abishagenaden Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Chiefs are on a bye this week, followed by a scary sequence of @Den, SD, Den from weeks 11-13. Weeks 14 and 15 look decent, with @Was and @Oak. Week 16 could be better, when they go up against Ind. Would be great to hold on to them but there are some other tempting FA options out there right now. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJV Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) I know it sounds strange to say this about a D, but never bench you're studs. KC has scored over 20 points in 6 of 9 games. They have scored less than 10 in only 1 of 9 games. Don't over think this, start KC. Edited November 6, 2013 by RJV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpayers Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'd hold em. KC Def has proven it's worth. In reality, this is just a bye for a valuable player. It's roster management 101: have a plan B for your best players and make room for a fill-in. Drop your least valuable guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rattsass Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 A few things here. First, the Chiefs are the only team to hold Manning to 17 points since he joined the Broncos - that was obviously last year. Secondly - these divisional games that scare you so much are generally tighter played with the teams knowing each other better than non-divisionals. Granted, it would seem the Chiefs will have far fewer opportunities for points facing these quality opponents, but I really can't imagine pulling them from my lineup - let alone trading them to an opponent. I think you are over-thinking. Maybe they will slow their pace. maybe they won't, but who the hell is going to be better? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rileyrott Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 If I saw the Chiefs D/ST on the WW, I'd pick them up in a NY minute........and I'm a Broncos fan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gundo Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I'm going to disagree. Looking at KC's schedule, they haven't really played anyone, besides maybe DAL, who is a good team this season. And most of the teams they have played, make a lot of mistakes. Their value has been capitalizing on those mistakes, and DEN makes very few. Just because they won't put up 40+ doesn't make them an automatic start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koralkillers Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I own KC D in all 3 of my leagues and they have been awesome...but they have gone up against 5 consecutive back up QB's which has really helped and there schedule is not great going forward...I wont drop them but made a strong effort to pick up back up Defenses well ahead of there bye this week and will play matchups going forward...Picked up Titans,Dolphins and Panthers as back ups and they all have fantasy defense friendly matchups rest of season...

zdjohnson55 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I am in the same situation. I feel like trading KC Def is not a terrible option, but what value do you think I could get for them in a straight up trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron677 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 No way in hell I trade (let alone drop - what the hell are you thinking here?!!!) KC defense. They have won at least 4 matchups for me this year scoring over 20 points where if they had scored much less I would've lost. They're a savior for my team and they score over 20 points so many times. They're the Jimmy Graham of defenses. I'll keep em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) Not sure I'd be starting them against Denver, no matter how good they have been. So thats 3 out of the next 4 weeks that you're benching them (if you include the bye this week) - thats a big hole burning up your bench. Id at least be willing to hear offers for them. EDIT: I guess the question about what their value is against Denver comes down to how heavily your defense scoring rules depend on points allowed. There are a huge variety of defensive scoring formats out there. But if that's the huge driver, no way I start them against Peyton & Co Edited November 6, 2013 by nelsosi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 picked up 1 back up D per league.... I thought the same thing as rattsass when I read your post, then re-read and realized you probably meant one D per league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would consider trading them for would be two open-minded blonde Playboy bunnies and a life time supply of Coors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heehawks Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I offered Cecil Shorts and Zac Stacy for KC D in my long time local. Buddy scoffed at me, but that was a few weeks ago. Bet he would make that trade now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Don't overthink...the Chiefs WILL have a couple let down games, but you have to run with your studs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelsosi Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 (edited) Generally I agree with the "go with your studs" mantra, but I'm not sure that applies to a DEF. Scoring for a DEF is more dependent on opponent than any other fantasy position. To blindly ignore the fact that they play the highest scoring offensive team this season (and potentially in league history) twice in the next 3 games is silly IMO.
