**Streaming Defense** Weeks 14-16 FF Playoffs (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter BobbyLayne
- Start date
Somebody grabbed TN last night so now I'm left looking at CHI (vs. Jax), DET (vs LAR), NYG (vs BAL), JAX (@CHI).
Don't like any of these options.
Chicago is getting JAX off their bye and while Bortles is a turnover machine I could see this game being a bit of a shootout.
May target DET at home vs LAR.
Anyone looking at the NYG?
They're at home and could be facing a limited BALT offense without Steve Smith and possibly Mike Wallace (who is currently wearing a non-contact jersey).
Even if both offenses are at full strength this feels like a 17-16 game between two clunky offenses.
All that said, NYG can't seem to rush the passer.

For those who get points for points allowed I think you should be looking at them (and Baltimore). Vegas has this game as the second lowest line of the week behind Rams-Lions. Lot of injuries for Baltimore coming at WR (Smith and Wallace). Giants D has shown nothing the last 3 games and may be without JPP which doesn't help obviously but in a potentially low-scoring game they are a definite option if you're hurting in a larger league or you're looking for a low-ownership DFS option this week. I'm not sure I'm going to use them but I'm considering them over KC in one league where I have them and over Carolina in another and possibly as an option in DFS since they are cheap. But the downside clearly is they've done nothing since Week 2. Lack of pass rush and zero ability to force turnovers are huge issues.

DET missing a lot of key cogs and Gurkey might have a huge day.kyoun1e said:
NYG vs Balt is interesting. The Giants secondary is a wreck, but Ravens might be down their top 2 WR. They couldn't even sniff A-a-ron, but that packers OL was great.
Rough choices all around.

Could also be because they've faced a couple teams that don't turn it over much the last couple weeks (Vikings/Packers)?
I agree they're not a great option though - it's strange, as they have the pieces to be a decent pass rushing team.
Hot Sauce Guy

Yeah, like I said, the QB situation is what really dictates this move. Of the crappy defense options, Titans are probably the next pickup on matchup alone.BobbyLayne said:
Browns were healthier weeks 2-3 when I was streaming against them.
That said, I think Miami has a better pass rush than TEN, though Jurrell Casey came alive last week. Could be a sign of things to come.

In a league with transaction fee's It's getting annoying streaming, anyone know of a potential waiver wire d, that you can use for a few weeks? I'm in a short bench league and people are carrying 2 DST's.
Anyone like GB - at home vs. Dallas this week and at home vs. Chicago this week. @ATL will be bad but the rest of the schedule looks ok?
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
GB is a solid option. The secondary is going to get healthy eventually and they'll be even better.
They're great against the run, which is huge vs DAL since the Cowboys are playing keep-away with Elliott. Packers are gonna dare Dak to beat them.
Chicago is better than they've been but I could see GB getting to Hoyer a couple times and forcing a bad decision or 2.
The Atlanta game will depend on the health of the GB secondary and JJones. If Jones is healthy and the GB secondary isn't, yikes. This isn't Eli Manning throwing 2' behind every receiver and displaying all the touch of the Incredible Hulk juggling lightbulbs like Sunday night's game. ATL will use GBs strengths against them with screens to Coleman & Freeman, and likely hit a bomb or two.
Still, ATL game aside, the packers are a decent D/ST that's going to get better as their secondary heals.

1. The thread is devoted to streaming D's. You really think Buffalo qualifies and is readily available?Arodin said:
2. He doesn't mention who has chosen them over and the reasoning behind it is, um, Kap. Earth shattering news.

Until 2 weeks ago, Buffalo was only owned 41% on Yahoo. They still sit at 87% now. So, some people don't own them.

Anyone else rolling the LA Rams out there?
Theo Riddick has been ruled out, D. Washington still a little banged up, and Forsett just signed off the street. Ebron out as well. Could make Stafford a little one dimensional.
Think DET has some issues on the offensive line.
T. Austin always a threat for a return TD as well.
Don't love this option, but only others on the wire are CHI (Jax rested off bye), NYG (can't get turnovers), DET (Think Gurley gets his).

Green Bay dropped to the WW today. Thinking that's a must add in our league where 20 DSTs are rostered. We have a one day wait think I can get it overnight Sat/Sun.

How well has their line protected Stafford this year?
It's an odd setup. DET has multiple injuries on the offensive side, but LAR seems like they have an equal number of injuries on D.
Maybe this is a clunky type of game. Something like 19-16 with two floundering offenses.

On pace for 45 sacks, 4th worst in the NFL.
Almost identical to 2014-15 (45 & 44.)
Rookie LT getting better. LG is worst G in the NFC, C is average, RG & RT above average. Rookie backup C will make his first start at LG due to injury - opposite Donald.
Haven't run the ball effectively since AA went down.
Rams had 203 yards rushing last December v. DET.
21-14 Rams.
Yup. Gurley went nuts. Stafford did ok, but the difference in the game was an INT for a TD by T. Johnson...who isn't playing.

well Buffalo is hardly a streaming defense at this point - not available in any of my leagues for example
This is not a thread about DST preference - it is a thread to weigh options on STREAMING defenses

Do people still feel like the Eagles are a hold? I grabbed the Eagles after the Bye, but also picked up TEN this week.
I like TEN this week more and I don't mind the next 2 weeks (home vs. IND and JAX) and don't like keeping 2 defenses on the roster.
Do we feel good enough about TEN this week to drop the Eagles? Having a hard time deciding if I really trust either one.

Absolutely the eagles are a hold. If you watched that Detroit game it was clear that they were sluggish coming the bye. But in the 2nd half they really came to life and shut down the lions in every facet of the game and salvaged a decent fantasy day.
Eagles are my every week auto start defense until they give me reason not to or if they play NE.

I don't know that Cleveland is such a prime DST opponent anymore? Kessler has turned out better than expected and Hue can coach up a good gameplan.

6 sacks for the 2nd straight week got the Titans
Aside - in our format, 5th best DT this week with 11.00 points, but I'm thinking most don't give credit for the 6 TFL (0.25) or 7 3 and outs (0.50)
Think this week was proof that not only are there few good streaming options, but there are also very few good IRL defenses.

this week is awful.
i have the titans from last week in one league, and my best option in the other is the eagles.
not much on the wire. bears? texans? jags? raiders? pretty bad

Yep. I've got the Bills leftover from last week who are against @MIA this week. Had hoped to scoop up NE after waivers ran today but someone took them during that process. Probs sticking with the Bills.

running with the Pack this week
also retained the Titans - first time in a couple years carrying 2 but pretty bare ww

Ive got the Titans as well and may just stick with them. 12 sacks the last two weeks and face the most sacked QB in the league who lost most of his weapons and is playing on the road? I think TEN will destroy them. Other options are TB vs SF (bleh going to the west coast and they are not a good defense), CIN vs CLE (Im done streaming against CLE, they have been respectable and CIN only has one double digit pt week), and GB vs CHI (no cornerbacks, dont trust them).

ATL or NYJ? I am leaning towards Atlanta. San Diego carved up Denver, but they still look beatable.

Ravens get a dream matchup with the Jets and turnover machine Geno Smith - they'd be my #1 choice this week.
Titans have to be licking their chops against that terrible Indy OL (though Indy will likely score some points)
Pats (if available) have a great matchup with a Roethlisburger-less Steelers team

Was coming to check to see if anyone put Ravens. They can definitely be a plus defense. I'm a Jets fan and I will be rooting for them on Sunday, but there is no way ***AND THE ROCK MEANS NO WAY*** their offensive woes correct themselves anytime soon. It's bad.
Bucsfan5493

Probably gonna stick with the Titans. The options out there this week for me are awful.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
Yeah, take the 1 drive that Geno had. He took a sack, fumbled the ball and threw an interception.
Now, multiply that by how many drives the jets will have on Sunday.
That's how awesome the Ravens D/ST will be this week. If they have an 8 sack/4 Int game will anyone be shocked?

Plus a Pick 6. I smell a hung out pattern that is picked off and going the other way untouched.

Going with Cincy. Kessler's played relatively mistake free football so far, but was sacked 6 times last week.

Who I'm going with as well. Seem to be the most widely available given no one was starting them last week at NE. Hope they play more like they did at home vs. Miami than the last 2 disastrous road performances at Dal and NE.

Doing the same. Feeling a bounce back game for Bills defense as far as fantasy points go.
