Have you checked you Defense lately?

here is an excerpt from a Reggie Bush update:

Bush faces a tough matchup against a stalwart Cardinals defense that has not allowed a rushing touchdown or a 100-yard game on the season. Sounds a lot like last years Niner D. I grabbed the Cardinals D last week in one league and they won the week for me. Now in most of my leagues the cards D is gone, either I got them or somebody else did, but maybe not in yours!!

In the lousy real life D but good fantasy D category is the Tampa Bay Bucs. They play great D for 3 quarters then the floodgates open in the 4th quarter. Now during those first 3 quarters they are sacky with ints and fumble recoveries. Go check out your league stats, be careful, the bucs have a week 5 bye week.

And in the don't look now category, after 4 complete games, the Browns D may be better than yours!?!?!

yeah, this is huge, defense can for sure change or win a week. I've always been big on this i have SF/AZ in my one big $ and SF/Min in the other, looking hard at tampa/was to replace min. SF has been a big ol dogturd so far, too

You have to watch those Ds based on fantasy scoring.

The Cowboys for a few years had a top 5 D Stat wise. But fantasy wise they ranked 12-15.

Grinding 3 and outs are great for your real life team but doesn't always crank up fantasy points
