Week 11 WW Defense (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter Short Corner
- Start date

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.

I already had the cowboys from the philly matchup, shoul stick with them again.

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.

Not much on my WW, so I might roll with Atlanta v. Arizona.

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.

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 likely

Oh, I forgot the Chiefs play tonight. I'm a Charles/Bowe owner who expects nothing every week now.

currently streamed BAL the last 2 weeks, but am seriously considering swapping them for DEN for week 11 as well as the playoffs as they appear to have some sweet matchups and have been pretty consitently good

Washington has a great matchup but they are a poor pass rush team. Cinci and the Rams generate a lot of pass rush.
Bengals 28 sacks, 7 INT, 8 FR
Rams 26 sacks, 8 INT, 1 FR
Was 14 sacks, 10 INT, 6 FR
Washington has been great generating TO but so has Cinci. The Rams haven't generated a TO in their last four games and my gut tells me they are going to be flat after a tough game in SF.
I think KC is the tastiest matchup.

No kidding, I'm about to grab them and roll with them for most of the season.

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)

Picked up Denver for 9-12, will probably hold longer since they've turned into a good defense play regardless of matchup. I've also stashed away the Jets for 13-16. Not loving what I see from that combo in week 15 (NYJ @ TEN, DEN @ BAL) so I'll keep my eyes open for a prime matchup
I picked up Dal and Cincy last week and started Dal and plan on starting Cincy this week but KC looked half-way descent this week so now am thinking of playing Dal. Was going to drop Dal but now am thinking of keeping them for at least week 13 against Philly again? But can the eagles play that bad again?

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?

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 ..
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!

Baltimore may have been dropped recently; this sure as hell ain't yer 2000 Ravens "D" ... but... 2 of the next 3 weeks against the Stillers (this week without Ben), sandwiched around a date with Phil and Norv.
Jacoby Jones heating up the return game as well. Make for a very nice play this week.

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. Ari

Have to decide between Miami @ Buffalo or the Redskins vs. Phiadelphia. Wish I had better options on the wire.

I totally missed out on WWs last night because I've been playing a bit of Call of Duty. I ran to my WWs at 3AM and was extremely surprised to see no one put claims in on CIN in two of my leagues. I was astonished. In my other league, I grabbed DAL.

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.

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 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.Similar threads
