And bench spots? Seems like a waste to carry multiple defenses just for trades. Theres always one on the waiver wire.

We still need to keep an eye on who will be starting for Arizona. I know Washingtons D hasn't been great and they are coming off of a tough loss at home to Seattle but if Stanton and Palmer can't play Logan Thomas would be the starter. I don't know anything about Logan Thomas but considering the lack of options for streaming this week, I will roll with the redskins if he's the starter.

Here is what I've found so far
- Fri, Oct 10
Carson Palmer "lobbed, emphasize lobbed" passes of roughly 35 yards during the portion of Cardinals practice open to the media on Friday, according to the Arizona Republic's Kent Somers.
Advice: Palmer also "lined up with the first team." Somers, however, admits he has no idea what it meant in regard to Arizona's Week 6 quarterback situation. Drew Stanton (concussion) was also at practice. We suspect coach Bruce Arians will leave this up to a game-time decision in Sunday's 4:25PM ET meeting with Washington. Arians is expected to speak after Friday's practice.
More: Kent Somers on Twitter
(Rotoworld.com) - New Player Note Fri, Oct 10
ESPN's Adam Schefter stated on NFL Live that Carson Palmer (shoulder) is unlikely to play Sunday against the Redskins.
Advice: Schefter believes the Cardinals are planning to start raw fourth-round pick Logan Thomas with Drew Stanton (concussion) also on the shelf. After practicing on a "limited" basis Wednesday and Thursday, Palmer trekked to Denver on Friday to have the malfunctioning nerve in his right (throwing) shoulder re-checked. As Thomas went 1-of-8 passing and took two sacks among ten dropbacks off the bench last week, it would take a real leap of faith to start any of Arizona's wide receivers against Washington. There's a good chance Thomas will struggle to move the offense.

I've been using this to try and plan ahead if anyone is interested. I know things can change greatly as it pertains to streaming defenses on a week to week basis but this has worked so far. I haven't found a defense I'd feel comfortable sitting on for a couple of weeks yet (will have to soon because I blew 99.2% of my FAAB budget in one leage and can't make moves with $0). I'm looking at ARI @OAK next week. I also noticed according to how offenses have fared vs. DSTs over the past 3 weeks that MIA technically has nice stint vs. CHI and TB in weeks 7-8. MIA has been playing rather well regardless.
CLE of course looks like they have a rather favorable stretch but also, according to this, MIN technically does as well.

Saw that Brady had an ankle injury today...if he is out what do you guys think about Bills? Anybody have more news on his ankle?
By:Jeff Howe
Tom Brady suffered an ankle injury and was limited in today's practice. He is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills. As always, it would take a ton for him to miss a game.
Center Bryan Stork's head injury has also been officially disclosed as a concussion after he missed today's practice. Everyone on the injury report was limited today except absentees Stork, Dominique Easley, Brandon Browner, Cameron Fleming and Nate Ebner.

Those stats could be skewed by the Eagles game for the Niners. Eagles scored 3 DST touchdowns that week.

Someone dropped denver and I was quick to grab them.... anyone vs Geno = win especially with Decker out..

Denver or San Diego this week?
SameSongNDance

Denver. I can't envision a scenario where Geno isn't going to drop back and pass far more often than he'd like. I can't envision a scenario where he doesn't turn the ball over at least twice. OAK is coming off a bye and tends to play better against SD as it's a divisional game.

I think I'm going to roll with a San Diego/Miami combo, tentatively, for the rest of the season. We'll see...

Plays of the week for week 6.
San Diego at Oakland (68%): Don't over think it. Oakland is in turmoil and despite the bye, they will not have improved enough to be better on offense. How they are still available in 30% of leagues is amazing.
Buffalo vs New England (68%): The #1 fantasy defense so far playing at home. Yes New England looked better last week but Buffalo gives them fits in upstate New York. With a shot at first place on the line, you know they'll be fired up. Could be a pretty nice day for the Bills.
Arizona vs Washington (66%): The consensus seems to think Wash is the play because of Stanton or Thomas playing. What they should jump on is anyone who dropped the Cards last week against Denver. The Skins are not the Broncos and its a cross country trip on a short week. Expect tired legs and lots of mistakes that the Cards will capitalize on.

What do the % mean?
Insein
Footballguy
Yup.
And when you get to the 70% area that means that if you are in a 12+ team competitive/active league, they probably aren't available. There are just so many people who rent or stream defenses these days.

Oof. Got -2 so far from SD. Went to the well one too many times. Oh well.stupid raiders
OK, maybe just Buffalo going forward.S.D. this week for certain vs OAK
S.D. and Bills going forward = Championship
2 frigg in points, REALLY, it was Oaklnd for #%$ sake

Buffalo got me -2 points yesterday. They did play the Pats, but just sayin'.Let's hope the Bills look alive vs Minny and the Jets.OK, maybe just Buffalo going forward.2 frigg in points, REALLY, it was Oaklnd for #%$ sakeS.D. this week for certain vs OAK

EDIT: Perhaps the lesson here is that we can no longer consider the Oak fantasy DST matchup to be a gimme. Time will tell if this is a fluke.

I know that there is a thread about Defenses you should hold, but I can't find out. The Broncos were available in my league this past week so I picked them up.
Should they be held? Next 3 games are SF, SD and NE. Not really ideal.

Should have listened to me on SD. OAK always plays them tough, it's just the way it is.
If CLE is available pick them up @ JAC obviously. NE likely isn't available but they play NYJ on TNF so they're a no-brainer start. I'm still targeting ARI @ OAK in leagues that I haven't already stashed them.

Streaming has only worked for me 2 out of 6 weeks. I am strongly considering just playing the Browns & taking what they give me the rest of the way. I am doing a very poor job this year choosing weekly DST.
It's not just you, and it's not just this year. DST is very difficult to predict from week to week.

Mother effin dog gonit! I had the golden ticket with the Cleveland D, and fell for the Cinci trap. Over the past two weeks Cle has overachieved in matchups that i thought would be the tougher. I wish the Cinci owner would have never dropped them and I would have stuck to my game plan. I got -2 points from Cinci the past 2 weeks in a row while CLE put up 9 & 10, with JAX, OAK, & TB up next. They gotta be rostered now for these games. Cleveland is looking good and will be getting the after the QB in all 3 of these matchups. Haden kept Antonio Brown out of the endzone, and should matchup well going forward. There may not be a defense in the league that will get more points than streaming, after SEA got dominated in their house (at least they showed up big on special teams).

Played the Ravens week 6 and they did well vs Tampa.
Have my eyes set on the Browns for the next 3 weeks.

Dallas defense has been better than average. NYG just imploded last night. Now we can take it two ways. They either were a little too high on themselves and came into the game flat, thus they'll bounce back next week to prove it was just a fluke. Or they really are this bad and were just overachieving for a few weeks.
Dallas is definitely an interesting play though.

The skill level of leagues vary. Do you play FPC/FFPC or is this a "local league"? If you have a league where the skill level of the other league members is high I would say streaming isnt the way to go.

I've been doing it in all of my leagues (5) and they're all ffpc. It's worked out almost perfectly so far. Why wouldn't it be the way to go in ffpc?
