Savage Beatings Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 In a lot of leagues right now the KC Chiefs team Defense is probably scoring right around the middle of the pack and should be available on a lot of Waiver Wires. Check out their schedule for the rest of the season: Week 10: @MIA Week 11: v.OAK Week 12: v.DEN Week 13: @CLE Week 14: v.BAL Week 15: @SDC Week 16: @OAK (most FF Championships play this week) Now, wouldn't you want your team to have the Chiefs Defense going against the Raiders Offense during your Championship game? I know I would. Not to mention some other matchups (including the Raiders again in week 11) that could yield some great defensive potential.

NAUgrad Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) I agree with you about the Oakland matchup, but my experience this year is that KC is a much different team at home vs. on the road. Home games they seem to step it up a notch and away games they seem to struggle. They've been a frustrating defense for me this year. Which is why I dropped them!

They might not be an every week play, but if you've got the roster space, they are worth stashing away for those money matchups IMHO.

Exactly what I have done and for good reason...it has also worked out very well for me thus far. Call me a homer...but I see great things ahead for this defense.

sunysteelfly76 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I am. I picked them up last week just so I could get those two games vs. Oakland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugar Magnolia Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I am. I picked them up last week just so I could get those two games vs. Oakland. They are my starting D in all four leagues this week. I'm actually hoping Aaron Brooks starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Anyone else on board? Thought it was a sneaky play for the MVP Challenge this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolv Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 The SD game is a horrible matchup for those looking to get into their FF Superbowl though. If the D you currently have is average, go for it. But I wouldn't ditch a Top 10 D for this strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcher Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Have SD defense and picked up Chiefs thinking just for week !0, because I was concerned about Chargers vs Bengals. Turned out to be the right play, Now I'm going to ride it out with both playing the match ups. Chargers have Raiders on week 12! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyBalata Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Anyone else on board? meh...you're a little slow, I dumped Carolina and picked the Chiefs D up a couple weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I like the Raiders D against them this week if you need a flier D... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstCoachingEver Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I like the Raiders D against them this week if you need a flier D... Are you crazy? Raiders AT Chiefs AFTER the Chiefs lost to the Dolphins? You know LJ and the KC offense is going to roll after last week's peformance.

Hat Trick Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 IIRC the chiefs have won the last 6 in a row against them and that the average margin of victory is 7pts or less. Chiefs D is a VERY good play this week. Raiders D....well that one's tough to call...but I can say the Chiefs have absolutely played 110% better at home.

kingfish247 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Anyone else on board? +1 i ditched the Falcons due to their injuries and their abysmal schedule down the stretch. I also added the Jets... same thing with KC. they're coming on late in the season and has some pretty nice matchups for the FF playoffs. they aren't D juggernauts but when the matchup is right they should be able put up pretty good FF numbers.

WorstCoachingEver Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 But a rusty TrINT Green comes back to face a very solid Oakland secondary. Nothing crazy about that. BTW, Oakland pass defense statistics are skewed. Oakland's opponents are always playing with the lead and are just grinding the ball on the ground (Rush D = 26. Pass D = 3). And don't bring up last week against Denver. It's Jake Plummer for chistsake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trots Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 My opponent is playing KC D against me - that should all but guarantee a shutout and several defensive TDs. I have not been this sure of something since I predicted that SEA would shut out OAK on Monday Nite football to give me a 5 point loss.

Wind Dancer Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I picked them up for that reason....5 final week's schedule.....and they can replace Atlanta...my number 2 defense.....Da Bears are my number one defense......and they have some different matchups coming up...... Good luck to all of the Huddlers... . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstCoachingEver Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Atlanta...my number 2 defense..... Nice. That will help you against the TB and WAS matchups. Talk about QB disasters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Isn't waters still hurt for KC and Gonzales being hurt takes away another wideout... Green also takes alot of time to get into a rhythm.....he's notorious for slow starts... I like the Raiders D...even for just this week...

Will you still like them when Dante returns a kick for a score and LJ runs for 200 yards and 2 TD's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RokoMotion Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Who's a better play this week? JAX D vs NYG or the Chiefs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ is missing Waters and Gonzo when it comes to blocking and they run some 2TE sets, I believe...so this alters the gameplan some...plus you have your vet QB returning, who wasn't exactly lighting it up to begin with.... I think Oakland can be a very solid sleeper play in a likely low-scoring game... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
