Help me out

Need a defense for this week.

Minny vs Packers

Giants @ Philly

Jets vs Rams

Only reason I even have the Jets is because I thought they would be a good play vs the Chiefs and that backfired and I havent cut them and they look halfway decent this week. Personally I hate starting defense on the road which takes me off the Giants....Im leaning Minny and hoping for some sacks and turnovers...not expecting much in terms of yards as I expect the Packers to get 300....or should I roll the dice with the Jets again?

PEACE

Nobody trusts the Jets at home vs the Rams? For the record Im betting Vikes, Eagles and Rams but if I didnt gamble I think on paper the Jets look the safest, no?

Im torn 50/50 Jets/Vikes even though Giants have been my money maker this year Im not even considering them on the road....Ill check back on Sunday morning and go with what the poll says......atleast if it backfires I can blame you guys

Real big game this week im 4-5 playing vs 5-4 and a wild card berth likely

PEACE

how can you not start the Giants ????

They lead the league in sacks and Spagnuolo still knows that team. I see alow scoring 17-10 type game.

Staring the Jets defense over the Giants defense is a mistake.

I'd go with the Jets here too, remember that fantasy defense is different than real defense.

3 PA, 200 YDS, DTD (50), 2 Int, 3 DFR, 2 SACK 32 Pts for the Jets

31 PA, 300 YDS, Int, DFR 4 Pts for the Giants

27 PA, 184 YDS, 4 SACK, 2 STY 16 Pts for the Vikes

Im up 111-74 and all he has is Hightower remaining so I think Im safe....this thread was a big help this week.....I mightve been safe with the Vikes also but the Jets did the job.....Jets and Giants wouldve scored more but they allowed 200 and 300 which dropped them some more instead of 199 and 299 threshhold....Vikes shouldve scored more but Pack scored 2 TDs w/o their offense.

I agree with Kieth above that the Giants are the best unit of the 3 but when all 3 defenses are solid you have to play the best matchup.....especially at home.......Vikes defense looked much better vs the pass with that Madiue Williams guy back also.....they might be a team watch down the line.

PEACE
