Adoree was put on IR and expected to be three weeks.(two more)
Evans wasn't suspended so he's back.
Beasley isn't a starter but they've been saying "hopeful" for like two months now so ....
They're really in a spot with Fulton potentially busting and having to play a 7th round CB. They signed two DBs this week
The Titans have a three safety set that they love and I expected that to be played more often. They can be fine with one weak corner.
Minshew got them pretty good last year but I don't think it's wise to bet against Byard. If he's got the stones to throw deep, it could be nice for the Titans.
I don't think the Jags can handle Clowney or Simmons
It's a real good matchup for the Titans but can the Jags take advantage of that one CB spot

For this week, I actually think the Bears are the best play of the three, and fairly good play overall.icehouse said:
Longer term, Saints are holding value as a run-stuff D and Bucs look ascending while the Bears are moving the other way.

Seems everyone is high on the prospects of Tampa and WFT -- except for FBGs in ROS rankings.

Thoughts on Week 3 Streamers? I would have been all in on Washington against Cleveland after week 1, but the Browns offense did show a pulse Thursday. Tampa Bay at Denver looks like the only good streaming option among the usual suspects.
Dolphins at Jaguars
Texans at Steelers
Bengals at Eagles
49ers at Giants
Raiders at Patriots
Titans @ Vikings
Football Team @ Browns
Rams at Bills
Bears at Falcons
Panthers at Chargers
Jets at Colts
Cowboys at Seahawks
Buccaneers at Broncos
Lions at Cardinals
Packers at Saints
Chiefs at Ravens
Dolphins at Jaguars
Texans at Steelers
Bengals at Eagles
49ers at Giants
Raiders at Patriots

Rams at Bills
Bears at Falcons

Jets at Colts
Cowboys at Seahawks
Buccaneers at Broncos
Lions at Cardinals
Packers at Saints
Chiefs at Ravens

Plenty of people picked up Arizona this week to stream. I’d include them in this list as a nice start against Detroit if you are continuing to stream.

Definitely agree if Golladay is out again. I'd consider them middle of the pack if Golladay plays.

Tell me more -- do you think these two clubs pan out to be forces this year?
A lot was said about the caliber of players at all levels on the TB D, and while they have built a blue-chipper squad they let the Saints hang 34 on them in Week 1. Do you think that this was just Week 1 and a solid offensive team?
Washington D shut down the Eagles, but the Eagles line was decimated and they were missing their workhorse back. Are WFT only utile against weak offensive teams or do you see them being a consistent potential streamer?

Talk me out of the Washington Football Team.
And if you can do that, then talk me out of Arizona.
And you can do that, then talk me out of Tampa Bay.

Points in favor of Tampa Bay Defense. I wouldn't consider them top tier for ROS, but still a very useful streamer next 3 weeks
Brady threw a pick 6, so Saints offense only put up 27 points
Buccs had 3 giveaways (2 INT, 1 Fumble), and zero takeaways - put the D in short fields (although lack of takeaways is an argument against starting them as a DST)
Saints were held to 271 yards of total offense
Michael Thomas wasn't hurt until the end of the game, and only caught 3 passes for 17 yards, so somebody was doing something right against one of the very best WR's in the league
They are expected to have a good offense helping them out
Near term schedule looks good:
Week 3 at Broncos - good matchup
Week 4 home vs Chargers - good matchup
Week 5 at Bears - OK matchup (depending on which Trubisky you are facing)
Week 6 home vs Packers - good week to drop them if Rodgers really is back
I don't really like the Buccs this week against Carolina - the Panthers defense is terrible, but their offense should be good
Points about the Footballs
Their defensive line should be elite
Their secondary is shakey
Their own offense is bad, so could put them in bad situations
That makes them look more like a situational play

Seahawks, Packers, Saints, or Colts...who has the best chance to have a splash game this week on defense?

Colts
I’m expecting the Pack to score 5 TDs by halftime, probably will give up a few once the games out of reach

It is unlikely that anyone is starting the Falcons Defense today; however, if you are then this news is a boost to their prospects.

How much is too much to bid on a good streaming D?

Bears may have some life down the road, but picked up the Chargers for this week.
Between the two on my squad, hoping to platoon matchups and turn this season around in this spot.

Indy seems like the best choice for the week, but given the Jets ultraconservative play calling, is anybody concerned they won't produce any sacjs or turnovers.
Stompin' Tom Connors
Footballguy
Oof. That's what 3 defensive keystone lost on the LAC D this year?
How do you think this changes their outlook this weekend and ROS as a streaming candidate?

It's got to hurt. That D-line looked awesome against the Chiefs too. Thanks Faust for posting this - I would not have been aware of it except for this post. (And props to the FBG Community Forum)!
So now do I keep the Chargers DST or pivot? My choices are
Chargers home vs. Carolina (minus McCaffery)
Cardinals home vs. Detroit (Golladay likely back) - definite potential for high scoring game
Browns home vs. Washington (Guard Scherff is out for Wash. but The Bengals hung 30 points on them last week). (Denzel Ward is Q with a Groin and Greedy Williams is Out with a shoulder).

Our of those options I like the Browns match up the best.
For me, it's looking like either sticking with the Chargers, which I am really nervous about, or pivoting to the Bears, or potentially the Falcons or Titans.
None of those options scream out over the others to me.

I guess the Giants might also be possible - Kittle, Garoppalo, Mostert, Coleman, Deebo Samuel all out and the Niners Defense should be much less scary with all their inuries.
Look at the Rams schedule all year, GO grab them. They held Dallas and Philly both under 20 pts so far.

Have to decide between Bills a d newly picked up Browns

Rolling with Cleveland in one league and Tampa Bay in the other. Looking like two bad/backup quarterbacks and hope for a crucial mistake for a pick six.

I'm not high on Washington because I expect Cleveland to throw as little as possible, which obviously cuts down the opportunities for sacks. That D-line is still stout so might be able to shut them down anyway (Cleveland ran well against Bengals but didn't crush them - and they are the Bengals). So at some point Baker may HAVE TO throw, but I don't expect much out of the Footballs offense either so that shouldn't occur until late.

Thought the Titans would be a sneaky late round pick up this year ... great early schedule.
They suck.

Own Arizona who’s been meh, but has Jets next week.
I rarely carry two defenses, but have the change to drop Gage who was a one week flyer and pickup Denver for this week in a must win situation.
That Thursday night game almost feels like a trap to me with Denver starting their QB3 who could put the jets in some decent field position.
But Denver is favored away and a low 40 point spread.

Damn. The colts played against me last week and did me dirty. I can still feel the sting. Good luck grabbing them.
