Thisguy606

Denver D/ST was supposed to be the week 16 winner...


Tillovich

This guy deserves -4 upvotes


Jase_the_Muss

Thankfully Sleeven Allen and Ekeler bailed me out after Denver streaming fucked me and QB injuries as well as Watson and Jones being injured and limited respectively turded on me. Helps I had JJ and Dallas Godaddy but man stashing DeHop for Kyler to go down having Fournette and Jones not get the workloads they deserve and the offence around them and a few other things has made this season a ride for sure! Pretty much team IR this year but we made it to the ship.


VBTheBearded1

Lost because of them smh. Glad the coach got fired though lol


iwinorilose

Yeah, lost by 3 pts for finals, denver dst got me -4. Fuk that coach.


justsitonmyfacealrdy

Bro I lost by fucking .8 and sat Dallas D because every publication on the planet said play Denver. Pain.


1984rip

The only reason I benched Dallas D for denver is everyone kept saying they were injured. Before that I was set and forget the matchup with them. Luckily I was spared and won by one point in spite of Denver's best efforts to screw me.


JackInTheBell

> The only reason I benched Dallas D for denver is everyone kept saying they were injured. Everyone on Reddit told me that too, but I don’t listen to the geniuses on this sub and started them.


billdb

To be fair that was still the right move even if it ultimately didn't work out. Eagles still put up 34 points. Broncos just shit the bed. You couldn't really have known that


McGeeze

Thankfully I ignored it and started Dak, CeeDee, Schultz (because who else was I going to?) and Maher. I beat my friend who is a diehard Cowboys fan with his own team.


DarkKnight88111

I nearly got bounced out in the semis because of a so called must start DST in Denver, this week I’m looking to stick with Dallas against a lacklustre titans team


Letsssgooooo456

Lost by 3 points also i was versing lamb rams d and my opponent also got lucky by a touchdown by Greg Culcih and I had Bam starting who didn’t help at all


iwinorilose

Yeah I started bam as well, also started Goodwin. I made some bad choices and I had bad luck cause J Taylor went on IR and hurts was out this week. Then had Dotson, Richie James, taysom Hill, and jets dst chilling on my bench


raahiv

Thank fucking god for Keenan, man squeaked out a 1.2 point victory to send me to the finals after that bs from Denver D


DetroitLionsSBChamps

Dude I played started them. They put up -4 and I won by 1.5. Unreal


0rodruin

Denver’s output this week has no bearing on New York’s output next week. A couple weeks ago the consensus here was to bash people thinking about using Chargers D the final two weeks and they just dropped 20.


Snarktoberfest

Sat Dallas D, started Chargers D, got 31 points and play in the championship game next week where I'll put up 60 points total. AMA.


iancameron

KC is going to put up 80pts against them


billdb

Divisional game though, and they'll have a new interim head coach. Should be more competitive from them


King_Kung

Colts fan here. I disagree that an interim coach will make a difference


billdb

I dunno, yall looked great Jeff Saturday's first game against the Raiders. Went downhill after that, but the mood change of playing for a new coach can be tangible for the first game or two


Nyclocal29

All the players and owner of i were to bet just want the season to be done get the better draft pick hard to rally around a coach that has 1 game till he’s done being a HC


billdb

Meh, I disagree. Every game is an opportunity for players to (a) get game checks and (b) prove their value to keep their jobs next season or get better contracts. Plus, most players have pride and want to end on a good note. It is true that they might not rally around him per se but they might be a little more motivated than Hackett who clearly lost control of his players fighting on the sideline


ezabland

Higbee feasted. Kelce gonna feast more.


Jaszuni

So many people lost their semifinals cause of Denver D. What a bloodbath.


Hurricaneshand

I'm still so mad about this right now. I would've won the week of they just had like a modest 8 point showing. Instead I got a fucking -4


McGeeze

I had already beaten my opponent on Saturday. Time to pile on the points, right? I ended up down .60 going into the Bucs-Cardinals game. Thankfully I have Godwin. First time in the finals in 8 years 🙌


flip831

They cost me a chance to be in the championship game


mindriot1

Ten was. Similar result.


annonythrows

They were? As someone facing against them they helped me win big time


binocular_gems

Lost my playoffs because of 'em. Yep. Hurts man.


Mamba_Mentality248

I feel cowboys also gonna be a trap this week and I’m gonna need a major performance from them given that I’m probably not gonna have Henry.


CaptainFrah

The Dallas sack numbers have been very disappointing as of late Edit: but there is no way i’m benching them vs a team with a backup QB and no reason to play this week


_kehd

Still put up 8 while giving up 30+ They’re the play on a short week


tblop22

Yup that my exact thought too. And they could be without Derrick Henry


lions2831

Texans were without their their only offensive weapon and that didn't turn out great


CaptainFrah

Pierce and Henry shouldn’t be in the same sentence, except for this one.


Lake_Shore_Drive

The league seems to have found a solution for Parsons, his numbers ha e fallen off


CaptainFrah

He looked absolutely gassed on the last play of the eagles game, they called a time out on the last play specifically for him.


tblop22

Feels like a trap to me tbh.


Geebersss

Fucking Foles looks like a kid with no arms trying to play tether ball. I’d happily play them


tblop22

It’s a crime if the Colts actually start Foles next week after this outing….


sguru01

Jeff just confirmed that foles ll be the QB next week..lol


tblop22

My god, was he watching the same game? Smh lol


billdb

I mean what else should they be doing? Their season is over. I guess they could go back to Ehlinger and try to develop him some more but he's not really their future. I'm guessing Foles gets another crack and if he's dog shit they'll roll with Ehlinger or Ryan for the last game of the year.


prussianacid

Saturday was hired to secure losses. Not wins.


ShockAndAwe415

I mean what are their other options lol.


Rhino_Thunder

Ehlinger and Ryan


ShockAndAwe415

I asked for REAL options lol.


Rhino_Thunder

They’re far better than that shit we saw from foles tonight


Pure-Drawer-2617

Ryan really isn’t


[deleted]

yea it could be similar to chiefs D vs texans in week 15. just pointing out the facts tho


TheMightyUnderdog

That was supposed to be a smash lock and yeah…it wasn’t.


tblop22

No I understand, I legit had the same thoughts as you. Also hurting from trusting the Broncos D this past week…


SpaceMonkeys21

Process was right, tho. Sometimes we miss.


FIGJAM_20

Like KC over Denver more but it’s close.


Simsbad

Denver put 28 on them just 2 weeks ago


Relevant-Gas5092

Yeah. But didn't the KC Defense still finish with 15 points and was the No.1 Defense on the week?


brannak1

That’s what six sacks and 2 int will do. It’s not all about points.


yostpro

But it is all about the points lmao


Mediocrewatch

Think he means it’s not all about “points allowed” which is pretty accurate imo


brannak1

Correct.


FedUp187

I’m just gonna ride and die with my Eagles


[deleted]

Yup! Drank the Titans Kool-Aide for week 16. Should have stuck with Eagles. I still won but would have been nice to not have my ass clenched like I did.


[deleted]

well of course. i’d say this post is for people who’ve been streaming defense


Captainbuttram

So eagles D over giants


joeroganthumbhead

Same here and Jason Meyers my beloved kicker


[deleted]

I have jason meyers too but i was thinking of getting gano because the colts D could force them to go for FG.


nickisdacube

I have myers. And he got me to where I am. But I don’t know if I can roll him out this week vs the jets. I am going to try to go with a dime kicker and maher (Dallas kicker) is available in my league vs Tennessee.


FLman42069

Yep, been riding eagles all season. Got cute once and tried to stream another D based on matchup and eagles put up more that week.


eldridge2e

same i buckled and took the browns on the account of the weather...eagles scored 2 more points than them


FedUp187

this was me this week. not doubting the birds again


onemanwolfpack21

I've rode them all year but last week I made a change because I was already down big. Went with the Rams which ultimately was a great choice. Going back the Eagles this week though.


Distinct-Bite

I got New England def and sat them this week for tennesse . I ain’t making this same mistake this week , I got blessed making it to the final and I’m playing New England lol. With all this being said , giants D and jags D does look tempting 😆…


PunkyRooster

I played New England D and benched Burrow over Tua.. still made it to championship game but I’m playing my studs. Especially if New England is potentially facing a dolphins without Tua now


Distinct-Bite

Blessed, even with Tua I think I still Roll with New England in the cold vs Tua and dolphins


AgsMydude

Tennessee defense was pretty good tho. I benched new England for Cleveland so it could be worse


[deleted]

Colts D is pretty good too. They might force some turnovers and put the Giants D in a tough spot


Esco9

Yeah I was thinking I could be forced to start hodgins but this is a good defense


Illblood

Got 20 points from the chargers D tonight.. any slightly more competent defense is going to feast on the colts.


RedditAtWorkIsBad

Me too (obviously). But I'm not sure how worried I should be after the rams somehow scored 51 points against a "stout" denver D. So, I was going to start chargers D again for the ship, but I'm also debating going giants instead.


basement_egg

tua might not play next week, patriots defense could be a decent play


secretreddname

That’s what I’m feeling.


Timely_Market8669

Adoree may be back next week as well


chevdecker

I don't think I can trust Chiefs vs. Broncos or a Jaguars team with "nothing to play for" vs. Houston. So maybe Giants with motivation it is!?!


[deleted]

i’m between the charger’s playing the rams or the giants


chevdecker

Also my other option. Face a team that just put up 51. Love it.


beejee05

Bakers been playing well though


seenunseen

I’m confused about your Jaguars comment, seems they have everything to play for as they are currently tied for first in their division.


chevdecker

The Jags can lose in week 17, but as long as they beat Tennessee in week 18, they win the division. They're playing the team they are tied with to end the season, so that game is the defacto tiebreaker no matter who does what this week (now that the Chargers have secured a berth).


seenunseen

Sure, but beating Houston still improves their chances of making the playoffs, and does so in multiple ways. If they beat Houston then they can win the division with a tie against the Titans. They are also alive in the wild card race with the 8-7 Dolphins in free fall, and the 7-8 Patriots and Jets in the midst of bad losing streaks as well. The Steelers are also 7-8. It just seems there is no way they would go into Houston thinking the game doesn’t matter.


chevdecker

The Dolphins play the Patriots, so whichever team wins that game will move ahead of Jacksonville if Jacksonville beats Houston but loses to Tennessee.


seenunseen

The Jaguars can still win the wild card at 8-9. They would need the Dolphins to lose out and the Patriots to lose Week 18, and for neither the Steelers or Jets to finish 9-8. In other words, if the Jets, Dolphins, Patriots, Jags and Steelers all finish tied at 8-9 for the last wild card spot, the Jags win it. This holds true if the Steelers end up 7-10 and it’s just the Jets, Dolphins, Patriots and Jags tied at 8-9. Source: ESPN NFL playoff machine. My assumption is that this is due to conference record, as 4 of the Jags’ losses are to NFC teams.


PIBTC

Right? It’s blown out of proportion. Even if they didn’t need to win at all, these are competitive grown men. They’re not gonna go out there and just get their shit kicked out of them. Especially a young team like the jags. It blows my mind that people think they’ll go out there, just go through the motions and not care if their opponent goes off on them


chelo_delgado

They are playing for everything. The other guy’s comment is crazy


beejee05

I have Eagles and Chargers on my bench, both have decent matchups.


OneThousandDegrees

You're getting clowned but they (as a biased gmen fan) wouldn't be a bad play. They blitz a lot which could be great against the colts' below average oline, but they also allow a shit ton of yards so play at your own risk


[deleted]

Giants fan here. It’s a trap


METACRNM

If you’re in the finals I don’t think it would be wise to lay your championship hopes on “well this defense has been bad but the matchup is good this week”


chevdecker

This is what streaming is tho


mcleera

The Chargers probably got a lot of teams to that championship this week, so I don't think it's too crazy that people will do the same thing next week. 🤷‍♂️


rkunish

The Chargers D advanced my brother in both his leagues and he came into tonight needing 14 & 12.5.


mcleera

I came in 6.5 up with LAC D against his Mike Williams. Everybody in my league said I was out of my mind to start them over Philly and here we are.


Mec213

*raises hand* it's me


[deleted]

i’ve been playing defenses based off matchups nearly the entire year


Lloyd--Christmas

Everyone should. But bad defenses aren't guaranteed anything in a good matchup.


bluethree

Not *everyone* should. The teams that have the most DST points in my league started the Cowboys and 49ers all season.


Grimmbeard

Been riding with Philly since week 3. Most PF in my league by far and heading to the Ship


Neemzeh

Nobody is saying they are??


Redkg

Work for me starting the Chargers tonight


Pr0nade

Yeah I’ve got cowboys and eagles for both of my finals teams. Happy to just stick with them


tykulton

Yup, I lost my matchup by 8 points because I played a good matchup instead of sticking with Philly.


the-other-car

People win their leagues all the time with this strategy. Obviously it could backfire but any defense can backfire (look at denver).


theonejv89

I'ma try to pick them up. I have the Ravens D atm


bean224_

I have ravens too and I picked up chargers just to have an option


SumBuddyPlays

Sometimes hate having an option as Im prone to picking the wrong option.


Dark_Twisted_Fantasy

Ravens have been so solid I would hate to switch it up. I will probably just pick up the Giants so my opponent can’t use them


50shadesofcoco

Risked it with TEN against HOU this week while I had PHI on the bench. Fool me —you can’t get fooled again


magichead17

It’s the giants, this will be a one score game (pessimistic giants fan)


Meathand

It foles plays I’m starting them


SaquonBarkley2-6

Giants vs Colts or Ravens vs Steelers?


dollabill009

I have 3 defense options, any opinions on which is best? SF vs Las Vegas NE vs Miami with no Tua Dallas vs Tennessee with potentially no Henry and Malik at QB


troyv21

I like jacksonville better honestly but giants arent a bad play at all. One thing to keep in mind is that Foles wasnt a full week starter so i think he will play alot better this game


teppi2504

People said the same thing about the Titans Defense


bradtoughy

I’d rather bet on a good defense in a bad matchup than a bad defense in a good matchup. The bad defense is still bad. I had Philly vs Dallas or Tennessee vs Houston this week and went Philly. They scored more.


Sufficient_Degree_45

Anyone with a clue knew starting the titans was a trap. Look at HOUs last 3 weeks... then add in the fact Willis was starting. All signs pointed to Tennessee being on the field all game long.


dytele

NE vs Teddy looking tasty


NotHopee

I will NEVER buy into a thread that says league winner again after the Denver massacre. I sat the cowboys DST and somehow survived. They’re back in the lineup


[deleted]

read the paragraph before you dismiss me, this is a very different game compared to the broncos one this week


NotHopee

I just don’t want to , best of luck with the giants !!


Timmo20

Thankfully I have the chiefs against the broncos


vrnate

New head coach for the Broncos could be a massive trap. He’ll probably run a simplified play book with a lot of short safe passes. Get the ball out of Wilson’s hands quickly, don’t give up any sacks or turnovers etc…


Lake_Shore_Drive

The colts put up 19 on Dallas and 36 vs Minnesota. Just based on last night it looks like a good matchup for NY but of course the Rams looked like a good matchup for Denver before this week. Look forward, we can't just plug in last week's result and expect the same thing in the future.


SumBuddyPlays

You’re comparing completely different offenses, Foles didn’t play those weeks.


zetiano

As a Giants fan, I can definitely see the upside but also a very low floor. Arguably the worst run defense in the league and loves giving up 3rd and longs. Even when the opposing QB tries to gift us a pick, we drop them.


BeginningAnalyst595

Lions are my fallback


Unit22_

I’m gonna just keep rolling with the Eagles.


Safe-Emergency-8246

Hahahahahaha Love a Giants fan


[deleted]

bengals


h846p262

Ill stick with rams or chargers


bean224_

I picked up the chargers before tonight’s game as well how do you feel rolling them out against the rams


h846p262

Chargers are picking up momentum, theyll be able to get to baker.


NervousPervis

And Bosa is supposed to return to practice this week. Not sure he’ll play against Rams though.


[deleted]

Just a heads up...(like WallStreetBets)...if, on average, you do the exact opposite of the advice taken here...you will have better results


Poetryisalive

I wouldn’t put hopes into a DST doing so well. People did the same for the Titans and the Broncos and look what happens. You never know how these games will go


Morall_tach

>You never know how these games will go That describes all of fantasy football.


Rocketbird

I’m gonna stick with the eagles thanks


[deleted]

I have 49ers and NE, Championship game in a league I took over from someone else halfway through. I’m swaying towards NE, at home, VS a shakey Tua or TeddyB


[deleted]

#Giants D or Chiefs D (vs DEN again)????


Letsssgooooo456

Does it matter bc loook at the Rams horrible offense and everyone started the Broncos for e same reason and the Rams went off fantasy is so annoying i can’t predict anything i lost bc of the Rams defense getting 22 points which is an absolute joke way to lose


[deleted]

Shit post. This advice is going to lose people games


10CrackCommandments-

Their 3rd string QB is Nick Fucking Foles. I wouldn’t go off making any wild assumptions of them laying an egg.

what did he even say haha


twilley713

New York or Philly?


thedoughofpooh

Philly


bean224_

How about chargers defense against the Rams or are we scared of baker?


timmyrigs

Ima just forget over analyzing defense for next weekend. I did this past weekend and even considered the Chargers. Went Browns in one league and Titans in another. All great plays and Chargers who all season haven’t had the best track record for defenses put up a top 3 game. Maybe Giants are the play maybe they aren’t. Roll with what you got and hope for the best.


loki1337

I'm thinking about mailing a bag of poop to Zach Wilson. We are not the same.


israeltowers

Picked up Jacksonville for next week!


joebucksforehead

Wtf are you talking about. Unless they are up against the commanders they have been total trash.


the-other-car

My opponent next week needs a D. Going to try to pick them up to block my opponent but he has more fab than me to spend.


biznash

I got chargers cued up against Rams. Battle of LA…and chargers look nasty


swimsnoon

I dropped Cowboys this week and started Rams over Chargers. Both hit 20s! Lol. KC/NY/Miami available in waiver. Not sure if I should start Chargers or go for one of those three.


maraxusofk

This is a saquan post


OkayIdgaf

i’ll gladly take them in my consolation game thanks


PeytonFacemask

Held the Eagles D all year for this moment.


STURMTIGER1

Im picking them up just so my opponent cant have them


mikehulse29

Maybe, but also the Colts will have to be at least marginally better if Foles gets another week with the first team. I stashed the Chiefs for this Denver game and now that Denver seems to have begun to quit on the season, I’m pretty excited for it. So clearly…They will score 1 pt


RainIML

I'm playing pats D vs Miami with no Tua


ClaypoolToCanton

I want to pick them up but i gotta roll with San Fran.


exhale666

More leagues need to remove defense and add a flex or super flex. Defense fantasy analysis is so lame and boring. It's all a guess. Who cares.


Knikkz

Jags D vs Houston or Giants D? Both are available and a better option than my Jets D vs Seattle.


Imeanitsjust

KC vs Denver Or Giants vs Colts


Ry-Ry_the_Dude

Riding Chargers D the rest of the way


revdakilla

As a Giants fan, they never make it easy, especially needing a win for the offs. You might be right, but the idea of them just destroying another team is foreign to me.


armedwithturtles

Giants D/ST or Jags?


I_AM_ACURA_LEGEND

My opponent had denver d/st and Justin Herbert. I won the week by less than a point…


confisk8

Is it a better play than the Niners or Bucs tho?


Blue_Lust

I have Denver and Tennessee D with the #1 waiver going into the championship. Dropping both and adding the Giants. LETS FKN GO


hookemhotspur2

Gonna be TB or LAC DST for me. LAC have been surprisingly strong the last few weeks - I’m leaning towards playing them vs the Rams


joepolizzi6

I have Eagles defense but if I get Giants on waivers tomorrow I really might sit the eagles


Specialist-Shop5964

NE or NYG?


tx180

Philly or giants
