Seems like there are two seasons. Weeks 1-16, then week 17 which is a totally different animal!
Me for example. My backbone all year has been Brady and Gronk, as well as the Pats D (most weeks). So it looks like the Pats now have nothing to play for, so do they sit Brady and Gronk?
I've got Matt Ryan and Julio Jones as well, going up against the Saints who have one of the worst D's out there. If I start them both I might torch my opponent. Then again if the Saints show up on D it could backfire!
And picking a defense changes, you have to look at who the other team will rest. For example I normally wouldn't choose a D facing the Panthers, but if Cam/Olsen are going rest it could be a big day for the D.
