Here are my top 10 defenses for Week 16. Feel free to discuss. I've got Denver in my line up, but really wondering if they are going to flop. Both Indy and Chi have been putting up good numbers lately and have good match ups. Anyone going that route? I'm tempted to move them up.

1 Buffalo Bills @ Chargers
2 Denver Broncos vs. Patriots
3 Philadelphia Eagles vs. Giants
4 New York Jets vs. Washington
5 Indianapolis Colts @ Atlanta
6 Cleveland Browns @ Texans (if Stroud Sits)
7 Green Bay Packers @ Panthers
8 Chicago Bears vs. Cardinals [Edit: looks like Chi should be higher]
9 Kansas City Chiefs vs. Raiders
10 Cincinnati Bengals @ Steelers

Next two weeks... Houston or Indy DST? With Stroud out this week, i'm not starting Houston but week after against Ten is tasty.

Den and Chi are available for pick up.

for this week I like the Eagles and Browns the best

probably the Bills next (assuming Keenan is out)

Chicago should be 2 or 3 on that list. Double digit points last five games playing a bad offense.

I like Indy better than Hou. Like Carlo said, take a look at CHI also. They play ARZ the ATL. Both at home.

Singletary v CLE or Hubbard v GB?

.5 PPR

Need to pick a D
Indy
Houston
Cleveland

I'm trying to decide between jets def or eagles def

Hard to sit CLE

I've been riding the Ravens D/ST all season, but with San Fran and Miami matchups to close out the season is there any reason to hang onto them? I also have the Colts and want to grab the Bears D, and our stupid league rules are set to a max of 2 D/STs on your roster..

I'm sitting (and holding) the 49ers defense this week

dropped the Baltimore D/ST and Cowboys D/ST

Zach Wilson not expected to play

that really sinks Garrett Wilson

would like to bench him, but tough to find a better option in a 3 WR start league

and then Ekeler...

don't know if the Chargers have mailed it completely or not. Rough matchup vs. the Bills defense.

Matthew Berry has him as RB20 this week

behind the likes of Achane, Aaron Jones, and Chuba

Bijan is his RB21

I've broken my cardinal rule of rostering two defenses this week. Been rolling with CLE for a while now but was able to drop Keaton Mitchell and grab BUF off waivers. My plan is if Stroud plays start BUF and if he doesn't CLE is a hammer matchup with against Keenum. Idk if it's been mentioned already but stroud was dnp at practice today has to get to full participation by Sunday to clear concussion protocol. If he goes DNP tomorrow I'd say it's more likely than not he doesn't play.

Denver D in both leagues

snow is in the forecast for Denver Sunday night

Superflex pick one, sacks are -2
Kyler Murray
Bijan Robinson
Ty Chandler if mattison is out

rolling with Cleveland

definitely Chandler if Mattison is out

I didn't realize that Bijan is still just 21 years old. He may have hit the wall in his rookie season. Lots of wear and tear from his college days

I need two RBs Jahmyr Gibbs Breece Hall Devon Achane Aaron Jones and Tyjae Spears PPR scoring

Elliot or Najee Harris? 1/2 ppr. Somehow I've made it to the semi's but idk what to do here. Leaning towards Elliot and hoping he gets a td or two.

Am I crazy benching Mr. Taylor Swift for McBride?

I picked up McBride early, but dropped after Swifty's bye week. Kicking myself on that, now I have to play against him in the playoffs. If I still had him, I probably would, he has been great. Swifty probably has a higher floor, and is at home. Would take stones to bench Swifty though.

Honestly I would at this point I also think the weather in Denver is going to be pretty bad

I'd keep him in. After the past couple of weeks, ya gotta think they're going to go overboard to get "back" to their old selves. I hear Patrick is PIIIIIISSED!


Like benching Toney for starters.

This is wild -- two weeks ago, the Buffalo D (who's been my main defense all season) was projected 24th in Week 16, and someone else dropped the Denver D, so I picked them up then to be ready for week 16, where Denver was projected 3rd.

Then Justin Herbert got hurt and the Raiders absolutely demolished the Chargers, and Yahoo is now projecting Buffalo @LAC as the 3rd best defense (behind Den & KC). The only thing giving me pause is that the Chargers did still put up 21 points (mostly in garbage time)...

Denver vs. NE was gonna be the easy play, but Buffalo is looking good as the Chargers are in disarray, and the Patriots are playing better with Zappe. Also Denver stunk it up last week at Detroit.

I also have the Indy defense too (@Atlanta, who's also just made a QB change). Hopefully they all play well and there's no wrong answer, but this could potentially make or break me.

it seems unusual that there are so many good D/ST streaming options for the fantasy semi-finals

just about guaranteed that 2 or 3 of them will go off

I have BUF D/ST, but IND & CHI are sitting out there … considering throwing one in bench?

I would, Chicago is my pick. I was debating making some moves, my leagues just made a bunch of moves on defenses. Both Indy and ChI picked up. Looks like I'm rolling with Den/Phi in one league and Chi in the other. I'm kind of regretting not dropping PHI for Chi, in case Den is terrible week 16. These streaming defenses are crazy, but at least I can stop looking at it.

The only Thursday decision I have for my semi-final is Olave, who was out last week and sucked the week before, and carr has struggled to get the ball to him all season. PPR: wr2, flex, or bench for Olave? My other options are:

Rashee Rice v LV
DHop v SEA
Achane v DAL
Flowers @ SF
Mattison/Chandler v DET

I'm leaning rice at wr2 and Olave at flex, but I don't like wasting flex on Thursday depending on what I might need on sun/Mon, Dhop has a juicy matchup, Achane has blowup-ability, and Chandler outscored my RB1 last week (kamara). Rb2 is J cook.

Man seeing bijan sitting in my lineup with little other options gives me heartburn

12 team PPR
Pick 3 (2 WR spots and FLEX)

Pittman @ ATL
Aiyuk v BAL
Addison v DET
Achane v DAL

Stroud still out, used Levis this past week but considering going with Mullins or O'Connell. Think it was one and done hot week for Aiden?

I looked at remaining schedule and decided to drop 49ers today. Bad call?
