Pitt @ NYJ - No Palomalu, No Shazier...pretty bad unit even with them...can we trust them this week in an excellent match-up vs the Jets? I'm not so sure...
NO vs. SF - SF gives up the 8th most pts to opposing defenses according to yahoo. NO D has come on as of late, posting double digit points against GB and Carolina...BOTH of which have very mobile QBs. SF o line is a mess rt now and offense not hitting on all cylinders. I think this is the pick.
ATL @ TB - they pitched a shutout at home vs TB in week 3, but it was their only good game of the season...coming off a bye and in TB...who knows how this one will go. They are a REALLY bad defense that has the ability to make crappy offenses look good. McCown gets the start. Tempting but I'm avoiding.
Buff vs. KC - I bet a lot of leagues, like mine, had the buff defense owner drop them last week due to bye week blues. They are a top defensive unit. Playing KC and Alex smith doesn't really turn the ball over much, but they also don't score many points, and buff D is stifling on opposing offenses, limiting them to just 151 pts thus far on the season. That's 4th best after Det, KC, and Arizona. If your league scoring allows for negative pts in the pts against column, buff D might be the safest albeit lower ceiling play this week.
Rt now I have my waiver pickups set for buff D at #1, simply bc they aren't just a good play for this week, they are a buy and hold defense based on how good they are. My second choice is NO, and then Pitt.
What you guys got?
