  • I posted a screenshot of my .02 win over the Savage Hammers on facebook and someone said our defensive scoring makes no sense. The Eagles in Week 3 against the Cardinals put up 22.32 points which seems odd for a team that lost 27-6 while generating no turnovers. Jaguar?

    • obviously I would have been best to go with Murray/Gore/Benson and put Matthews on the bench (as suggested by Ben Kenobi and Al B Sure) but instead I went with Murray on the bench and went with Matthews/Gore/Benson (as suggested by Slowwhand).

      Albert, that's a good thing. We can continue to dispense good advice, have it ignored and ensure that other teams start suboptimal lineups.

          1. 22.32 is not a particularly great score for a defense. Note that the Cardinals D put up 44 fantasy points for the same game.
          2. Eagles D only allowed 21 points (6 were a defensive touchdown, scored against the offense.)
          3. Eagles D got 3 sacks and 9 tackles for a loss
          4. Eagles D kept the Cardinals below 300 yards of offense.

          Was it a good outing? No, more like a barely-above-average outing. But 22.32 is a barely-above-average score for a defense under my scoring. If you'd like to point out teams you feel were better (or worse) than the Eagles, but scored less (or more), feel free.

          • Al plays IDP? I've never played with him.

            • For reference, defenses by fantasy points per game. Nothing jumps out at me.

                • So as of week 4, Philip Rivers is being outperformed by Andy Dalton in DST.

                  • Andy Dalton is a good QB.

                    This may have happened before and I just don't remember it. I play Deviations in both leagues this coming week.

                    • The Bears defense got me 42.58 in Auction League - enough to take down Jaguar, who got all of 2.73 from the Jets D. I remember checking it out last night before I shut down, with my first thought being, "How do you like your defensive scoring system now, Jag?"

                        • At least no one is starting the Oakland D.

                          • I lose to Ken in both leagues and AFC was because I had wrong running backs. DeAngelo Williams had twelve and my new pickup, Jackie Battle, got 22 which would have won it for me. Roberts also got 23.9 at WR but again on my bench. Too many wrong decisions again.

                            • FYI, the San Diego Chargers list Jackie Battle as their starting RB:
