  • which defense for the playoffs?

    I have quite a conundrum. I only have $1 left for FAAB. We do not have $0 bids. And I have the Cowboys defense, who looked horrible last week. I am trying to decide if I should spend my last dollar to upgrade them. Do any of these look like they're big enough upgrades?

    Dallas: @CIN in week 14, vs PIT in week 15, vs NO in week 16
    -----
    Packers: vs DET, @CHI, vs TEN
    Rams: @BUF, vs MIN, @TB
    Chargers: @PIT, vs CAR, @NYJ
    Browns: vs KC, vs WSH, @DEN
    Colts: vs TEN, @HOU, @KC

    We don't have negative points, so I don't HAVE to make a move. Here's the basic scoring:

    6 for a TD (including special teams)
    2 for a fumble recovery
    2 for an INT
    1 for a sack

    0 - 6 PA = 8 points
    7 - 13 PA = 6 points
    14 - 20 PA = 4 points
    21 - 27 PA = 2 points

    0 - 49 YDSs = 12 points
    50 - 99 YDSs = 10 points
    100 - 149 YDSs = 8 points
    150 - 199 YDSs = 6 points
    200 - 249 YDSs = 4 points
    250 - 299 YDSs = 2 points

    I'd probably be dropping the Cowboys since none of their matchups are particularly good. But if I wanted the Colts and wanted to avoid their week 15 matchup @HOU, I could keep the Cowgirls and drop Brandon Lafell.

    I do not have a backup QB, so if Peyton gets hurt, I am toast, but would I really be winning anyway if I had to start Ryan Fitzpatrick in the playoffs?

    My team is slightly favored to win this week, so I could always postpone the decision a week and hope that a few points on D doesn't kill me. Here's what I have:

    Me / Opponent
    QB P Manning / Stafford
    RB Forte / D Martin
    RB Spiller / Bilal Powell
    WR V Cruz / Greg Jennings
    WR Nicks / Antonio Brown
    TE Graham / Tony Gonzalez
    FLEX Brandon Myers (or Danario or Knowshon or V Ballard or TY Hilton) / Crabtree
    K Dan Bailey / Suisham
    DEF Cowgirls / either MIA @ SF or NE vs HOU

    I like STL & SD both better than DAL. They both have 2 good match ups out of 3 weeks.
    14 Team 1/2PPR league (1 Keeper)

    QB: Rivers (3), Stafford (5), Keenum (NA)
    RB: Kamara (11), McKinnon (7), Bernard (7)
    WR: M. Thomas (NA), Crabtree (1), Shepard (8), Wallace (NA), Cobb (NA)
    TE: Olsen (NA)
    K: Lutz (7)
    DEF: JAX (7)

    (We start 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 TE, 1 K and 1 DEF)

      Agree with Jason.

        I think you go with the Rams who have the best first 2 games. Hopefully they can get you to the championship and then face a tough O as oppose to some of the others who have good offenses early in the fantasy playoffs.
