There 3 game stretch is about as tough as it gets
I am also debating what to do with Baltimore. Own NEP and had grabbed BAL a couple weeks ago for the bye.
So right now I am rostering CLE & SF. My plan is to play CLE the next 3 weeks (vs MIA, PIT, CIN) and then the 49ers weeks 15 & 16 (if I make it that far) vs ATL & LAR.
Wish I had room for 2 but I don’t
I dropped the Rams and picked up the Ravens. Not as much for this week but for the playoffs. I could also have had the Falcons, who I like the best for this week, or Browns and Titans were also available and possible.
Cleveland doesnt seem so sexy with Garrett susp and another DL susp and Burnett IR'd. Even against the Browns. Fitz and Parker are clicking. No running game, but Ballage is unquestioned RB now, maybe he can relax and play better.
miami isn't an auto play for me anymore, with fitzmagic back, but philly's ROS is pretty sweet. as is gb's.
I don't get this line of thinking. Even without Garrett Cleveland is a much better than that atrocious Giants defense.
I know I’m just talking to myself, but With the Niners hurting at many skill positions coming down to a GTD (Breida, Kittle, Sanders, Deebo) this night not be such a bad play to grab Green Bay for the next two weeks.
GB is available in my league. Some dummy (me) dropped them for the Raiders D to use lay week. GB is on my waiver pick up list. Fingers crossed.
deciding between GB and Browns....on Browns currently, but could be convinced otherwise.
have been debating picking up the Browns as well, but the lack of pass rush with no Garrett puts more pressure on their DB's... and to my knowledge, they're not exactly stellar. Granted it's MIA, but they haven't actually been as terrible as they have to start the season.
I am in the same boat and I dropped the Rams. Deciding between Titans, Raiders, and Falcons for this week.4th&inches said:

Yep, and expecting them to have a top 10 week, not as good as usual, but serviceable, and should be all I need.Don Hutson said:
We have similar thinking. I dropped the Raider D. I don't trust them going to the east coast and playing a decent QB. That Raider secondary is simply not good.
Debating them or the Jets and leaning Patriots, which seems weird given DAL's offensive weapons and being a tough match up for any D - given up the least amount of fantasy points to Ds this year per Yahoo's reckoning.
Jets aren't world-beaters but are on the upswing, have the run D to limit the Raiders' biggest offensive threat, and while I love 'em and love what I'm seeing from them this year, this seems exactly like just the kind of game the Raiders would drop on the road.
I picked up Green Bay for this exact reason.
Niners this week. I also like Seattle as a sleeper this week vs a banged up Philly team as long as Clowney plays.
I would play the D that is playing the terrible Redskins. Haskins isn't even close to being an NFL QB.
Opposing fantasy defenses have averaged the most fantasy points against the Giants over the last 6 weeks by a wide margin. In a fantasy league that doesn't give many fantasy points for points scored or yards given up, opposing fantasy defenses have averaged 15.8 fantasy points against the Giants over that stretch. Second worst over that period is Tampa Bay at 12.4 fantasy points given up. The Giants downturn does coincide with Barkley's injury so maybe a healthy Barkley would help both in pass protection and in keeping defenses honest. Here is what opposing defenses have done against the Giants:
I was doing the same until someone inexplicably dropped BAL for DET, burned my #2 priority and made the switch. GB,@bal,@NO is brutal, down 2 DL, I feel lucky last week they got 8 pts on the last play or it would have been a single digit week.
League Managers are following the weekly rankings, some look down the road, some looking for an edge this week. DET's edge over BAL is minimal at best. I think I'm actually playing DET in one DFS lineup. But, this is only a one week play.
The narrative about New England at the beginning of this season disagrees with you.
I was mentioning NE because whoever roster'd BAL dropped them during their bye week after they torched SEA in week 7 and looking ahead playing against NE early in the year was a team to avoid playing your defense. BAL manhandled NE and woke everyone up. Enter Lamar with introduction by Ingram.
Now that the weather is looking like big wind in Washington, Detroit may be a better play this weeks. Haskins and wind...that has to be nice, right?
Have DET available to me as well, but am leaning toward dropping LAR to add ATL; Defense has looked real good the past 2 weeks and they're playing Winston...
I’m going Lions over ATL. Bucs could still score, I’ll take the high school QB against my defense
very true; although with Winston throwing INT's at a historic rate, I think ATL has the potential to run one back a well...even if TB puts up more points.
The Pitt D is good. Cincy is awful. I picked up the Raiders D to play against Cincy last week and it worked out. Pitt is twice the D of Oakland.
6th overall in Football Outsiders' weighted DVOA, apparently a healed secondary. I picked them up for Wk 13 at least.
