Week 12 and ROS - Which Team Defense?

[PenguinHunter]

I have Baltimore.

Cleveland is available.

Who is the play this week? Who is the better one for the rest of season?

Week 12

Baltimore @ LAC
Cleveland @ Denver

Rest of season

Baltimore - Bye, LAR, JAX, SF, MIA
Cleveland - LAR, JAX, CHI, HOU, NYJ


I know Baltimore is the better D overall.

But taking into account the bye week and the schedule would you drop Baltimore for Cleveland?

Or drop a WR in a 10 team league when I have J Chase, Devonta Smith, Tyler Lockett and Garrett Wilson.

Thanks!

Id go with Cleveland.

Glad to see someone else finally using this section

Man, I don't know. I wouldn't drop any of those WR for Cleveland and keep Baltimore for next week. But I can't imagine there isn't another option on your roster to drop.

If there isn't, I think it's alright to drop Baltimore for Cleveland for next week. Cleveland has the better playoff schedule for you, but I'd be nervous of an opponent taking Baltimore of the waiver wire.

This is my exact concern. Cleveland is a good D with a great matchup. Baltimore is a great D. and I don't want to have to face them.

This is my roster (keep in mind its only a 12 team league)

QB - Dak Prescot
RB - Kamara
RB - Pollard
WR - D Smith
WR - J Chase
TE - Laporta
Flex - Pacheco
K - Empty
DEF - Cleveland

BN - Mostert
BN - Mattison
BN - J Cook
BN - Lockett
BN - G Wilson
BN - Baltimore

I am thinking I just have to wait until closer to Sunday to drop Baltimore for a kicker.

So that whoever is keen enough to pick up Baltimore has to burn a waiver priority on them.

Or Is Mattison my drop.
I tried really hard to trade Mattision/Cook/Mostert before the deadline, but my leaguemates simply do not trade very much in this league.

ooofff ya that's a tough one. I would probably drop Mattison. Might not be the popular opinion but he has the bye next week and then he's an injury replacement for you for the rest of the season.

You could look at your possible opponents for the rest of the season and who they have on defense. Weigh your options on the possibility of someone you'll face in the regular season picking up Baltimore.

I think it's Mattison or Baltimore for the drop to pick up a kicker. Or....see if the Chicago or Minny kicker are available. If they are, don't drop Baltimore until before the Sunday night game. Maybe you can push it to not even need the kicker this week.


Or even do the same strategy with the SanFran kicker Moody.

I’d drop Matty and get a kicker. Keep Raven D for this week and hopefully Browns are there for you to ride the rest of the season. If not Baltimore isn’t a bad start anyways. Good luck. (I’m very tempted to drop Wilson, but with a new QB he may wake up)

So....how serious is your league? Does it have a rule about starting a "complete lineup"???

The way Dak and Pollard started....you may not even need a kicker to win....just saying.
