Streaming Defenses: Week 15

Sorry to be slow with your weekly addition of Bob's streaming defense advice. I've got a 1-year-old rocking a double ear infection and sinus infection, so all else in the world kind of stands still. But here you go and hope to get more posts up soon!


Well it was a mixed bag this week. There were some fabulous defensive efforts this week, of which two I recommended, Giants and Vikes. But I fell short in my confidence in the Cowboys and Chiefs. Sorry Jen, I just can’t recommend the ‘Boys going forward.  Here’s a wrap-up.

Two great performances and two duds. Sigh! Overall AVG was up a little this week, but there were a couple of zeros amongst the teams, like Saints and Bengals. Highly owned did pretty good this week, so if you had one of the top DEFs and stuck with them, as you should during playoffs, you did well. Even the non-recommended do OK. Among the top performers, the biggest surprise would be the Browns, who played really well in a tough matchup. And how about ‘dem Seahawks after a really tough time to keep them from your draft. I’m winning playoff games in the leagues that I drafted them. Here are this week’s jewels…

@DET
4th best stream, Vikes are hot and continue against a pretty generous off.

I really like the Ravens matchup this week. JAC is even worse on the road and the Ravens just bopped the Dolphins. Look for 14 points plus upside.

The Giants killed it last week and they’ll do it again against the hapless Redskins, roll with them. I see another 14 point opportunity.

The Packers aren’t as good on the road as at home, no doubt about it. But the Bills don’t know what their game plan is anymore. And the Packers keep crushing it; look for 12 points and upside.

The Vikings are on a roll, and even though DET is capable of posting big numbers, I see some turnover opportunities here. Keep the Vikes in your lineup and expect 12 points, even against DET.

Any thoughts on Carolina or Oakland's defense?

Labor Day FF links

Happy long weekend! Here's hoping most of you are free to enjoy the 3-day weekend and the relaxation and fun that comes with it. I spent my Sunday participating in 3 fantasy football drafts scattered throughout the day and night, but I think I've finally wrapped up my drafts for the year. So like many of you I'm now turning my attention to the Week 1 games! But before we get to some player rankings and prep for Week 1, I want to make sure that all you experts out there are aware of the upcoming deadline for the annual accuracy contest that I run with the Fantasy Sports Trade Association. I compare preseason positional rankings from experts to the final outcome of the fantasy season to see which site had the most accurate preseason rankings, and this year's deadline is fast approaching: September 9th by kickoff. Check out the info on the FSTA site for more details and be sure to e-mail me your submissions. Now, onto Week 1! First up, let's get to some of this

2010 Week 2 consensus start/sit

Greetings and happy weekend. I've got this week's consensus start/sit for you which is a tally of all the start/sit votes that players received in the various start/sit articles that I linked to earlier in the week. So while these aren't my personal recommendations, I do think knowing what the consensus is could be of help when making lineup decisions...so enjoy! Note: the players are listed in no particular order. QB Start: Michael Vick, Kyle Orton, Matt Ryan, Jason Campbell Sit: David Garrard, Alex Smith, Jay Cutler, Vince Young, Carson Palmer RB Start: LeSean McCoy, Darren McFadden, Ahmad Bradshaw, Brandon Jackson Sit: Tim Hightower, C.J. Spiller, Beanie Wells, Ronnie Brown WR Start: Santana Moss, Legedu Naanee, Malcolm Floyd, Mike Williams (TB), Dez Bryant Sit: Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree TE Start: Chris Cooley, Todd Heap, John Carlson, Jermichael Finley Sit: Jermaine Gresham, Owen Daniels, Tony Scheffler, Jeremy Shockey, Bo Scaife Kicker Start: La

Start/Sit Week 4 and a smattering of rankings

It's been awhile, my fantasy football friends. I have lofty intentions of getting several posts up here each week, but life is busy and I will do my best. So in the intervening 6 years since I've posted regularly on here, our family added another child (now there are 3!), moved back to Boulder for a sabbatical year and then returned to Knoxville, and we have basically been chugging along like many of the rest of you. My two boys (who turn 12 and 9 soon) are in a fantasy football league for the first time this year with their buddies, which ostensibly is the just the dads (and mom!) playing one another of course. But my oldest is taking it super seriously and what kind of Fantasy Football Librarian would I be if I didn't step up my game for him? So I'm back - and am interested in the fantasy landscape - lots of the same awesome sites out there, but many new ones as well. I'll try to incorporate a mix. Please be sure to let me know if my 2006 ways aren't working i
