Do I dare play the Bears this weekend?

That’s why I might carry the Broncos and Cardinals for two weeks to get a double dose of jets.

Denver ranked pretty high against the stinky jets, but for
whatever reason It feels like a trap game to me.

anyone like the Chiefs defense? on my waiver and thinking about picking up considering the next 4-5 games. This week against NE is a little dicey but I think they can do well

Have Buf who play lights out until the 4th quarter and they have left the building 2 weeks in a row

I picked up the Jets and dropped the Chargers this week. In addition to losing all their DL and Safety Derwin James, Chargers also lost Chris Harris this week.

I have both of those as well. And I never carry two defenses. I just saw the opportunity to play the jets twice in a row. I’m in last place at 1-2 with the least points scored so I need a win now. I think I’m rolling Denver this week and Arizona next week otherwise I need to drop Denver now and move on to another waiver flyer.

Jets seem like a solid pickup to me.
Denver starting their 3rd QB on the road on short rest while traveling across the country.
I'd have to drop NE (not playable vs. KC this week) to grab them which I don't love for looking at their matchup vs. DEN next week but my plan was to go by committee and I just happened to get NE off the wire (plus NE defense has been assisted by two TD's already but they may just keep doing that because Belichick).

With PIT now on a bye I am ending up getting what is left for D/ST this week.
JETS - JETS JETS JETS
Also not dropping PIT either - dropped R Gage instead.
Other league I bid the most for a D/ST at $7 to pick up LA RAMS. Rams looked good in week 5 as well. This league I stream defenses. Other league I may just play PIT.

Well I stuck with Denver and that didn’t work out well.VikingFrog said:
A few sacks but zero turnovers.
I will say they were a punter tackle away from a punt return, and Darnold tried to gift them a pick six in the 4th on a sideline route that went off the DBs hands who jumped the route.
So it could have gone the other way pretty quickly.
Also two garbage sacks taking it from 4 to 6 points in my league makes me feel fractionally better.
Nothing worse to me than starting off Thursday with a clunker. I should have gone with my gut and pulled them.

Looking forward to dropping the JETS D and holding PIT now that their bye will pass. It was nice to see the pick 6 though.

they’ve been underwhelming but good matchup

I’m counting on the small hands QB to lose a couple
OFF TOPIC - is Slayton a decent flex? my opponent dropped him. have seen him a few times and I’m really impressed, to me he’s the only Giant worth owning rn

I’m in the same boat. Although they come off waivers tomorrow, I’m thinking of using a waiver. Which I rarely do on a defense as I usually stream.
I have Arizona right now versus jets for next week, but Steelers versus Wentz and Philly feels awful nice. Arizona’s defensive schedule gets tough quick so they don’t have much long term value. Plus, you are bypassing the bye week for your defense Early and not having to worry about it anymore.
Weeks 7/8/9 versus Tennessee, @ BAL, @ DAL seems like the toughest part of their schedule, but TN may not be too scary and a streamer could be found for the Bal and dallas game.
I think you’ve convinced me, and I’ve convinced myself to claim them.

I wasn't shocked to see them on the waiver wire on a short bench (4) league, but I am sure the former owner was shocked to see I used my last add (5) to pick up PIT and drop C Hyde.
So, now I have PIT in two leagues and yes, it's set it and forget it. The world of streaming defenses every week or two just got a lot easier. Probably will set it and forget it every week. Now, during the BAL or DAL games I might look around lol, but it's silly cuz I want the total point package for PIT the ROS. PIT is the highest rated to finish #1 in points. I know projections are just that, but ya can't do any better at this point then PIT.

dropped them for the Rams who finally woke up
love the Cards matchup Week 5 but that’s two weeks in a row they’ve lost to weak teams

If Cam sits again, what do we think of Denver Defense?
I was holding them for one week against the Jets (that didn’t go well) but after watching New England qb play last night I’m intrigued.

I didn’t think Stidham looked that bad, the one int was underthrown but it also travelled like 50 yards in the air so I’d think with a week of practice with him as the starting QB they’d be able to work toward his strengths.
The other int was Eddelman’s fault (I think Stidham was in for that). It wasn’t a great throw it was too high but you just catch it and get tackled by the Honey Badger for a loss you don’t let your eyes wander and cause a pick 6.
After a game like that I’d be afraid if the Patriots get up they don’t put any brakes on and take out their frustrations on the scoreboard. Probably a high risk high reward play.

I can’t imagine having the guts to start the Cowboys after what I’ve seen. But at 1-3 I may have to take the risk for high reward in a must win game.

Sticking with the Rams until their bye week.
Maybe.

I grabbed them again. I went to grab cowboys based on the rankings above and they’ve scored 2 points this season under my scoring. 2!bicycle_seat_sniffer said:

I'm rolling with KC this week and hope to just keep them in my lineup for a while as this is their upcoming schedule: LV, BUF, DEN, NYJ, CAR, BYE
My league doesn't punish a D for giving up points so the BUF matchup doesn't scare me too much and the run of DEN, NYJ, CAR seems juicy.

Any thoughts on the Rams DST now that Kyle Allen is starting over Haskins for the Yellow W's? Part of the attraction of the Rams was that Haskins so awful, Allen should at least be competent.
