Streaming Defenses: Week 16

It's a special Tuesday, I've got two posts for you tonight. First up, Bob's take on defenses that you might want to roll with this week. 


Well it’s championship week, and if you’re reading this you’ve made it to the pinnacle, and I hope I’ve helped in some small way. At this point of the season you are probably locked into one of the top defenses and will ride them to the final outcome. But there may be some unlikely teams in the finals due to the disastrous week 15 for QBs. So some of you may not have the best matchup. First let’s look at week 14 stats:

The Ravens killed it and the Giants and Packers held their own. The Vikings were a disappointment however and the streamers only averaged 12.5 points. Normally a good week, since the overall average was only 10.8. But the highly owned teams kicked it in and averaged 13 points in a week that saw a lot of QBs stagger. The Bills and 49ers surprised as not recommended starts. But overall, the highly owned did well.   So what’s in store for this week?

3rd best stream, unlikely start but big upside against the most generous DEF pts giver

The highly owned teams look to do well again this week, but I don’t like the 49ers or Chiefs.

First best stream is one I recommended last week, and the Packers have an even juicier matchup this week.  Look for the Pack to rebound and do it on DEF. Expect 14 points with upside.

Second, once again, the Giants have a good matchup against a generous Rams team. In fact, both could do well, but the Giants will do better. Expect 12 points.

And for my final recommendation of the year, the Titans. The Titans??? Yep, they have nothing to play for except respect, and they have the ‘first round pick in the draft’ Jags. Don’t expect the Jags to give up that pick. They go out with a whimper and yield a ton of points to the Titans, to the tune of 12 points with upside.  

This will do it for my articles to the FFLibrarian for this season. Watch for more new exciting articles in the months to come from the FFLibrarian. We’re already strategizing new ways to help our readers even in the off season. 

And a fond thank you to Sara and the gang of 4 contributors this year, it’s been a real pleasure to work with you all and look forward to next year…

Thanks, enjoyed your defense series. Reading this along with comparing a few other sites, I had a successful season streaming defenses. Happy Holidays!

Thanks FFL for a lot of great articles during the season! Looking forward to next year.

What about Carolina against Johnny Football and the amazing Brownies?

I'm surprised not to see Carolina top the list among the streaming defenses. Carolina has only allowed 527 passing yards total in the last 3 weeks which includes 2 fum recoveries, 2 INTs and 8 sacks.

Nice post. I like it. One-time All-Star DeMar DeRozan is set to return next week after missing a month and a half because of a groin injury. He couldn’t have chosen a better time with the Raptors playing all four games at home against the likes of Philadelphia and Detroit. If an owner is foolish and impatient enough to let DeRozan go, snag him up before it’s too late.

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
