedule is a joke.
