Fantasy Football Question: Defense

[JC]

I have Colts and Dolphins Ds for next week. In my league, you get points against, but also, the defense gets positive points for turnovers, scoring, etc. To date, the Colts have +33 points which is unheard of! No other defense has positive points.

 

However, they play the Rams on Monday night in Indy. Of course, the Rams are #2 overall on offense. The Dolphins, on the other hand, play at Tampa Bay. The Dolphins are a respectable -18 for the year so far.

 

Any thoughts which I should play?

Colts in the dome. The crowd noise will put a damper on the Rams high-powered offense and the Colts defense is on fire

 

I will be attending that game Monday night.

If they start getting creamed, I expect you to run on the field and sweep Tori Holt's knee.

I will at least toss a chair in front of him. :wink:

No offense, Sir Knight-life, but that's a "homer" response.

 

Go with the Phins. Cadillac Williams is hurt and may not play, leaving Brian Greise, Michael Pittman and Joey Galloway.

Never start a defense that is playing the Rams in a dome on turf.

Colts should get lots of sacks and INT's against the rams, especially with Martz out. Edited October 12, 2005 by Bunts Lick Butts

How is that a "homer" response? The Colts are +5 on giveaways/takeaways and with little running game from the Rams the Colts should be able to apply plenty of pressure to Bulger. Plus the Colts defense have surrendered less than 6 points a game.

 

I am not a Colts' fan as Monday's game will be the first I have ever been to in 12 years I've been in Indy. But they are playing very solid defense unlike years past.

I believe Indy's D is only allowing 5.8 points a game. You can't argue with that.

Tennessee's the only team that isn't in the bottom 10 in PPG too though, they haven't exactly been shutting down offenses as capable as the Rams.

But the St. Louis D is second worst when it comes to points allowed and towards the bottom yards given up/game and passing yards allowed so I would say the Colts offense will spend a good portion of the game on the field. The Colts offense may be the best defense.

Predicting a St. Louis win. Go with the Fins.

got to be the colts

Carnell Williams will play, and the Bucs will win.

 

Please don't hurt Holt. He is really helping my fantasy team.

I thought Holt was Q as it was.

 

I'd start the Dolphins D. Indy's good, but St. Louis could put up a high score especially with that dome-on-turf thing. With Cadillac being a little bruised, I don't see TB doing any high scoring.

 

JC, do you lose points for every point your D gives up? I've never heard of that, it makes a good D that much more valuable.

[Knightlife_in_Lubbock]

Looks like the Colts D was the right pick after all.

 

Dolphins D 369 yds, 20 points, and 1 TO

 

Colts D 346 yds, 28 points, and 4 TO

[Mark_R]

The more important thing is that I looked smart about my pick of The Rams to upset the Colts... for about 20 minutes :cry:

Stupid Bulger trying to take out a defensive lineman.
