I dropped my Cards D since there's no way I can trust them IN Seattle.

I'm torn between the following:

I'm kinda leaning towards the Rams with how they have been playing at home.

I'd probably go Rams TBH. Browns have legit reason to tank this game vs NYJ

Why is everyone so gay for the Browns this week? I know that Geno is a turn over machine, but the Browns give up a lot of points. Their fantasy points seem to be pretty dependent on them scoring defensive/ST TDs...

So would you say San Diego vs Oakland is a better play?

because who doesn't want to start a defense playing a TO machine?

No. Oakland is pretty bad, but SD is not a very good defense, especially fantasy wise. Last time those two teams played, SD Defense gave up 27 points, 4 sacks, 0 int, 0 fumb, 0 td (4 pts in my league)

My comment was more referring to the people that have been all about the Browns this week, even over the #1 ranked defense (KC).

I understand the appeal, I just think there are better teams to start this week.
Last 5 weeks they've given up (my league scoring):
41 pts to Cin (6 fp) - with a D/ST TD
27 pts to Pit (0 fp)
32 pts to Jax (3 fp)
27 pts to NE (8 fp)
38 pts to CHI (19 fp) - with 2 D/ST TD

And they are playing away this week. I just don't get why everyone is crazy about them. If they don't get in the endzone, they probably won't put up decent numbers.

Any other D's that you would recommend that would be on waiver wire? What about the bills?

The Browns really aren't a bad start. I'm just trying to figure out why everyone is so high on them all the sudden. Is it just because they had a 2 TD game last week?

But if you could screenshot your waiver wire, I'd tell you my opinion. Or just tell me your top few options.

Buffalo is actually a pretty solid start vs. Miami, but Tannehill has actually been playing well lately. Buffalo has been racking up sacks tho. Buffalo and Cleveland would probably be a tossup for me. Buffalo would be the safe pick with a lower ceiling and Cleveland would have more upside.

My choices are between the Browns and Carolina. I am hesitant to take the risk with Brees. Although, if the weather is going to be shite, then I might plug in Carolina.
