Buftex Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 How many defenses do you carry on your roster? I have always been one to draft a single defense (Cardinals this year), pick up a second one when the first one is on the bye, and then cut the lesser of the two, asap. This year, I got myself into a bit of a quandary. I picked up the Chargers this week, when the Cards were on the bye, but then, for some reason, somebody in my league cut the Bengals d (#2 overall in my league) as they were on the bye. I pounced on the Bengals d....so now I got three. Never been in that position before. I have to cut one (probably the Cards), in favor of a healthy TE option...should I keep two defenses and play the best matchup each week? Or just stick with one? Quote
BuffOrange Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I draft someone with a good week 1 matchup and stream matchups all year. In your case I'd cut the Cardinals who are playing over their heads sans Dockett, play the Chargers the next two weeks, then cut them and roll with Cincy the rest of the way. Quote

Pretty much in line with what I am thinking....though my wavier claim for Heath Miller, in favor of Cards defense was denied! Grrr...I can't find a healthy tight end! Quote
Johnny Hammersticks Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I keep my D/ST situation in flux. Basically look for what I think are good matchups, and then ride that D/ST until I find a better matchup. I'm not one of those guys who spend a 7th round pick on Seattle D/ST. Quote
NDBUFFCUSEFAN Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 My usual D move is to stream weeks 1-11 and then see if there's a D that is startable for 12-16. This way I'm not burning waivers in the playoffs on a D and if one clears that is better than the D I have I can grab them. Quote
Canadian Bills Fan Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I usually wait until my 2nd last or last pick and draft the best ranked D/ST and then if they dont pan out I do the old pick up the one who has the best matchup each week CBF Quote
Buftex Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Crud... had to cut the Cards defense, and settle for Fleener at tight-end... Quote
Dante Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Stream D here as well. This week I got Cleveland, Lions, Bills(no better option) and I'm taking a flyer on the Packers tonight in another league. I know the Packers D isn't the greatest but Ponder is to bad to resist.

I guess that worked out well! Quote
