Dropped LA for NYJ this week. Get a playmaker back, had 7 sacks vs. Cincy, bad offensive team with one of 2 best offensive players dinged. Hope I don't regret giving up on LAR after their stinker last week.
For those of you who COULD start Vikings but aren't, shame on you. + personnel and one of the best defensive-minded coaches in the league. I have Minny in one league and regardless of their sched I'm starting them.
I just dropped eagles for the Vikings defense. All aboard.
+1.I'm soooo tempted/torn on whether to do this. Talk me into it, please!
I'm going this way in multiple leagues. So you know it's a huge mistake.Thoughts on the Bills tonight? Fitzpatrick has been historically bad against Rex Ryan, it's in Buffalo, it's a Thurs night game which tend to be more sloppily played and you know Rex always wants to stick it to the Jets.
This is what I'm doing tonight. Thursday night game, plenty of bad-looking throws by Fitz last week. So you know the Jets are going to blow up and drop 34 while losing or something like that.Thoughts on the Bills tonight?

Noodle arm and depleted OL is scorching them right now.And so it goes...
Way to go!Tyrod blowing up on my bench & killing my starting DST.
only 3 off. You guys all definitely jinxed it.This is what I'm doing tonight. Thursday night game, plenty of bad-looking throws by Fitz last week. So you know the Jets are going to blow up and drop 34 while losing or something like that.

I am. I have mild expectations.kyoun1e said:Anyone rolling with the OAK D?
At home. Atlanta flying all the way to the west coast. Sanu and Julio somewhat dinged. Matt Ryan on the road.
Oakland looked horrible last week but that was on the road in New Orleans where Brees is unstopable.
Could see Oakland getting out in front and then that D line swarming Ryan.
I currently have LA starting but need points and I'm already starting R. Wilson. PHI sitting in waivers but I smell Chicago victory at home and Wentz taking a step back.
This is what I'm doing this week.Ilov80s said:Bears are my easy pick this week. No competition to get them. Monday night home game against a rookie QB. Not the best offensive weapons. D wasn't too bad week 1 on the road against a playoff contender. Just because Philly beat an awful Browns team, don't confuse Philly for a good team just yet.
I was there, and I can tell you the Jets defense had an odd night. They got burned on two long passes (71 and 82 yards if I remember correctly), one was blown coverage, one was a bomb to Goodwin who has Olympic speed. There was a defensive TD that the other Marshall handed the Bills and the 4th TD was garbage time. They contained McCoy almost completely, he had one 20-25 yard run and a bunch of two-yarders. They did not, however, put a lot of pressure on Tyrod.WTF happened to the Jets...?
Does anyone know? I was not in a position to watch the games, but from the box score it looks like they showed up week 1 then then just went to sleep Thursday night.
Looks like its going to be another year of streaming in a couple of my leagues.
TZM
I decided to stick with them one more week. Too much talent and they always give Seattle fits.How are people feeling about LA?
Looked up last year's stats. Sacked Wilson 6 and 4 times respectively, picked off Wilson both games, and scored a TD both games.
Wilson hobbled, offensive line seems like it has problems, and the running game isn't quite in a groove.
For whatever reason, the Rams seem to be jeckyl and hyde when it comes to home vs away. And after being embarrassed on national TV I wonder if they come out fired up.
All that said, their offense (and Seattle's D) may be too much to overcome.
I need upside after Forte ran all over me. Seems to be few options with this kind of upside.
The Chiefs had a nice schedule IIRC. - For SF: At Carolina is still a lousy matchup. At Seattle after that. Ari 2 weeks after that.Am I the only one thinking that SF d is possibly legit?
Im thinking the Rams are a better offense than they were in week 1 and sf might just be that good?
I'm considering picking up sf to pair with philly for the time being.
If they do well tomorrow in Car they'll be a hot waiver pickup. Every year there seems to be 1 defenses are available on the ww early in the season that go on to be a top 5 defense.
Last year it was KC. I'm thinking this year SF has a shot. Young talented group with a very aggressive DC and scheme.
This is more or less a repost of something I said at the beginning of the week 1 defensive matchup thread.Top 8 Most FF PA Allowed to DT:
BAL
BUF
CHI
CLE
LA
MIA
SEA
TEN
Obvioisly, the sample size of 1 game is insufficient to be meaningful. Baltimore and Miami may be lousy offensively, but they were both in low scoring games with Buffalo and Seattle. The health of Watkins and Wilson were primary reasons the latter two teams struggled.
But CHI, CLE and LA are going to be on this consistently. TEN may have the worst set of WRs in the NFL and Walker was uninvolved.
THE KEY to effective DT streaming is the generousity of the upcoming opponent's offensive. Target the DT playing those four and you'll do well.
Which lousy offenses are missing? Low scoring & prone to give up sacks or turnovers? Probably put DAL, MIN and PHI are in the conversation, though Dak & Wentz looked poised Week 1. MIN will be in a low of low scoring games.
Anyone else?
Bit of a thread hijack, but I'll ask anyway~So tired of streaming defenses and making the wrong call every week. Next year, I'll just draft Denver in the 4th. Hell with it.
Hoping to pick up NYG. Next couple weeks should be decent; in fact, other than Week 5 @ GB the RoS has several good matchups.Miami vs clv looks nice. Their schedule isn't bad either.
Nyg vs was?
Thoughts?
MN is actually available in one of mineHoping to pick up NYG. Next couple weeks should be decent; in fact, other than Week 5 @ GB the RoS has several good matchups.
Jets have an attractive stretch again weeks 7-10 (Bal, @ Cle, @ Mia, LA.)
On the road at Carolina worries meMN is actually available in one of mine
