Team Defense

Postby georgetown » Tue Jul 03, 2018 6:17 am

Cuts just happened in our league and Denver and the LA Rams were just dropped.

How much FAAB (out of $100) would you bid on these DEF? Try and get both and play matchups each week?

Thanks!

idk about the Broncos, but the Rams, id say like 10 faab depending how bad you really want them and don't want other team to have them.

I personally have no problem paying with FAAB that's what its there for lol.

$15 for LAR would be well worth the investment for a top-5 fantasy defense given the talent they've acquired under Wade Phillips. I'd pass on DEN; they seem to be just okay given their roster now.

yeah, this sounds about right. maybe 15 for the Rams and 1 on the Broncos and if someone beats you out on the Rams you get a fall back (which admittedly is more matchup based at this point)

Are waivers first come first serve during the regular season once waiver clear after each weeks games? If so, because you are a contender, I would be ok spending 15-25% to lock down another positional advantage over your league (which is not something I would usually do).

I had a defensive trio of JAC/LAR/BAL in a league last year and averaged over 13 PPG from playing matchups. On top of that, it is nice not having to play the waiver wire defensive matchup game, and you will probably end up spending the same amount of your BB Budget anyways because one large investment now (LA Rams) will save you from having to spend 1%-3%-5% every week/every other week during the season. You can safely set it and forget it with them.

QB: A. Rodgers, M. Mariota, J. Garoppolo
RB: K. Hunt, S. Barkley, J. McKinnon
WR: D. Hopkins, K. Allen, T. Hilton, S. Watkins, J. Crowder
TE: R. Gronkowski
DEF: LA Rams


....But, I probably wouldn't even roster any defenses other than JAC/LAR/MIN/BAL during the off-season.
