Cin vs KC?
Was vs Phi?
Was vs Phi?
Yup, those are the two that stand out to me. Even though Foles' stat line looked decent his timing was clearly off - his passes were coming out late - and he could have easily thrown 2 or 3 more picks than he did. DAL just barely missed them. If Vick is in or Foles is in WAS will get some TO's - no doubt. Also ATL might have been dropped in some leagues due to their NO matchup tis past weekend. They have a tasty date with AZ this weekend - at home.Cin vs KC?Was vs Phi?
I already had the cowboys from the philly matchup, shoul stick with them again.RAMS host the (Tebow led?) J-E-T-SCOWBOYS welcome the Browns to Jerruh-world
While I agree that starting WAS normally isn't a good idea, I like them next week. It's a division game, so they know how to play them. It will most likely be close and lower scoring so no real concern for giving up too many points. A few turnovers in favor of WAS is almost guaranteed and all it takes is for one of them to be returned for a TD for them to put up great points.Stay away from Was. I used them against Car last week and they were terrible
I'm gonna pass on CIN. Chiefs coming off a bye at home. I dunno.
I like STL vs NYJ.
I think he means the Chiefs are taking this week off @PIT on MNF, which is pretty likelyI'm gonna pass on CIN. Chiefs coming off a bye at home. I dunno.
I like STL vs NYJ.
No kidding, I'm about to grab them and roll with them for most of the season.wow i just looked at cincys schedule thru week 15kcoaksddalphithats pretty much a whos who of which offenses you wanna start your def against
Great post. I have the same D/ST usage as you from weeks 1-7. (The Bills cost me week 1.) For weeks 8-10 I used Detroit vs. SEA, @JAX, and @MIN. (Lions weren't that good week 10, though.) I next will be using the Bengals for Week 11: @KCWeek 12: OAKWeek 13: @SD (SD has been turnover prone but is looking a bit better lately so we'll see about this one)Week 14: DAL (turnover prone)Week 15: @PHI (turnover prone)Another D I'd eye and would've taken if I couldn't have Cinci was Denver, who has this schedule:Wk 11: SDWk 12: @KCWk 13: TB (skip this one)Wk 14: @OAKWk 15: @BALWk 16: CLEWk 17: KC (if you're in an oddball league that's still playing)Sticking with Denver for the foreseeable future, as they have a pretty good schedule ahead. The week 13 matchup with Bucs isn't very good, but unless something crazy happens, I'll already have the #1 seed locked up at that point, so the game doesn't really matter. I may look to grab a second defense for the week 15 matchup against the Ravens. I also did a check on my team's performance this year, as I've used the WW Defense approach. In previous years, my team has always been in the top five in overall scoring, so I was curious how I stand so far.I currently sit at 143 points total, which puts me second overall (tied with the Texans in average points, since they had a bye week). If not for a week 1 misstep with the Bills, who I actually drafted, I would have been even better.Week 1 - Bills (-1)Week 2 - Bengals (10)Week 3 - Cardinals (25)Week 4 - Cardinals (15)Week 5 - Cardinals (6)Week 6 - Cardinals (9)Week 7 - Cardinals (13)Week 8 - Chargers (8)Week 9 - Chargers (27)Week 10 - Broncos (31)Thought this would be an interesting look at how WW Defense works for those that are just getting their feet wet in the idea. An important part of the process is knowing when to hold (like I did with the Carindals). In every week except one I only held one defense on my roster. I carried both San Diego and Denver last week, because I wanted to keep the Chargers for the KC matchup, but I really like the Broncos schedule going forward.
Brady Quinn has been cleared to play this week. If he starts, is it bad news for Bengals defense because he isn't as reckless with the ball as Cassell?Just chase the Chiefs around. Matt Cassell is a TAINT waiting to happen every week.Biding highest on CIN with ATL as my backup bid
I think a real wildcard may be the opposite side here ... Miami's not so dynamic offense, on the road, short week ... all the makings of another crapfest.If one is truly bereft of anything else "sexier", the Bison may be a surprise ..What about Miami @ BUF? Good backup plan if you missed out on Denver/Cincy/Dallas? Or are the Rams a better bet?Short week and no FJax make it a decent matchup.
After dal destroying phi last week, Wash 100%. They want to see what Foles has, so expect him to take a lot of chances.Cinci was my other D queued up after waivers ran but I got Wash!Cin vs KC?Was vs Phi?
Looks like Quinn hasn't been clearded after all, so Cassell gets another start.I am trying to decide between Cincy @ KC and Atl vs. AriBrady Quinn has been cleared to play this week.

Depends on what your options are.On the road with three days rest is the biggest reason. I think the home team in this circumstance wins close to 75% of the time.The Bills have a competent offense that has the potential to be explosive at times.'kOOk said:tell me why I shouldn't start the Dolphin, please. not many choices by the way.
I get the part about rest/road but i think its offset with a TV game and division rival, maybe, i hope! The other wildcard hope is that miami takes that pounding from the Titans to heart.Bills will have to throw so there's some hope in a mistake or two there, too.Depends on what your options are.On the road with three days rest is the biggest reason.

ANOTHER PASSENGER ON THE BISON BANDWAGON, BROHAN!!! <- - - there's our "hug"Go Bills! Seahawks on bye and Indy facing Brady doesn't seem like a good idea. The wire is that bad for D's in my league for this week.Yeah, I started them, could I get a group hug?

I feel your pain, I made the same decision. Let's hope and pray that the Rams prey on the Jets.Wish I didWent with the Rams insteadGo Bills!

... and "KA-CHING!!" I had suggested them earlier in the thread, and when it came time, I opted for them over the likes of TB and Wash. 90 seconds in, and we get a ST score ... 'fins are outta synch all night. The second half sacks and picks were gravy. Well worth the gamble. Sets a nice tone for heading into Sunday in a must win sitch.Ka-Boom!!!ANOTHER PASSENGER ON THE BISON BANDWAGON, BROHAN!!! <- - - there's our "hug"Go Bills!
