My guess is Campbell with be able to play since he was feeling better this past Friday, and maybe even Weeden will be fine. They might keep the Patriots guessing.I was thinking New England was close to a lock next week at home vs the Browns, but can they stop Josh Gordon?
ETA: With Hoyer, Campbell and Weeden all out, they may really be in trouble at QB. Alex Tanney???
Ok, so assuming Campbell can play, is the New England D trustworthy at home or does Gordon alone make anyone give pause?My guess is Campbell with be able to play since he was feeling better this past Friday, and maybe even Weeden will be fine.

BB always gameplans against his opponent's best player. I'm pretty sure Gordon will not have a great game compared to his usual output.Ok, so assuming Campbell can play, is the New England D trustworthy at home or does Gordon alone make anyone give pause?My guess is Campbell with be able to play since he was feeling better this past Friday, and maybe even Weeden will be fine.

Houston did just fine vs the Pats today... granted, the Pats were on the road.
Consolidated your two posts because those are my two defenses. Arizona came up small against Philly today, but they are an elite real-life D, so it's hard to hate them too much in fantasy. I'll probably alternate Cinci/Arizona/Cinci the rest of the way, just because I love getting the Bengals at home, though I agree Arizona has a good match-up next week as well. Don't love Cinci @ Pitt Week 15 or Arizona @ Seattle Week 16.What's not to like about Arizona versus St Louis or Ten?
Also think Cincy has a nice schedule.
Agree. Bill will be analyzing every move Gordon made these last two games tonight and tomm and figure out a way to contain him.BB always gameplans against his opponent's best player.

I kinda think the NE defense can have a good game and Gordon can still make some noise. While BB is obviously a great coach, Gordon is all the Browns have on offense (OK, maybe Cameron, too) so I'm assuming he was the focus of the defense the last two weeks as well... he's had awful QBs throwing him the ball and he STILL had around 450 yards.Agree.

I was thinking about them as well. They played really well @ Hou 2 weeks ago. It's either them or someone from the Oak/NYJ matchup. I was hoping Geno Smith would get the start as he has been a turnover machine, but Garrard may start so not sure how well he will do.DA RAIDERS said:i may actually have to roll with jax to fill week 14.then car and ten. we'll see if anyone's stupid and drops a good matchup once waivers process.
Am considering both Thursday Night defenses - I think Jax may actually be a good play.I was thinking about them as well. They played really well @ Hou 2 weeks ago.

Keenum has only had two road starts out of his six. He actually had okay stat lines @KC and @AZ but has had 1 INT in his last home starts. Jacksonville has won three of four, so at least they haven't quit on the season. I want to believe Houston doesn't get excited for this game after losing to NE and Indy next week, but that could be donkey thinking.Am considering both Thursday Night defenses - I think Jax may actually be a good play.I was thinking about them as well.

Yeah, Smith keeps giving the opposing offense a short field. Always need to keep in mind how good your team's defense is on offense. If Garrard is named the starter, he just needs to sustain some drives and not turn the ball over as frequently. Jets are very good vs. the run - will need to wait to see the status on Jennings. if DMC goes, Oakland won't be able to run and I don't think I would trust McGloin on a lot of 3rd and longs.I picked up the Jets to use for the playoffs. Not feeling extremely confident about that though.
Talib will be huge in that regard... combined with scheme, I'm rather bearish on Gordon's prospects to completely wreck your day from a DST perspective. I'd absolutely still play Gordon where I had him though.RBM said:Agree.

They only netted 8 points in my league yesterday. I can't see a reason to want to start them in the fantasy playoffs. They get the Bucs in Tampa this week.....a 'middle of the road' type of matchup.....just don't see the logic. They are available in my league and I am looking at teams like Jax/Tampa Bay and maybe NO over the Bills. Tell me why you like em.Picked up the bills last week and rolling with them.
Don't trust Oakland on the road for 10 AM games. Jets may be freefalling, but that still doesn't mean Oakland's a safe play.Geno Smith expected to start week 14. Definitely bumps Oakland .
My exact situation. Fingers crossed.Braktastic said:I'm tired of getting screwed over by the waiver wire defense du jour. This past weekend the Bills were terrible. I'm rolling with the Chiefs from here on out and hoping Houston gets healthy soon.
I get what you're saying, I'm a Bills fan AND started them for 8 points. However, they lead the league in sacks and are tied for the lead in interceptions. They haven't had the TDs of the elite defenses, and they've given up a lot of yardage and points. The have looked like a team that is working through growing pains, and have some solid matchups remaining. While I agree that they might not be the slam dunk we hoped they might be, the matchups are still nice, and if you can't do better... You could do worse!Isotopes said:They only netted 8 points in my league yesterday. I can't see a reason to want to start them in the fantasy playoffs.

Im whichu. With a little luck nobody will come off the sideline and prevent a DST this week.I'm going to stick with Baltimore in week 14 against the Vikings, even though they burned me against Pittsburgh. There aren't really any better options on the wire other than maybe the Raiders.
I'm worried about weeks 15 and 16 though. None of the available options have good matchups.
I've picked KC back up, so here's to a (hopefully) solid run through the playoffs.My exact situation.

I followed the sharks, but mostly like them against JAX and thought they were playing at home in the weather. Got lucky here as it didn't hurt me. I'm thinking of picking up SD vs NYG who are terrible or PIT vs MIA in the slop.

Is your wife ok?I've got Carolina and San Fran this weekend... I scoured the wife.. and you know what.. screw it.. I'm rolling with Carolina... I don't trust the Jets or Oakland to do any better.
I realize the saints are a different team in the Superdome, but they are on a short week...

I can't get with the Titans. Cardinal and Jaguars are both much improved recently.Titans schedule looks pretty good after this week. Arizona and Jax weeks 15 and 16.
I think I'd still rather have the Titans against those two as opposed to many other matchups that will be available on the wire.I can't get with the Titans. Cardinal and Jaguars are both much improved recently.Titans schedule looks pretty good after this week. Arizona and Jax weeks 15 and 16.
Yeah the Jags are playing better, put they're still not an offensive juggernaunt. And Palmer is good for a few sacks and a turnover or 2 every game it seems. You could certainly do worse over the last 2 weeks than the Titans.I can't get with the Titans. Cardinal and Jaguars are both much improved recently.Titans schedule looks pretty good after this week. Arizona and Jax weeks 15 and 16.
their secondary makes me very nervous, but ravens and giants are both kind of crummy offenses with sketchy o-lines.Detroit?
They will be fighting for the division title and playing at home 2 weeks out of 3. Their potential value may depend upon your scoring settings. (I expect them to accrue sacks and turnovers but also allow yards and points.)
- 14: at Eagles (Rank: 11th)
- 15: vs Ravens (Rank: 25th)
- 16: vs Giants (Rank: 32nd)
