Waiver Wire Team D/ST - Seattle (1 Viewer)

[(unwelcomed)GUEST]

Ok, they've been up and down and downright awful over the past two weeks BUT, this week they face the very sackable turnover machine in Kyle Boller. Steven Jackson has missed three straight practices with back spasms. Why isn't this the lock of the week considering total yardage against, points against, turnovers with Boller's propensity for fumbles and interceptions and, sacks. Am I missing something here?

I got them in for one league this week. No Bulger, No Jackson, this will be fun.

have them, and will probably start them over NewOrleans, though thats tough,

because NewOrleans has been on a tear, and despite playing NE, they still record the most DTD's than anyone else.

I do like Seattle's chances of multiple sacks, and potential shutout

Keep looking and mining for data and the only thing that I can see is that Boller loves TE Daniel Fells in previous games. In PPR I guess this guy is a sleeper this week as Boller goes to him, on average, 5 times a game. A ton of Boller's passes for anytype of gain went to Jackson tho. Without Jackson, looks like Samkon Gado is the guy (unless he's hurt, not sure). I don't see Boller for passing for more than 150 yds and personally handing the ball over at least 2 1/2 times. Didn't want to let the cat out of the bag as I've been bangin Waiver D's for a while now but I think I've gotta drop the Chargers, who I just grabbed monday, for the hawks D this week. In other leagues can't see the risk in sitting Cincy against Cleveland...wish I had the cajonnes to do it. Hoping for 20+ if Sjax is a no go, if he can play probably roll with a dinged SD D

NO likes to throw in a return to help matters but I don't see a lot of sack chances against NE. If u roll with NO I hope u get a kick off/punt for a td. With Moss and Welker chasing down DBs on the one or two intercepts, that D td is going to be elusive this week IMO. If they get to Brady, he may cough one up but I like the SpTeams chances better. Either way, as a long time Raven fan that's seen plenty of Boller, I can promise a minimum of two turnovers from him alone...he loves to get sacked too for some reason, usually tripping over his own feet and fumbling the ball.

I suppose one reason is that Seattle has averaged giving up 31 points per game on the road this season. Now, most of those games were against really good offensive teams (Indy, Minnesota, Arizona, Dallas) so that may be a skewed stat. Still, the Hawks are 0-5 on the road and have been regularly hammered.I guess we'll see if the quality of team they face (St. Louis does look dreadful) trumps the poor quality of their defensive play on the road this year.

I have AZ so I picked them up this week. Just thought Tenn was playing well enough to avoid this week.

I know SEA won't shut them out like earler, but it will be ugly.

I suspect that Boller will throw a few picks. If SJax can't go, all the better.

There should be a few sacks. Overall a nice defensive effort.

Prediction

Seattle 24-10

I'm trying to decide between SEA against STL and BAL vs PIT (with Big Ben and Batch out).

Baltimore could just clean up on Pittsburgh's inexperienced QB, but there's a chance that he's flat out better than Boler right out of the gate (no tape on him, never know).

I'm leaning Seattle and am REALLY hoping S-Jax is out (my opponent has him as well). STL is also missing a olineman and has two others that are questionable. I LIKE it.

 

[(unwelcomed)GUEST]

looks like Jackson is going to play...makes decision a little tougher.

I'm rolling with them this week. They look like they are a fairly predictable defense (did I just jinx myself?) by playing well against poorly rated offenses and poorly against highly rated offenses. If this holds true then Seattle should make for a nice sleeper DEF this week.
