Things that obviously downgrade them:

1. Losing Brady means that other teams can stay closer and therefore play more balanced offense against them. Also, other teams will probably have greater time of possession without Brady sustaining drives.

2. Miami lit them up, therefore exposing weaknesses.

With that said, pre-season, they were still considered a top 10 defense. Has that absolutely changed now? How do you see New England Defense performing fantasy wise for the rest of the year?

I drafted them as such but want to see them a couple more weeks. IMO they are more of a spot start like SF, then STL in week 8. Then probably not a start until week 15.

I am hoping I can save the roster space to hold them as I really do not want to be against them in wk 15-16 when they have Oak and Arizona(in NE)

Wow, I'll take my beating and move on then. I did try to look for the post, but I guess I could not find it. Thanks for the help, friend.M

They were lit up by Miami last year in a fluke game, but the offense carried them... I'm not ready to kill them over one game.. They have talent on the def.... Some emerging young players and some old players that need to hold up... There are plenty of good def teams that don't have great offenses.. Look at Tenn.. I think NE can be solid, top 10 still, but top 5 is prob too much to ask.
