CarolinaBills Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Has anyone been on CBS Sportsline for a fantasy football draft? They have the Bills D/ST rated number one. Quote
KD in CA Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 I've found Sportsline rankings to be very questionable. Good example here. Quote
ganesh Posted July 16, 2006 Posted July 16, 2006 Has anyone been on CBS Sportsline for a fantasy football draft? They have the Bills D/ST rated number one. 723540[/snapback] Right now they should be middle of the pack, considering we hvae two many question marks and unknowns on the D....a rookie SS, a rookie CB at the nickel position, 2 new starting DTs....still a unknown at the other DE position.....I guess the Bills STs ranking is playing a lot here..... STs do contribute quite a bit of points to the defenseive rankings in Fantasy football...BUt I still think the STeelers and Ravens D are much better than the bills. Quote
Ramius Posted July 17, 2006 Posted July 17, 2006 I've found Sportsline rankings to be very questionable. Good example here. 723541[/snapback] Not necessarily from a fantasy perspective. Fantasy Defenses/ST's are usually based on 3 things: turnovers, sacks and TD's. The Bills D tied for 11th in the league in total turnovers created, 13th in sacks. Now the Bills D only scored 2 TD's last season, but lets say that improves slightly, to 3 or 4. Add in possibly 3-5 ST TD's and you are talking 6-9 d/ST TD's on the season. Thats enough to rank our D pretty high in terms of fantasy standards. #1? probably not, but from a straight up fantasysports point of view, our D can be good. Quote
