pzummo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Both. Forte gets receptions and that's one play we have always given up yards on. But we should put up points on Cutler. Our rush d is stout though, so I don't see Forte getting too many rushing yards. He'll make up for it in recieving though. The Bears are bound to score some, I don't see us shutting them out, and Forte would more than likely get their score, especially with Barber out. KC's defense is not great. I expect ours to put up more in FF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stldirtybird Posted September 11, 2011 Author Share Posted September 11, 2011 Both it is....here's to a couple pick sixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I have a tough decision too. Lions D vs Bucs or Jets D vs Cowboys? Leaning towards Jets since Bucs have a conservative offense while Romo can turn the ball over. I could also see Dallas scoring more than the Bucs though.Dallas Clark vs Hou (no Peyton) or Gonzo vs Chi? Leaning towards Dallas Clark. Chi has good LBers and I could see Tony having a slow day with all of our other weopons. I could also see Tony being a big player in the redzone though.

AtlanticFit Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 NEVER start a defense that is going against one of your RB/WR or QB. You are only hurting yourself. Start the KC defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyIceIsSoNice Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 NEVER start a defense that is going against one of your RB/WR or QB. You are only hurting yourself. Start the KC defense.So you're saying that just because he has Matt Forte the Falcons D can't score more than the Cheifs??? I'd start the Falcons D, it doesn't matter who your running back is, start the D you think will score the most points because that's what matters.

Not to mention, KC is playing Buffalo today, and have a higher projected points total than the Falcon's D. Forte also has almost 3 times the projected total over what the Falcon's D does.One thing I have learned in fantasy: Don't let Homerism or hate guide your decisions if you want to win.

Fitzpatrick was pretty good and I do not have confidence in KC's defense. I think the Bills are more likely to put up more points. Fred Jackson was pretty good too. He's old and might not be a stud as the season continues. But he could be good week 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have confidence in KC defense either, but I have WAY LESS confidence in Buffalo's offense.Bottom line: If this was MY fantasy team. I would sit the Falcon's D, and start Forte and KC's D. Also look to see what other Defense's are on waivers. My sleeper Defense for this week: The Texans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEra Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 I would definitely start the Falcons Defense. The new pass rush is going to destroy Cutler. I would never write off a Grimes int for any game, especially when we're playing Jay Cutler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlanticFit Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Any advice on Jets D vs Dal or Lions D vs Bucs? Dallas Clark or Tony G?That's a tough call between those Defenses. I would probably start the Lion's D only because TB just doesn't have the receivers that Dallas has. I have a feeling TB is going to try to run the ball a ton and are just going to get stopped by that sick front 4.The only reason I don't like the Jet's D for this game is that Revis is going to be on Austin, and Cromartie is going to be on Bryant. I see Bryant burning Cromartie for most of the game, and Revis having to pick up the slack.Now on the TE: This is another tough call. Of the two, Tony G is the safer pick. But Dallas Clark has a lot more upside if you are willing to roll the dice. We don't know how much Kerry Collins is going to look to Clark. MY guess is: A LOT. We know what we are getting with Gonzo. I don't see big Tony getting a lot of looks from Matty Ice this game. I read somewhere that last year, the Bear's D gave up the least amount of yards to TEs than any other team, Ill see if I can find where I read it.
