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.Anyone looking at Pittsburgh?

And you're just confused.I'm playing buff d.
Buff d and kc d are a sweet rest of year combo. That's called defense by committee....a lot of you guys are confusing that and streaming.
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 shouldn't be available. You could pick them up and be set for the rest of the year.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.
No defense is set for the year. Detroit is solid though and should help you most weeks. Definitely need to jump on that.DET shouldn't be available. You could pick them up and be set for the rest of the year.DET is available on my FA list

championship. Unless you play in non-competitive leagues. Im sure you can add who you want in your yahoo local league.
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.Right now I have philly def on the bench due to the bye - they have been really hot.No defense is set for the year.

Yes but remember KC last year - no one believed until about week 6 or 7 - #1 DEF last year.Yes they have. But they're not a really "good" defense. They're oppostunistic.

You may be right and I think my fandom clouds my judgment on the Eagles sometimes.Yes but remember KC last year - no one believed until about week 6 or 7 - #1 DEF last year.Yes they have.

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

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:No defense is set for the year.

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.100% smells like a trap to me. Vegas pretty much thinks DAL would only be 3 point favorites on neutral ground and we just saw arguably the worst effort of the season from NYG and the best effort of the season from DAL last week.Yea, slim pickens in my one league and I had to do the same. I don't feel good about it because this has trap game written all over it. Either Giants bounce back and make this an awful pick up, or they really do suck and Dallas rolls like Philly did.When this season began, never in a million years did I anticipate picking up the Dallas defense. Well, I just did.
Thankfully I played against Cleveland today. Should not have made them one of my plays though. Just felt wrong.Cleveland scares me. The matchup screams pick them up but the stats do not.
They are letting up 409 yards per game, 23 pts per game and are only collecting 2 sacks and 1 turnover. Now granted the offenses they've faced were all ranked in the top 15 but it's still alarming. Even last week with a supposedly dominate game, they only netted 10 points in my league.
I'd probably buy in for the Jax game but I wouldn't stay on for more than that.
Played them in one league, faced them in another. How many points did they get in your leagye? In FFPC they got 8.Thankfully I played against Cleveland today.

Cleveland (Despite how ugly the score looks)BaltimoreInsein said: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.
miami vs jax next week. Theyre a must startStreamed TEN today. We get 1 pt per TFL and 25 return yards and they produce there and got some turnovers. Good performance overall...TEN gets Jax next week, but I think we are seeing Jax turn the corner, riskier now.
Sorry Ten at HOU...Indy is lookin good alsomiami vs jax next week. Theyre a must startStreamed TEN today. We get 1 pt per TFL and 25 return yards and they produce there and got some turnovers.

cle was an ok play. they got killed by their own offense. their d played well, getting sacks and turnovers. but 2 super short fields killed em.Played them in one league, faced them in another.

Minnesota plays TB. Could be an interesting one. I picked them up yesterday morning and they got me 18 against the Bills.What's the play this week?
Philly
Cle
Bal
Mia
Any others?

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.Cleveland (Despite how ugly the score looks)BaltimoreInsein said:Plays of the 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.
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.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.
I picked up Buffalo a few weeks back, and they have been decent.Buffalo served me reasonably well last week with ten points and they have the Jets now
