find out if you should sit some of your studs and which defenses you should pick up starting right now on the RAS ball fantasy YouTube [Applause] channel and don’t adjust your monitors folks it is the man by the way I got to admit I did talk a little [ __ ] I was like listen Dereck at this point is not just showing up I was pissed I was I was reacting to you not being around so I ADV yeah hurt people hurt people Derek and I was a little hurt that you didn’t show up a few weeks so listen but I’m glad you’re back it feels like I feel like I’m back home on Wednesday evening go follow him Dereck forfit on Twitter Dereck what’s going on man H doing well yeah was uh just seems like it’s been forever since we’ve been on here on a Wednesday night it’s only been a couple weeks but uh glad to be back uh playoffs right around the corner and we’re going to dive right into it tonight yeah so honestly Today’s Show we’re gonna be breaking down the musthave defenses for fantasy football playoffs now listen most of us still play I might be in the minor already I like defenses in kicker I like position diversity a little bit you can only start so many wide receivers and running backs until you start starting guys that are just not good so I I I’m I’ve always been the guy that I like I like my uh defenses and kickers and they are going to matter they you honestly I know people sometimes hate it but there’s kickers of defense that might score you 15 16 points and that gets you over the edge into your fantasy Championship so today the exciting thing is the bad defenses when I was doing my research actually have good matchups and the good defenses actually don’t have the best matchups in a lot of cases so this is going to be a fun exercise today breaking down the musthave defenses for your fantasy football playoff push before we dive into that Derek kind of what is your overall philosophy going into the fantasy playoffs are you a start your stud defense do you usually pick up multiple defenses what’s your philosophy for defenses in the playoffs yeah for me I normally don’t have a stud defense for the whole season uh just just the way I roll I don’t really put a lot of draft Capital into defenses I do like to stream uh for the most part I like to stream so that being said I’m usually not in a position that I have a defense that uh that guy can ride throughout the playoffs and feel really comfortable for so I do look to have two and go with matchups and I start looking at those ironically right around this time I start looking at those um matchups and plan ahead to see where which defenses I want and when I want to use them just so I’m ready and I’m not fighting everyone else who’s who’s looking you know in know the week before I I want to do that like three weeks four weeks before so just just quickly to kind of touch on some of the elite defenses so we’re talking about the Vikings Chiefs Broncos defenses that are essentially owned in well over 50% of leagues um I guess I guess so what one of the things that I will say is this it’s preferable to play a good defense in a average matchup a match a winnable matchup than trying to justify starting a Jags defense against a really bad offense like so there is going to be a little bit of finding that sweet spot to understand okay which defenses have shown enough that you are excited to play them and some of them we’ll talk about on today’s show that these aren’t going to be like the bottom of the barrel defenses per se um they are defenses that have Flash in moments so some of the teams I want to talk about really quick like I know you kind of already said you know you’re not interested in maybe but like the 49ers the Eagles the Chargers you know these defenses that actually have played really well is there any that stood out to you when you were doing your research that you’re like all right I’m definitely going to play that defense this week I’m hanging on to them no matter what is there any of the stud defenses that you felt that way about yeah I mean you mentioned the Chiefs a minute ago and and they’re are defense that uh I I’m I’m kind of want to circle around if I have them or I can get them uh you because they’ve got some good matchups they don’t they don’t have a great matchup in week 17 at the Steelers but they’ve had a really good uh defense against the run and so when you for instance their week 15 matchup is at Cleveland uh you know Cleveland yeah you know we know that uh Jameson will throw the ball around but it’s going to be to beat the the Browns and keep them in check you want to make sure you can stop the run and the Chiefs are really good at stopping the run so that’s a that’s a matchup specifically that that I’m going to look for uh if I have someone like Philadelphia or like you mentioned the 49ers I mean granted they don’t have great matchups but uh you at Le at least if you can’t find a one week defense to use then um you’re going to use them and you’re gonna you’re going to take what you get I mean you’re not going to feel like you’re going to win because of the defense but they shouldn’t cost you I I if you do have one of the elite defenses you know you’re going to roll with it and that’s going to be your default but if you can find a onewe defense somewhere else that you can mix in and just take advantage of that really good matchup uh you know like the Falcons for instance they’re one that kind of kind of stands out a little bit to me you know you want to plug them in uh and just have an option don’t just hamstring yourself or handcuff yourself the fact that you have one defense and that’s all you have so what I just want to put on the screen if you watch this later I’m just I just wanted to roll like these are some of the de offenses that I think you should kind of attack uh and so like the Giants the Patriots are kind of one of those teams where Drake is kind of a wild card to be honest with you it looks like Drake May might be a homes Road split guy and if you check out the tool on rasb he seems to play better at home but on the road he does struggle a little bit more um and then you got teams like the Jags where they G to get Trevor Lawrence back and they do have a lot of weapons so that could always be risky the Titans are an explosive offense but they are turnover prone with Levis the Cowboys have been oddly uh efficient they very conservative with Cooper rush it seems like so it might be not the best matchup you might be relying more on points in that specific matchup then you have like the Jets Aaron Rogers just really hasn’t clicked and then the Colts with Anthony Richardson listen Jonathan Taylor might be the least talked about bust I’ve ever heard in my life Jonathan Taylor is the biggest bust in fantasy football right now like he might be and it’s not even close he is horrible he scored like three fantasy points last week not like I have him in any leagues but it’s okay um but anyway my point is when you’re you’re looking at these matchups Derek is there one that kind of stands out to where you’re like I’m I’m targeting that matchup the most is there a offense that stands out to you yeah an offense that I want my defense to go against is what you’re saying yeah correct yeah I mean that’s that’s really going to be you know obviously the Jaguars I mean the Jaguars are are statistically the worst defense out there um you know but their playoff schedule is not uh it’s not prone like you you mentioned Tennessee you know Tennessee is kind of a wild card they do they the Tennessee Titans play the Jaguars in week 17 so that would be a matchup potentially where I would want to exploit that uh you know with with an offense with my offensive players uh but again you know you mentioned at the top of the show some of the the best strength of schedules for defenses are all at in the bottom third of the league for the most part so it’s it’s really it’s going to be really hard to kind of mix and match it’s going to be take a little more strategy than than normal to really find the optimal uh defensive um you know lineups to uh to take into the playoffs I I think the Giants are one of those teams where uh as it pains me to say it but like I know there’s a little bit of a hesitation and the good thing is we were kind of talking about the Cowboys defense to on Thursday against the the Giants I just it is a little they do have a lot of talent right and so like the issue now is the offensive line is an issue and the the quarterback’s getting a lot of sacks and so like it does seem like if they do get any time they got neighbors and Slayton and juandell and and they got Tyrone Tracy and like I know it’s Danny uh Tommy DeVito and and Drew lock probably on Thursday but like are the you didn’t mention the Giants is the Giants not a matchup you’re really trying to exploit uh it is uh you know I’m looking at their uh their playoff schedule I mean they’ve got uh Baltimore in week 15 I Baltimore is going to be rostered in a defense so that’s not going to be an option unless you have Baltimore but Atlanta I’m kind of looking at Atlanta in week 16 uh hosting the Giants that would be a matchup that I would uh I would like to take advantage of in fact uh Atlanta is one of the one of the teams that I would really kind of circle as a potential Wild Card defense as a streamer I mean they’re they’re ranked in the bottom third again they’re not they’re not a great defense but their matchups against the Raiders and the Giants frankly make them somewhat appealing so yeah yeah so the Raiders Giants uh Cleveland Tennessee those are some of the offense that I’m looking to uh try to exploit it I will say this there wasn’t one defense when I was looking at this situation where I felt comfortable I would start them all three weeks so I’m going to just lead the whole entire conversation by saying that all my recommendations are going to be you pick up two defenses at this point in the year if you have uh your once you get through week 14 there is no more buys and you’re probably going to be starting let’s say an example if you have five if you’re in a shallow league with like five bench spots you’re you’re probably not going to be starting the wide receiver five on your team that’s a spot where you flip to a defense and then you pair up for the the playoffs once you get through the by weeks it’s important to have your high-end handcuffs but to be honest with you you’re pretty much unless you feel like you have a let’s say you have a three receiver and then you you know you might be rotating two guys at your three four spot that’s fine but going beyond that to be honest with you once you get through the buy next week this is the time where you’re like okay let’s figure out the optimal playoff schedule for the defense because I’m telling you it will make a difference um and so you brought up the Falcons and I will admit there’s a couple teams that I like the Falcons were one of them the Colts might be the one defense where honestly like the Colts DST is good they’re getting healthy and they’ve looked good the last few weeks and they have some really good matchups outside of the Broncos game and so my number one Duo I actually have on my list is the Falcons Colts uh pairing the Falcons in week 15 against the Raiders then you have the option of doing either the Colts or Falcons in week 16 and then you finish with the Giants so you basically get the Giants twice and the Raiders once um and that one was a really good Duo and the other one I had up there too is the Cardinals Colts where you do cardinals vers the Patriots um they are going to be home so New England will be in Arizona which I like then you have the uh Colts or P you have the Cardinals versus the Panthers which I don’t know the Panthers are start looking pretty good um over the last few weeks but you have the Colts versus the Titans and then the Colts once again against the Giants so those are like the two biggest ones that I’ve identified is there a pairing that you really like yeah I I like the card as well that was one that I’m I’m pairing with either Buffalo if I could get the bills again those are that’s another one that’s probably going to be owned but outside of their week 15 matchup at Detroit they’ve got a really good schedule um but and and then one that I’m really I don’t hear mention we haven’t mentioned it yet it’s the Buccaneers you know Buccaneers they’re yeah statistically they’re one of the worst defenses but they they’ve got a tremendous uh schedule in week 16 weeks at Dallas and then home for Carolina like you said Dallas has been efficient but they’re not going to blow you out you know this anymore uh same with Carolina Carolina starting to show some life and efficient but again you know that’s not an offense that you expect to to blow you out and and what’s more important I think is we can expect at least through SE week 17 the Bucks are right in the think of it they’re going to be playing for their playoff life and what motivates you know a team you know in in week 16 especially week 17 is what are they playing for you know we might have one of the better you know defenses or you know better teams in even offensive players uh but you get to week 17 and they’re either out of it completely or you know they’re they’re just not really playing for anything and you know does that affect how you know how they approach the game even though they have a great matchup I think it does to some degree so I’m you know even if they’re you know for instance like the Bucks are not ranked very high at all um I played them last week you know and in the match last week in one of my leagues and they they worked out really well because you know they’re Giants yeah right and that’s so you’re saying you know taking advantage of some of those nice matchups even though that the defense you know statistically one of the wor but you know you can plug them in in a onewe scenario like that against the Giants and it works out just fine so so yeah the bucks bucks are another one I’m looking at uh if I need like a onewe filler in in there and and especially you know they’re not going to be rostered beforehand so if you have that shallow bench and you get to week 14 after the buys week 15 and you want a streaming defense for that you know fifth wide receiver uh look at the the Buccaneers that might be one just a sneak a sneaky ad that might pay off yeah the Chargers is the one game where you’re a little bit concerned and then the Cowboys are they in let’s see uh they’re at Dallas that’s a little I think Cooper Rush Plays I personally from what I’ve seen Cooper Rush seems to play a little bit better at home uh and the Cowboys always historically have played better at home but their defense has been bad over the last few weeks at home so we’ll see and then the Panthers I don’t know what to make of what the hell’s going on in Carolina but they have looked impressive I mean they played the Chiefs very well uh and so I it by the way this is all we’re talking about in the moment right now what we kind of learned over the last few weeks like but the Panthers are one of those teams where if the trend continues like I might not want to touch that one um but so just like another deeper name that I looked at was the Bengals um the Bengals DST when you’re watching them they play to their opponent like if you watch the defense if you look at their stats they have good games against Bad teams and then they get they get smoked by good offenses and to be honest with you I’m never going to play the Bengals and against a good offense so when you’re looking at their schedule Titans and Browns the first two weeks of the playoffs listen will Le by the I mean you have Callahan who’s a former Bengals um staffer um so it’s kind of a similar offense uh maybe uh Lu maruo kind of knows what they’re doing a little bit can help the defense to an extent but that could also be flipped on the other end and then the Browns are like a lot of the stats for the Browns are skewed because DeShaun Watson was a dumpster fire and then jamus is very volatile but the one thing you know you’ll get with jamus is some turnovers here and there you’ll get you’ll get a couple sacks here and there but he might get points and yards so like a lot of this discussion is under understanding what your league format is is your league format you know a a give up you lose fantasy points for yardage is a key one because then guys like jamus Winston who will just throw for 300 yards is going to be a bad thing for your defense but a lot of leagues now are either Point focused and turn overfocused so that’s a better option there so the Bengals are a deeper name but before we kind of go is there a specific Duo what what if you were to pick right now and I’ll tell you give me the the perfect playoff Duo defenses and which weeks you’re starting them against those opponents yeah that’s that’s going to be tough because there’s not going to really be a perfect uh you know Minnesota you know you love them against the Bears in week 15 uh but uh again you know they’re you’re probably not going to have them so I mentioned before the bills and the Cardinals so I would play the Cardinals at home versus New England in week 15 then the bills at home in week 16 and then uh week 17 at home versus the Jets so I would pair the Cardinals and the bills that would be my my number one target if you know in a perfect world Cardinals and bills I I actually am gonna say something I’m gonna say Falcons Colts interesting Falcons against the Raiders then you got Falcons vers the Giants or Colts vers the Titans and then in week 17 you got Colts versus the Giants yeah and if you’re looking at Indianapolis um the only Downs I like Indie a lot this week the only hesitation I have is if you look at Indie Indie schedule they they’re defense has played a lot better at home and they’re in New England this week they’ll be in New York on week 17 but the Colts are one of those teams where they’re fighting for a playoff spot you just talked about about that too but early season they just they had we talked about this on Sunday they had so many defensive line injuries their cornerbacks were banged up and so like they’re getting healthy at the right time that being said like this is almost a showcase week for me like I kind of want to see how they do in New England on the road against a rookie quarterback to see if they could actually play up to Snuff on the road and then I’m going to feel really confident that they can because what I really want is a team that creates turnovers in pass rush like I need a team because when you face the Giants they they’re going to have a Turn Style at and that’s what I really want so the Falcons Giants game the Falcons aren’t really known for their their pass rush so like I’m always concerned there but I have the flexibility if the Colts get hot I could play the Colts against the Titans in week 16 instead so that’s kind of why I really like that duo the another team we haven’t really talked about that’s a little less own is the Dolphins um Miami’s got Cleveland in week 17 and then they have Houston and San Francisco which isn’t really ideal um but Miami pairing up uh a Falcons with the dolphins isn’t bad either if you have Miami and I believe Miami is they’re in Cleveland so that game could be cold winter like you could you Leverage The the shitty weather against the the defense so um that’s another one that kind of popped up but but that’s uh any any final thoughts D yeah I I think just you know listen to both of us talk uh whether it’s the Falcons or the Cardinals in week 15 and week 16 are defenses that are probably available and certainly give you some flexibility um you know and it’s just one last one we haven’t really talked about the Lions I mean lions are are are known to be uh you know very friendly for passing offenses but they’ve got the the Bears in Chicago week 16 and that’s that’s one as well that uh you know they they their playoff matchup on either side you know Buffalo and San Francisco aren’t great but uh Circle that week 16 as well with the Lions and uh you know before uh I mean they’re going to be playing for the number one spot you know in the for the playoffs home field advantage so uh I could I could see week 16 at Chicago would might be uh might be another one that uh you know you might be a to get the someone dropping the Lions for for you know a streaming defense and you could take advantage of that onewe match up so let’s talk about this really quick because there was I I when I looked online there was 11 defenses that are owned in 50% of league so I tried to exclude them from this analysis but let’s just quickly this might be a good topic to talk about so the Vikings Broncos Chief Steelers 49ers Lions bills Texans Bears Eagles and Chargers now I just ran through that list really quick are the teams that are owned in most most leagues over 50% so let’s ask the question let’s quickly go through the schedules and ask would we play them in that matchup because I think that would be important so let’s dive into the first one which is the Minnesota Vikings the Vikings have Chicago which you already gave the thumbs up to but then they have Seattle which is always an interesting game um and that’s in Seattle and then they also have the Packers which I don’t think either of us are excited about so the question is Minnesota would you bother holding on to them during the playoff stretch or are you taking week 15 and then you’re pairing them with somebody else yeah I’m I’m definitely holding them uh I’m certainly going to play them in week 15 uh if I’ve got that first round matchup in the you know the playoffs uh but I’m looking for a team you know like like said we talked about um some like the Colts or some others who gives me some flexibility in in week 16 I don’t I mean I’ll play Minnesota at Seattle I don’t love it uh but like you said uh if I can find a a really good match up in week 17 uh instead of taking them versus the Packers I I would like to do that but yeah I’m definitely gonna hold them yeah I I think I’m out I think I’m not interested in starting the the Bears offense has looked good uh in the new offensive scheme and I you know they’re in sh they’re home against Chicago at Seattle home against Green Bay I I don’t think it’s worth worth it to me to to keep them let’s jump over to the Denver Broncos they have the Colts Chargers Bengals this one seems tough now the Broncos defense is legit uh I think the BR the Colts game I’d feel okay with I’m not overly scared about that team but the Chargers and Bengals I don’t think so what’s your thoughts there yeah I agree with you I’m I’m not loving either one of those especially that week 17 at Cincinnati uh you know Cincinnati I mean they’re on the outside looking in but if there’s a team out there that can make a rush in these final weeks to get at least contending for a playoff spot in the last weeks it’s the Bengals and yeah I I don’t want to take my defense into Cincinnati in week 17 and expect uh you know really good numbers you put put my Championship you know title hopes on the uh Broncos in Cincinnati week 17 now I’m I’m out on that one for sure yeah I would say if you have the Broncos I would take them for week 15 and then I would pair them with the Colts that’s what I’d probably do uh and then I’m insert the same response here you have the Kinston Chiefs they have the Browns in week 15 then Houston and Pittsburgh now the Houston game is at home but I don’t really want to play around with CJ strout and Company even in the cold months um I I don’t hate it but I don’t love it so I would probably say same thing start him against the Browns yeah probably fill in with the Colts or another defense set like that yeah and we can say the same thing for the Ravens as well you know the Ravens are very similar situation you know at the Giants in 15 and then uh home for Pittsburgh and then at Houston in 177 the the Ravens are are another one that that’s probably high that’s highly owned and one that you don’t want to just put put uh you know your title hopes in one defense yeah Steelers are another defense where I don’t think I’m gonna keep them I honestly am dropping them right now and letting someone else they have Philly Ravens Chiefs that’s not a good defense I have not played the Steelers with that schedule so if you had first two on the road too yeah yeah no no thanks there uh 49ers we have San Francisco they have the Rams dolphins and then Detroit uh and then that is at Miami which no thank you but they’re home against Detroit and the Rams honestly this is another one where I’m not interested your thoughts agree uh you know the Rams always play the Niners tough uh it does you know those those divisional games are always tough traveling to cross country to Miami no thanks and then of course uh Detroit we talked about Detroit uh you know pushing for the the home field you know for the playoffs in week 17 no no thanks so Detroit has Buffalo um and they are home against Buffalo that worries me I I think that could be a track meet uh I’m not interested in that one then you have the Bears and then 49ers I know San Francisco is struggling but to be honest with you by then I don’t know with pie they I I don’t think I’m starting them even against the Bears what’s your thoughts here yeah I I mentioned before you know kind of circle that week 16 against the Bears uh uh but other than that uh I I really don’t want the Lions defense uh you know I don’t know we we might find that you kind of alluded to San Francisco you know are they trending down you know with with p’s injury and if they’re you know out of the playoffs or you know or you know by week 17 if they’re if they’re really not in it anymore you know they’re probably going to sit mcaffrey to risk you know another injury let him be healthy in the off season you know maybe P’s on the Shelf yeah maybe you do want to face San Francisco in week 17 so right now I’d say no but uh I know I can see that situation going downhill for the 49ers and you know that might be something that you’d want to take advantage of you know maybe uh a few weeks from now let’s see what what the next few weeks bring for the ners yeah okay yeah that’s a fair response I think if you are the Lions owner you definitely need a a contingency for week 15 at least yes so you know obviously like the Ravens make a ton of sense there we talked a little bit about um the Cardinals the Falcons like if you have the the Lions DST get one of those other defenses so you could start them in week 15 yeah you you definitely don’t want to go out in the first round of your playoffs you know because you you stuck with your Lions defense against Buffalo yeah same with the bills the bills honestly you just find I think we don’t we can insert the same response I think you the same thing we just said for the Lions the same thing for the bills you find an alternative for their game in week 15 on the road against Detroit but then they have the the Patriots and the Jets which I think are both winnable matchups for the bills yeah um let’s jump down to Houston Houston is another widely owned defense that’s a little bit matchup dependent but they do have a lot of good matchups they have the Dolphins Chiefs and Ravens I could say for sure you could drop them it’s okay I mean uh they’re they’re okay to play I think they have um Jacksonville this week which is not terrible uh for Houston but if you already locked up a playoff spot go get those other defenses yeah you know and and I think we just have to acknowledge you know for for all of us this is scary to do you know you think about it you know you go all year you you count on a defense like you know Houston or Pittsburgh you know some of these defenses we’re talking about and then we’re telling you drop them for the playoffs you know they got you here and now you’re saying you know drop them and you’re streaming being defenses where if you you know you everyone’s got ranks and you look at these the ranks in some of these defenses you’re dropping a top five or six defense for a you know 20 22nd rank defense that that’s a scary proposition to do in the playoffs but you know lot that’s hard to do and I think we should at least acknowledg that but you know it’s the right call I mean in many cases is it’s the right call to do yeah let’s get into the Bears the Bears have the Vikings lions and then SE Seattle uh they do have the Seattle Seahawks at home I know it’s Road Golf and they do have it in Chicago which is nice uh dust seems a little too risky for my blood especially at Minnesota as well honestly I don’t think I’d feel comfortable really starting um the Bears maybe week 17 against Seattle at home but I don’t know if I’m rolling the dice with against the Detroit because they can run the football yeah yeah I I agree yeah that’s that’s that’s another wait and see for week seven versus Seattle that might be one where you know they might be available on the wire and you can plug them in at the you know at the week 15 or week 16 you can plug them in and hold them just in case Seattle falls out of it and you know they’re not really playing for much in week 17 that might be a situation I might I might uh go for but other than that yeah I’m probably staying away let’s do two more we have the eagles they have the Steelers commanders Dallas you know I I don’t know I know the Eagles defense is playing really well Pittsburgh I don’t know I think people might have figured out the Russell Wilson thing a little bit he hasn’t looked necessarily amazing the last two weeks um but he’s fine they’re at home against the Steelers and they’re in they’re in washing uh in yeah guess they’re in DC against the commanders and then they have the Cowboys and I think they have the Cowboys number personally yeah um I’m not overly concerned about Cooper Rush especially at home so I think there is a where you could start the Eagles in weeks 15 and 17 what’s your thoughts there yeah and this is a one of those ones where again on paper it may look like you want to go a different way but if if I have the Eagles I’m I’m going to probably roll with them I may give myself an option uh because again there are some just really nice matchups for other teams but uh I’m probably going to hang with Philly I mean they’re just they you you watch that team and they can put pressure on the quarterback I mean their front four is really push it really generating a lot of push right now and getting to the quarterback and making life miserable and I mean we just saw Dallas really put um Jaden Daniels kind of keep him in check and you know Dallas is no no Philly so uh I I I feel less concerned if I’m the Philly defense owner going to the playoffs but I still want to consider consider you know just having some options if if necessary so it sounds like to me that the Eagles might be the conf most confident defense heading into the playoffs yeah to me uh from the ones we’ve talked about to me um I think they are they’re they’re the ones I would have the most confidence in uh but that’s just one that’s one out of the 32 that you know that frankly you know we feel pretty comfortable well somewhat comfortable going into the playoffs with everyone else you were looking to mix a match yeah yeah and Frizzle how you doing good to see you what’s up man he just brought this up too by the way you have catch the beginning of the show we broke down the Cardinals we’re Cardinals are one of the teams we’re recommending you pick up for the playoff push uh they have the Patriots and Panthers the first two weeks which is a really nice beginning to your playoff schedule we don’t necessarily recommend just the Cardinals if you pick up the Cardinals you need to pair them with somebody like the Colts for example who have the Giants in week 17 which is a much more advantageous matchup but the Arizona defense is good and that’s the perfect type of Defense to pair with another one to get you do your playoffs the last one I want to talk about is the Chargers they have the Bucks the Broncos and then they finish with the Patriots now the Patriots matchup uh for the Chargers is at New England Y and then their home against Tampa and Denver I mean this is one where I don’t think I’m that confident in that schedule your thoughts yeah I agree yeah I I don’t I don’t certainly don’t love it uh you know in a really deep league and I have the Chargers then okay I’m going to roll them out but uh there’s another one where uh you you want to look the mix and match we we talked you know for instance pairing the Chargers and the Cardinals makes a lot of sense we just spoke about the Cardinals that makes a lot of sense G having some options with the Cardinals in week 15 and 16 and then the Chargers in 17 so uh I I do like them and if if they’re if they happen to you know owner releases them and they’re on the wire then I’m I’m certainly going to look to add them uh as as a my my pair um but U again not a defense that I want to go into the playoffs you know with them as my only defense yeah you can’t rely on them against the Bucks and Denver is has been really good uh I I it is nice that they’re home against Denver because B Nicks plays a lot better at home versus on the road so that’s good um being on the East Coast against New England worries me a little bit uh in week 17 but at the same time the Chargers also might be dropped in a lot of leagues they had a brew they have a brutal schedule heading into the playoffs at Atlanta then they have in they’re in at Kansas City so uh you I don’t recommend playing them against Tampa but if you could pick up a team like the Cardinals or the Falcons to start the maybe the the first two
