. How do people have roster space to hold 4 defenses?Just heard Foster is out for Houston
I have Cleveland, then Colts & NYG's versus Jax next two weeks.
Then Baltimore for the playoffs
That's what I call streaming defenses!!!!
I'm rolling them out. Giddy up.Anyone have any thoughts on Houston this week?
Taylor is out for the season.I own Browns & am really hoping DT Phil Taylor is good to go this week. They are a much better unit when he's on the field.
Miami and IndyBasically I think the best combo defenses will be:
The Lions and Texans have a couple sweet looking four game stretches. The trick is finding someone to fill the other two weeks.
- X Wks 11-12 + Detroit Wks 13-16
- Houston Wks 11-14 + X Wks 15-16
Washington, Rams, Titans stack allows you to play Tampa, Oakland, St. Louis & Jets at home + road games @ SF & Jax through week 16.I'm rolling with Washington this week. Got Indy for next week. Then plan on trying to roll with Indy/GB ROS. I will have TN on speed dial for the playoffs.
Is TN much better than the teams they are playing in the playoffs?I'm rolling with Washington this week. Got Indy for next week. Then plan on trying to roll with Indy/GB ROS. I will have TN on speed dial for the playoffs.
Exactly. The fear is they check out early on the season and become non competitive. I'm avoiding Tennessee unless I'm desperate.Is TN much better than the teams they are playing in the playoffs?I'm rolling with Washington this week. Got Indy for next week.

Think Cleveland is a strong play for sure, but in fairness, we don't *know* Mallet is a bad QB yet. Not sure we'll know after this game either given the way it's setting up.Foster's out. Cleveland's good pass D against a bad QB getting his first start of the year looks like a great opportunity.
yeah, I dropped them in 2 leagues this past week (was ready to do it a week or 2 ago, but figured I had to hold through JAX), but was noticing those matchups and picked them back up in 1 where I had room to carry 2 defenses. I have to think that they will get right at some point.CIN seems to have some decent match-ups Weeks 12 and 13. I'm thinking about using them against HOU and TB.CIN is also another D that is surprisingly ineffective based on talent on the roster.
Any thoughts about either of these Ds returning to some semblance of form, or are they lost causes?
I am rolling with min over pitt in one league. Expecting good thingsRe: San Diego
I picked them up in 1 league after rolling with Cincy all year, who has been really weak. I see that Jason Verett just went on IR and he was having a nice year, but they get Ingram back. Seems like a fair play coming off the bye against OAK, though MFL is projecting them as -1 in that league. yeesh.
What do we think about these other options?
SF @ NYG
MIN @ CHI
TEN vs. PIT
I like SD's matchup best, but I'm leery of getting burnt by a bad defense (Not that any of the others are great, but they are probably better).
I only have 6 roster bench spots. I'm using 3 for defenses because my leagues are sharks and I would not get these defenses unless I grabbed them weeks ahead. I don't carry a backup QB, TE or kicker so that helps too.. How do people have roster space to hold 4 defenses?Just heard Foster is out for Houston

Dang, should have just rolled with GB.My goal is to rotate Indy/GB after week 11. Would you guys be comfortable playing GB this week or would NO/Wash be a better bet. That's the best I got to work with.
Kicking myself for ignoring my own thoughts on this. Used GB only a tiny bit at Fanduel and loaded up on Cleveland instead. Ugh.Eagles will run, run and run some more. No chance. Teams you don't stream against: Denver, Indy, Philly, New England, Green Bay, Saints (@ home).Anyone besides me like Green Bay as a sneaky start this weekend? Supposed to be frigid and Sanchez is mistake prone.
Yea, did not see this coming. Eagles still racked up 450 yards and 20 pts but 5 turnovers and 2 DTDs sure make up for that don't they.Kicking myself for ignoring my own thoughts on this.

They haven't played as well on the road, but maybe they have improved since their bye.GB starting to look like a must start every week
i'm not sold on them at all. i'm going to put a claim in for stl for the oak, wash weeks. cle has indy the same week stl has wash. cle got me -1 this weekCLE not living up to expectations so far this week -- for those of you who were looking to ride CLE (alone or in a DTBC approach), does this game have you reconsidering?
Some solid matchups down the stretch, and they obviously have something to continue to play for -- but this performance against HOU has shaken my trust.
Their DL is short-handed now with Taylor out. When he's in, the run defense looked good. He's out and they are forced to start their depth players and limit a rotation. Sheard also got hurt yesterday and may miss some time. I wouldn't be surprised if Dansby (MLB) misses a few games too with his injury. All that said, this isn't the same defense as what was rolling out there previously. It will be tough to rely on them for the ROS, IMO.CLE not living up to expectations so far this week -- for those of you who were looking to ride CLE (alone or in a DTBC approach), does this game have you reconsidering?

Thought about adding them as well, but you're right, they haven't looked very good lately. Though, if any team can help a defense get right, it's the Jags.Picked up the Colts defense for this upcoming game against the Jags. Now I'm not so sure. They have been awful the past 3 weeks. Anyone bailing on them now? I don't see any plus matchups after the Jags.
I'm going with them against the Jags and probably the next week against the Skins. Then I hope to ride GB the rest of the way (if my season lasts that long). Not much else out there for me (unless I get ballsy and pick up TN for weeks 15-16).Raiderfan32904 said:Picked up the Colts defense for this upcoming game against the Jags. Now I'm not so sure.

For the most part yea. Maybe one other owner. I don't think people realize how many points you can make up by streaming. I so far am averaging about 9 points above the next closest owner in DST.WTF kind of leagues are you guys in where these DSTs are available? Half my league tries to stream DSTs (& we don't even have a waiver wire; FAAB only & no $0 bids), sounds like many of you are in leagues where you're the only owner who bothers w/ DST.
Just picked them up to pair with the Packers the rest of the way.The Rams huh? looks interesting and with Shaun Hill and tre mason maybe the offense can help the D out now?
the team facing jax is the 2nd highest defensive scorer in my leagues, behind only the eagles. ya, im playing indy no matter what.Picked up the Colts defense for this upcoming game against the Jags. Now I'm not so sure. They have been awful the past 3 weeks. Anyone bailing on them now? I don't see any plus matchups after the Jags.
