Jackass Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I do a fair amount of schedule analysis so am wondering who everyone thinks will be the toughest D's to play against this year (rather than best D's from a fantasy perspective). Here are the teams that come to mind: SF Pitt Balty Jets Seattle Chicago Houston Also any ideas on teams that might be off the radar? maybe Cincy or Buffalo?

aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thoughts on Detroit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Was thinking lions also. Who'd be the better play? Jets or lions? I'm thinking jets may slow down late in the year w that crap offense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Jet's O is so bad , that the D will be on the field 75% of the game. Detroit O can score and pressure you to score, this resulting in more picks if you aren't up for the shootout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joebirds55 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 So who would you go with week 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not that far down the road....I'm still trying to decide which one to draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby's Hubby Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like Cincy and Houston Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I almost took Houston, but believe they'll be there next round. Took Osweiler instead, dynasty league. Many top Ds are still on board, so I should be OK when it swings back around unless a run occurs...which likely will since my next turn is coming, everyone knows I need a D and will try to feck me even though they have 3-5 more picks. Argh, glad I thought of this now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I like Seahawks d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Seems no true standouts this year like in past. More options to get a solid D than in past when Steelers, Balt, Chi, etc were guarantees every year. Those are still strong, but more teams have 'caught up' due to aging. Steelers are doing a good job replacing guys for instance, but there will be a mini-dip while the new DL learns the full ropes. So some teams have made a move.

White lightning Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 If you're looking for a Def that you can get in rd 16 I like Buffalo based on their improved DL and schedule (NYJ, Clev, Ariz, Ind, Jax) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeohiostate Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) The Iggles will in my mind no doubt be the highest scoring defense , they'll give up points but they're gonna make a lot of plays Edited August 30, 2012 by theeohiostate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Knew it. 2 defenses have been taken after I picked, including Houston, which I kinda liked. Though not substantially more than several others. Now the next 3 will be spooked into taking D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt770 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Falcons, on account of I drafted them late. This may be one of them DEFBC seasons for me. Sometimes I'd throw a mid round pick at a D, but more often than not it seems like the projections could be made with a dart board. I wasn't willing to spend much for a defense this year.

aggiebones Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have choice of Det, Buff, Sea, Balt, Jets Leaning towards Det, but also like Buff and often fall back on Balt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I know the huddle cheat sheet listed GB as their #1 and I wasn't buying it until I heard John Clayton point out that they play the NFC west this year and will be seeing 5 teams with rookie QBs. Grant it, they have NO at home and Detroit twice. The Giants...meh. Chicago has to prove Cutler can run this offense. If Minnesota doesn't strike a running game with AP, then Ponder doesn't exactly send shivers down my spine. If Rodgers & co can keep the defense of the field....I'll drink the cool aid.

Joose Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Defense with the most turnovers will be the Packers. The Defense with the least yards/points against will he Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Houston, and to a slightly lesser extent, Buffalo. I also like Atlanta and Seattle if you can play matchups (and mainly play them when they're at home). I'm finding that, this year, I'm tending to draft two defenses in most leagues, to give myself options... I'm not sure there are any/many defenses out there that I'd be comfortable with, each and every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazinib1 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Defense with the most turnovers will be the Packers. The Defense with the least yards/points against will be San Fransisco. Fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5volcano Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Which will be better, do you guys reckon 49ers or Texans? Really tempted to drop the lesser one for the Packers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
