Those are your only choices?

I grabbed The Browns this week off the waiver wire - but after picking the Saints last week (and costing me a win) playing none might be better

Yes, waivers ran last night (no free agent pick-ups). The Eagles (vs STL), Cowboys (vs HOU), Browns (at TEN) all went before my waiver spot came up. I grabbed the Chiefs since they looked good against New England on Monday night, plus they have good matchups in Week 8 & 9 (vs STL & vs WAS).

I dropped the Colts DEF (vs BAL) to pick up the Chiefs.

I realize that both my options aren't great but the rest of my team is stacked so DEF is really my only weekness so I've been trying to play match-ups.

How are the Titans at run D? The Browns have a great running game. If the Titans are bad at defending the run, I would avoid them.

I guess I would go with the Chiefs and hope that Kaepernick has another one of his turnover-prone days.
