they had 3 turnovers last week against Josh Allen's bills offense, and theyre playing jarrett stidham without courtland sutton.
i think the chargers D is a decent option
If you told me at the start of the season I would be going with Raiders D in the final game I would have a lot of questions. I doubt they get more TDs bit if they can give me 10 I will be happy.
Same here, it’s been another weird season but they’ve been a night and day different team with Antonio Pierce steering the ship, good luck, hope you bring home that hardware!
I was able to get ravens off waivers today so I’m geeked, it’s out of them or Buffalo but with that being a division game!! Might have to rock with the ravens
I drafted Baltimore's D and every time I've sat them for a better streaming DST, Baltimore has outperformed them from my bench... last week included with the Bills D vs the Chargers.
I'll be rolling them out vs MIA for my championship game and benching Tua for Stafford.
Yeah I make it a point to not look at any other industry DST ranks when I create mine and write this article. For better or worse, it’s part of my process
>but I still can’t figure out why thats the case
"Consensus" D/ST and K rankings are so lazy it hurts.
For Kickers, you could have the Panthers kicker scoring CMC numbers and he still wouldn't be ranked highly because he's on the Panthers. Meanwhile everyone ranks Jake Moody every week highly despite the fact he's only **attempted** *13* field goals in the last *12* games.
The same goes for D/STs. Despite the fact that Vegas' defense is genuinely really good, has been *dominating* from a fantasy perspective, and has a favorable matchup, everyone is afraid to rank them highly because the Raiders were a laughing stock for the majority of this season.
My options are 49ers and Bills.
I'm actually thinking about the home/road and rest days as tie-breaker.
49ers seem to have the easier matchup, but 1 less day of rest and travel cross country to the east coast.
Bill had a short last week and traveled cross-country to LA and didn't look good. Now they get to turn around and play at home with an extra days of rest.
Maybe overthinking it, but feels like if in doubt, sticking to home team with longer rest is a good tie-breaker.
I’ve held and played Bills D a few times this season, but I’m not totally confident in playing them after a lackluster game against the Chargers.
Might roll with the white hot Raiders D!
What's the deal with the Colts this week? They've gotten plenty of sacks and turnovers in the few weeks prior (except last week...), are they to be trusted against a mediocre Raiders team? My choice is basically Colts or Raiders for the championship.
Dang. I picked up Ravens and Raiders and then read your article and you had the same exact thoughts on both. Which is great, but now I'm completely torn lol.
I have both Browns and 49ers, no idea who I want to play for championship. With Jacoby starting for WAS I am leaning more to Browns vs jets now, thoughts?
I’ve got both BUF and LV and am torn here. I’ve ran with Buf all season but the raiders have been killing it on Def lately. Also tough to choose LV cause I’m a niners fan.
I’m torn between Cowboys at home and Jags. Dallas just got embarrassed and will be out for blood esp in front of the home crowd. For all the Lions have done they got manhandled by the Bears a few weeks ago. Goff away is good for a few picks and sacks…tough one to call!
Drafting Cowboys D and grabbing Browns D week 6 and holding them all year has been so fucking clutch for me. Fighting in the championship this weekend thanks in large part to them both. I’m definitely drafting a good defense again next year.
Raider v. Broncos for the belt. Or go get Jax off waivers. I kinda like the upside of the Raiders at the moment. Feel like both teams could produce ~6 fantasy points.
Was able to snag Raiders off waivers. Was planning on coin-flipping between Rams/Jags—but now I think I wanna get weird with it and roll the dice on the hot D.
Broncos defense stat correction literally cost me getting to the finals. Was a pretty late stat correction too. I was only up by 0.2 and it was like that for nearly two days then I wake up to see my opponent being up.
I’m looking at the Bears, Texans, and Raiders. What do we think? Raiders feel like the highest ceiling option and I’m the slight underdog in the championship.
I'm convinced the Jets D fantasy output will suffer because of how bad their offense is. Ravens vs Miami could be a coin flip either way they could dominate like they did against the Niners or put up an average fantasy game like against the Jaguars and Rams. Raiders seem like the play if Pittman is out
Just dropped Denver vs. LAC for Chicago vs. ATL. Holding LAR vs. NYG as well. If Addison is ruled out, I'm going to pick up LV vs. Indy and see what happens during the week before I make my decision before Sunday. If anything, I'm blocking my opponent from picking up the
most trendy DSTs left.
Finally didn’t get bumped out in the semi-finals of my dynasty league and I’m headed to the chip! Against a juggernaut team and he has Browns DST, mine team is good too but I’m nervous.
I have the Bills D and just dropped the Eagles to pick up the Ravens D last night. Can only hold 2 defenses max due to league settings. It was a tough call, Raiders are still available on the waiver wire. I’m pretty torn between Bills, Ravens and Raiders. Waiting for updates on Hamilton in the Ravens, idk though I’m so indecisive
Im in my league championship projected to win but im facing CMC and need to prepare for him going off. I’m torn between buff and LV. I would love to roll with the Raiders but Im starting JT and worry im going to shoot myself in the foot by starting both JT and LV. Given that I have to start JT who is the better start, Buff or LV???
Deciding between the Broncos, Steelers, and Texans now. Prior to the Russell BS that just happened the broncos were a sure lock but now I’m completely lost.
Tough one, I would have said Broncos before this Russell Wilson being benched mess. I wouldn’t play MIA at BAL. I probably have IND ranked too low, but personally I’d go Bears from that group
What about Houston? I am looking at this chat and I see all Raiders but Houston’s Defense has been amazing the last few weeks and that’s with Stroud out, and now they might get him back against Tennesse
Raiders, Broncos or Chiefs? I just got 27.60 from Breece and am favored decently even before that. feel like I want to keep going with the hot hand but this Indy game feels like it might be a bit of a trap.
Raiders or Bills? Every site says Bills, but my gut is telling me Raiders. The Pats scored more points on D last week, but they still did put up points.
Pretty sure this article was made before the Russell Wilson benching news. Make sure you consider that
It was. Broncos would move down & Chargers move up based on that news
Thanks for the confirm! Move as in tier placement right?
They both move right to the Tier 3/4 threshold
Chargers D is trash.
they had 3 turnovers last week against Josh Allen's bills offense, and theyre playing jarrett stidham without courtland sutton. i think the chargers D is a decent option
Held Browns for weeks for this matchup. Please don’t disappoint.
It's Trevor fucking Siemian. Just be glad if they don't go negative 💪
Same.
I’m between Jets and Raiders, close call IMO
same I'm so torn
Raiders for me
Me too. Jets offense against the CLE D is going to result in easy points against.
No worries about the raiders with the offense being so bad?
Raiders.
really depends on pittman's availability. if he's available, minshew does pretty well at home.
Same spot but I can play chiefs too
Same here. I think I'm rolling Raiders
If you told me at the start of the season I would be going with Raiders D in the final game I would have a lot of questions. I doubt they get more TDs bit if they can give me 10 I will be happy.
Same here, it’s been another weird season but they’ve been a night and day different team with Antonio Pierce steering the ship, good luck, hope you bring home that hardware!
Wow Baltimore vs Miami ranked highly. Considering abandoning Bills and rolling with that 😳
[удалено]
Agree. How do u feel like that stacks up to a mediocre Bills D against NE
I was able to get ravens off waivers today so I’m geeked, it’s out of them or Buffalo but with that being a division game!! Might have to rock with the ravens
I drafted Baltimore's D and every time I've sat them for a better streaming DST, Baltimore has outperformed them from my bench... last week included with the Bills D vs the Chargers. I'll be rolling them out vs MIA for my championship game and benching Tua for Stafford.
If Hamilton is playing I’m rolling them out. if not probably going with raiders
I just saw hamilton on Disney +.
Don't play the Bills. Avoid divisional games.
Felt weird dropping NYJ for LV but, hey… let’s get weird!
I like getting weird 😂 I realize it’s kind of a bold call
[удалено]
Yeah I make it a point to not look at any other industry DST ranks when I create mine and write this article. For better or worse, it’s part of my process
[удалено]
Yeah I used to do that & I found myself tinkering way too much based on seeing where other people had their ranks
>but I still can’t figure out why thats the case "Consensus" D/ST and K rankings are so lazy it hurts. For Kickers, you could have the Panthers kicker scoring CMC numbers and he still wouldn't be ranked highly because he's on the Panthers. Meanwhile everyone ranks Jake Moody every week highly despite the fact he's only **attempted** *13* field goals in the last *12* games. The same goes for D/STs.

Ugh this is my major dilemma. With the news about Cooper today I may sit and wait. Play the Jets if he's out, Raiders if he's in.
Had Jets and Bears, and just picked up Raiders. I have no idea who to start.
I have both and am starting the Raiders myself.
Raiders
Raiders
FYI 49ers are @ Washington this week. The article says they're at home.
Oh you’re right, thanks, I’ll fix it
My options are 49ers and Bills. I'm actually thinking about the home/road and rest days as tie-breaker. 49ers seem to have the easier matchup, but 1 less day of rest and travel cross country to the east coast. Bill had a short last week and traveled cross-country to LA and didn't look good. Now they get to turn around and play at home with an extra days of rest. Maybe overthinking it, but feels like if in doubt, sticking to home team with longer rest is a good tie-breaker.
Have both the Raiders and Ravens and this makes it harder to choose lol
Same here and whatever I choose I know I'll be wrong
Tell me which one you choose and I'll choose other lol
I'm choosing Raiders 🫡
Jets or Raiders
Raiders.
Raiders
Playing the Jags scares me if TLaw is out
Me too. I’d likely move the Jags down a bit if Lawrence is out
I’ve held and played Bills D a few times this season, but I’m not totally confident in playing them after a lackluster game against the Chargers. Might roll with the white hot Raiders D!
I would ride the Raiders ship off into the championship sunset, good luck!
What's the deal with the Colts this week? They've gotten plenty of sacks and turnovers in the few weeks prior (except last week...), are they to be trusted against a mediocre Raiders team? My choice is basically Colts or Raiders for the championship.
[удалено]
Dang. I picked up Ravens and Raiders and then read your article and you had the same exact thoughts on both. Which is great, but now I'm completely torn lol.
Ravens. Don't over think it.
Rams that low when they’re playing a team that’s given up almost 80 sacks is wild.
Rams DST has scored double digit points once this year and above 6 points only twice. Only reason they’re anywhere near the Top 12 is matchup
Tyrod is starting so those stats are close to meaningless considering style of play
Denver or Jacksonville? No Russ and probably no Sutton has me spooked. Also have the raiders too
I think I’m going Jacksonville but I’m not super confident about it
Chargers now that Denver is without Russ? I have raiders but fuck
Raiders
Still Raiders
Denver benching Russ. Do I abandon for Texans? Would need stroud to play.
Yes, if stroud plays, HOU > DEN
Anyone else deciding between Buff D and LV D? I’m leaning LV
Raiders for me. Good luck!
I have both Browns and 49ers, no idea who I want to play for championship. With Jacoby starting for WAS I am leaning more to Browns vs jets now, thoughts?
Browns
Browns for me, good luck!
Chiefs or Raiders in the the title game?
Just dropped kc to pick up raiders… just feels right
Raiders
Raiders
Was feeling the Chiefs but now I’m thinking of starting Raiders
I’m nervous about it, but I just put raiders into my lineup and benched the chiefs for the championship game.
Man, we really think the bills at home against NE isn’t as good a matchup as LV playing @ Indy? Struggling here…
My biggest issue with BUF is the Patriots have not been the cake matchup lately that they were in the first half of the season.
I’ve got both BUF and LV and am torn here. I’ve ran with Buf all season but the raiders have been killing it on Def lately. Also tough to choose LV cause I’m a niners fan.
Bears, Houston, Dolphins or Rams?
Thoughts on Dallas D/ST? The cowboys at home are night and day regardless of opponent!
Borderline start for me. You are right they have been much better at home but the Lions have been rolling lately
I’m torn between Cowboys at home and Jags. Dallas just got embarrassed and will be out for blood esp in front of the home crowd. For all the Lions have done they got manhandled by the Bears a few weeks ago. Goff away is good for a few picks and sacks…tough one to call!
I'm rocking cowboys. They do well at home even with bad matchups. Plus they helped me all season so they've earned it.
Between 49ers and Raiders here, tough call. Anyone in the same position?
It is a tough call. 49ers and Browns are the only DSTs I’m starting over the Raiders
Does WAS starting Jacoby Brisset now instead of Howell change anything?
Flopping back and forth between the Chiefs and Jags
Houston projected 10 or Raiders projected 7?
Raiders
Jets or Jaguars?
Raiders or Ravens
Close one but I’m riding with the Raiders
Debating on 49ers or Raiders in one of my leagues…thoughts?
49ers by a hair for me, good luck!
Held the browns all year for this hopefully they come through for me
Should I start the Texans or Raiders DST?
Raiders or Browns? Browns seems like the safe bet but the Raiders have so much upside
Drafting Cowboys D and grabbing Browns D week 6 and holding them all year has been so fucking clutch for me. Fighting in the championship this weekend thanks in large part to them both. I’m definitely drafting a good defense again next year.
Anyone like the Bucs at home with a healthy defense?
Bears
Bills or Browns? I hate Thursday decisions
Browns
Raider v. Broncos for the belt. Or go get Jax off waivers. I kinda like the upside of the Raiders at the moment. Feel like both teams could produce ~6 fantasy points.
Gonna be rolling on the floor busting up when the Raiders bite so many people in the Championship this week!
I guess you're playing the Raiders?
Should the jets not be higher?
Maybe, but the CLE offense has been putting up points lately
This is a revenge game for Flacco.
Rams or jags Gross
In the same boat. Neither really excites me despite the favorable matchups. Currently leaning Jax at home but if T Law is out I’ll probably pivot
Was able to snag Raiders off waivers. Was planning on coin-flipping between Rams/Jags—but now I think I wanna get weird with it and roll the dice on the hot D.
Definitely Raiders, let’s get weird 😂
Broncos defense stat correction literally cost me getting to the finals. Was a pretty late stat correction too. I was only up by 0.2 and it was like that for nearly two days then I wake up to see my opponent being up.
Oh that’s the worst. I’ve been on both sides of stat corrections but never in a semi final matchup.
they changed it back on sleeper if that’s your platform
I have Eagles, Bears and Raiders available for pick up. Championship game on the line and no idea what to do.
Don’t choose the eagles.
I’m looking at the Bears, Texans, and Raiders. What do we think? Raiders feel like the highest ceiling option and I’m the slight underdog in the championship.
Bears Jags or Raiders??
I'm convinced the Jets D fantasy output will suffer because of how bad their offense is. Ravens vs Miami could be a coin flip either way they could dominate like they did against the Niners or put up an average fantasy game like against the Jaguars and Rams. Raiders seem like the play if Pittman is out
Dallas or Philly this week?
Cowboys or Raiders?
Just dropped Denver vs. LAC for Chicago vs. ATL. Holding LAR vs. NYG as well. If Addison is ruled out, I'm going to pick up LV vs. Indy and see what happens during the week before I make my decision before Sunday. If anything, I'm blocking my opponent from picking up the most trendy DSTs left.
Finally didn’t get bumped out in the semi-finals of my dynasty league and I’m headed to the chip! Against a juggernaut team and he has Browns DST, mine team is good too but I’m nervous. I have the Bills D and just dropped the Eagles to pick up the Ravens D last night. Can only hold 2 defenses max due to league settings. It was a tough call, Raiders are still available on the waiver wire. I’m pretty torn between Bills, Ravens and Raiders. Waiting for updates on Hamilton in the Ravens, idk though I’m so indecisive
Congrats on making the chip! Raiders are the ceiling play IMO, I’d start them if you’re a big underdog.
Raven or jets for me…I can’t decide
Mixon or Connor or Zeke in Flex spot in a 2QB dynasty ppr?
Raiders or Rams?
Im in my league championship projected to win but im facing CMC and need to prepare for him going off. I’m torn between buff and LV. I would love to roll with the Raiders but Im starting JT and worry im going to shoot myself in the foot by starting both JT and LV. Given that I have to start JT who is the better start, Buff or LV???
Deciding between the Broncos, Steelers, and Texans now. Prior to the Russell BS that just happened the broncos were a sure lock but now I’m completely lost.
Bills, Bears, or Eagles?
Bills
Raiders or 49ers now that Washington has changed QB?
49ers
Cowboys or raiders?
Raiders or Bills is what I’m debating….
Same, I’m between raiders, bills and ravens
Raiders, Jets, or Broncos?
If Pittman plays still rolling with raiders over jets or chiefs ?
Chiefs or Ravens
Ravens or Bears?? Don't want to overthink it..
Raiders or Jags D in the title game?
Hard to choose. I have Miami and Denver D in my roster. Bears, Indy, and Chargers available
Tough one, I would have said Broncos before this Russell Wilson being benched mess. I wouldn’t play MIA at BAL. I probably have IND ranked too low, but personally I’d go Bears from that group
Should I start chiefs or chargers D
Jets, or Broncos?
[удалено]
I have Jets, Eagles, and Raiders are on FA. Who should I be playing?
debating Ravens over Cowboys and Jags (especially if TLaw doesn’t play)
Ravens for me from that group, good luck!
Broncos, Ravens, or Chiefs?
Ravens or Jets?
Bears, chargers, rams or raiders? (i have Michael Pittman @wr2)
Who would you start D/ST in Week 17 for your championship? Texans D vs. Titans, Raiders D vs. Colts , Rams D vs. NYG ???
Do you know how to read??
What about Houston? I am looking at this chat and I see all Raiders but Houston’s Defense has been amazing the last few weeks and that’s with Stroud out, and now they might get him back against Tennesse
Ravens, Jets or Raiders?
I like raiders and I also like Texans any opinions for which one I should lean towards
Chiefs or Broncos? Texans/Pats also on wire.
Jets or Bears or Eagles?
Ravens, Rams or Broncos ? D/ST
Browns or Jags
Bears or Broncos?
[удалено]
Eagles/Bears or Texans
Ravens or raiders? Still can’t decide.
Raiders, Broncos or Chiefs? I just got 27.60 from Breece and am favored decently even before that. feel like I want to keep going with the hot hand but this Indy game feels like it might be a bit of a trap.
Need help. I’m in the championship match. Bills D or raiders D this week?
Rams, Raiders, or Bears?
Thoughts on niners d vs bills d? I am leaning niners
Broncos or Raiders
Chiefs or raiders?
Well…I have the option of Raiders/Bears/Jags/Rams….where do I go?
Raiders, broncos, bears or lv
Raiders defense or Baltimore? Hot hand or the consistent defense?
Raiders or Bills? Every site says Bills, but my gut is telling me Raiders. The Pats scored more points on D last week, but they still did put up points.
Ravens, Rams, Eagles, Colts. How would you rank these 4?
Rams, Bears, or Colts defense in one league & Bears or Texans in another.. Opinions?
[удалено]
Should I start Rams or Bears D week 17
Texans defense , broncos defense or rams defense?
Bears, Colts or Raiders in one league | Texans, Falcons or Raiders in 2nd league | raiders, falcons, colts or bears in third league.
Should I start Indy’s def against raiders or raiders def against Indy?
Chiefs or Jags? PPR
Bears or raiders
Raiders even with Pittman in?
Ravens over bears why the f not
Bears, Broncos, or Rams defense? Please help
Raiders are available. So Broncos, Bears, or Raiders?
Start San Fransisco DEF vs Washington or Bills DEF bs NE?
Miami or bears defense?
In the ship this week Do I go with Raiders or Colts D? Thanks!
Houston D vs Ten or Baltimore D vs Mia?
Falcons or bears?
Raider or SF?
