Hoyer averaged like 30 yards a completion and the running backs gashed them. I wouldnt touch this def unless they had a rotating schedule of NYJ and JAX.

He said "you guys actually plot this stuff out weeks in advance", which I took to mean you pick up a D before you are going to use them. If you wait until they have a decent stretch, there's a pretty good chance that they won't be available.Hence my reason to carry 1, I look for a decent stretch then drop that D, pick up, repeat...So if you only roster 1, how do you go a couple weeks ahead?I think you can go a couple weeks ahead planning Defense, things change quickly so I typically only roster 1 D unless I see Jax on the schedule.Wait, you guys actually plot this stuff out weeks in advance and agonize over it?
I look at which teams are available every week (there are always at least 16 of them on the wire) and then just choose the best one.

DET is available on my FA list
Right now I have CHI against MIA - thinking Miami gives it up enough and they are a warm weather team going to a cooler climate.
Kinda scared the saints will come out of their bye ready for DET.

DET shouldn't be available. You could pick them up and be set for the rest of the year.

No defense is set for the year. Detroit is solid though and should help you most weeks. Definitely need to jump on that.

How about MIA @ CHI? Cutler is good for some sacks and a few picks.

Baltimore at home against the Falcons and their faltering defence and most offensive line TYVM.

Yes they have. But they're not a really "good" defense. They're oppostunistic. I worry about what happens when the TDs and turnovers stop coming. Believe me I hope they keep coming but it's hard to bank on it.
Macdaddy_2004

Yes but remember KC last year - no one believed until about week 6 or 7 - #1 DEF last year.
I think Philly is this year's KC.
I dropped CHI and will play DET this week.

I think the bears are a nice play this week. They should slaughter Miami.

You may be right and I think my fandom clouds my judgment on the Eagles sometimes.

I think the Chargers are way over-rated. I had a great run with them until they screwed me last week. But even during the awesome weeks it was just the fact that they were playing bad teams and their offense dominates time of poss. They don't get sacks or turnovers regularly so if a team can move the ball and put up points you're basically screwed.
I'm paying $10 a pickup so I key on 1-2 DSTs that can help me over an extended period. Right now I have the Bills and the Colts DST is available.
That would give me:
7: Bills vs. MINN
8: Bills @ Jets
9: Colts @ Giants
10: Colts vs. KC
11: Bills @ Miami
12: Colts vs. Jax
13: Colts vs. Wash
14: Colts @ Browns
15: Colts vs. Houston
16: Bills @ Oakland
All available DSTs:
Colts, Packers, Chargers, Vikings, Rams, Skins, Saints, Jax, Oakland, Panthers, Falcons, Jets, Rams

The problem with Philly is they won't keep scoring TDs. THey have 7..... blew up early but if you missed out on that then you are SOL.

Detroit owner for some reason cut them this week. I'm putting in a claim (dropping SD; so if I don't get them I'm not too bummed).Insein said:

Of the teams that were available in most of my leagues, I'm liking DAL (vs NYG) the most. To a lesser extent, I like WAS (vs TEN), MIA (@CHI), CLE (@JAC), and IND (vs CIN). Obviously, it depends somewhat on scoring formats. And, in the leagues where I could get them, I grabbed BUF (vs MIN) and SD (vs KC). If I had to rank those seven, I would probably go:
BUF (Detroit shut down the Vikings at MIN... I think the Bills can do even more damage with MIN traveling to NY)
DAL (divisional game scares me a bit, as well as the unpredictability of the NFC East, but the Giants were an absolute mess last week)
SD (I think the Chargers defense is better than what we saw last week)
WAS (I like WAS at home against the relatively weak TEN offense)
MIA (I think this is a defense that can be dominating at home, but still good enough on the road to force a few turnovers/sacks)
CLE (Underrated defense against a below average offense with a rookie QB... There are worse options out there)
IND (Cincy is struggling a bit, and IND defense is playing well... I like them to wreak havoc at home)
Long-term, I'm liking Dallas over the next six weeks (next 5 games are decent matchups... NYG, WAS, ARI, @JAC, BYE, @NYG). Again, there's something about the NFC East (anybody beats anybody when you least expect it) that makes me slightly wary. I like how they're playing, though, and in leagues where there isn't much else available, I think they're worth taking a chance on.

I know SF has historically been a good D. And this year they've been pretty streaky. That being said they got DEN this week. Is anyone holding onto them or just cutting bait for the likes of CLE?

looked at the stats from last year, and DAL scored 3 D tds vs. NYG last season. maybe we'll get some of that mojo.
the only other decent option on the ww is IND, and i'm leery of SD vs. KC. count me in and go cowboys.

Plays of the week
We'll start with the obvious.
Cleveland at Jacksonville (51%): Jax is on a historic pace of points allowed to opposing defenses. They're allowing nearly 25 pts in my league and the next closest is St Louis with 18. From here on out, start anyone vs Jax.
Baltimore vs Atlanta (46%): The Falcons on the road are not the same as at home. The Ravens have also quietly put together a decent NFL defense that plays well at home. Should be a good day in Baltimore.
Dallas vs NY Giants (19%): There is a risk here. Cowboys defense has been a product of their offense. They are still giving up they same yards per play as last years awful unit. The only difference is that they are playing about 12 less plays a game. If he Giants have any pride, they could bounce back and make this a game. But if last weeks drubbing was the sign of the real GMen shining through, expect a good day down in Jerry World.

Probably varies by scoring system as well. My one redraft Bal and Cle scored 9 and 8 points placing them tied for 6th and 8th for the week (with a game tonight). Minny, Jax and Indy led with 14 points.I know this is an informal review, but just curious what you're using to decide whether it was a good play or not.ClevelandInsein said:

I preemptively grabbed MIA in a couple places for the JAC match-up and I'm kind of pissed I should have started them over ARI this week in the leagues I owned both. OAK continued the trend where they just don't allow Carr to take sacks, OAK really isn't a plus match-up. I don't trust CLE.
I also like KC vs. STL this week.

Okay. IMO, if they finish behind half a dozen other teams you probably could have grabbed, it wasn't really a good call.
Also, is that league average the average of all teams all season, or just those who were started in your league each week?

All good points that I will look at later. I started it week 1 and forgot what I used.
ETA: So yes that is the league average for all teams. It has jumped up to 9.1 after this week's results and may possibly adjust depending on tonights game but probably not by much.

Buffalo served me reasonably well last week with ten points and they have the Jets now
Same here, but my choice was MIA or SD. I think we can say pretty conclusively that Miami has a good D this year (except of course the one time I started them, in Week 2), so the fact that they have a plus match-up is gravy.
Not sure if I'll hold them past this week, but for now, I'm feeling pretty good rolling them out there.

I picked up Buffalo a few weeks back, and they have been decent.
They continue to get a fair amount of sacks, INTs and fumble recoveries, enough to make me think about keeping them the rest of season.
In fact, the only 2 weeks I will avoid with them are likely week 14 vs Denver, and week 15 vs Green Bay.
If you make it to championship/week 16, then you have Oakland.
