playing bad d against bad o (1 Viewer)

[theoneandonly]

How do you guys feel about playing a d you know is gonna be bad against a o thats bad. I have a decent d and I was looking at playing the skins because they were play miami a bad offense. Do you feel that defensive talent is more important? Our do you think playing a weak d against a low scoring turnover prone offense is the way to go? Obviously if you have the bears or ravens your playing them every week.

FWIW, and for all the over-under bettors out there,

A BAD OFFENSE WILL SCORE (avg) 4 MORE POINTS vs A BAD DEFENSE than A GOOD OFFENSE WILL SCORE vs A GOOD DEFENSE.

That kind of thinking tricked me into selecting the Detroit Lions D.

:stupid brain:

Based on ADP if you consider the Saints a "bad' D, they have looked very good in their last two preseason games. lol i wouldnt start them vs indy, but hey they have some good matchups the rest of the year.

However...a couple of bad (or ordinary) defenses can be picked up in rounds 12-15 in fantasy football, whereas (depending on scoring system) the good defenses start flying off the board around round five.

I id dthe same after a horrible run on defenses - Ii figured I needed a D to get me through a week or 2. Then they lost their starting safeties...
