Week 1 advice Yahoo League D/ST???

[Skin'EmAll]

In another league....
I have Steelers D/ST - projected 20pts.Yet the Redskins are projected to do 24pts.
Obviously the Steelers are the better play, they may even do better than projected. However I thought about Philly having a rookie LT, going against Kerrigan and Orakpo.

Indy/NE are already taken....Should I chance it or go with the safe play of the Steelers unleashing Hell on Locker?

We kinda know how bad the Titans are. We don't really know what the Eagles are yet.

you could convince me not to jump off a roof.

...I guess once again, gotta go with the smart pick, thanks. lol

 

[TREFF]

Well don't jump. . but yes Steelers are a safer bet until we see just how this "magic" Chip Kelly offense works..or doesn't work.

I picked up the Steelers in 2 leagues just for this week...............can't pick them up in another league and rolling with the Rams in my last league, yes, I like the Steelers this week.

You all make sense, I'm trying to convince myself that I should go against the grain, the o-line is shaky.
That Chip Kelly will struggle, That philly is weak at WR2/3. My main worry is McCoy.
I'm a 15pt favorite and my opponent is starting Tennessee D/ST.

I guess I should still go Steelers? lol

I think the Redskins D will be much improved this year, but no way I would start them against the Eagles. The Eagles O line was very injured last year and will be a lot better this year. As a Skins fan, I am worried about McCoy, I am worried about the fast pace, I am worried about the Skins' secondary, but most of all I am worried about a rejuvenated Vick.

There will be a couple sacks and TOs to be had, but this one has shootout written all over it. The only way I see the Skins' D putting up a usable fantasy number is if they get a TD. Steer clear.

Steel curtain.


.... and don't listen to projections from yahoo!

If your opponent has TEN DST, you most defintely should take PIT DST, just cause it's always fun to have a DST showdown in one game.

nobody saw this coming with Pouncey going down...but so far I don't like you guys lol
The Steelers could not touch Locker today...

We are EXPERTS people. Watch the redskins go crazy on D! Kerrigan will be dunking another tipped pass for a TD over the goal post

 

[TKOSpikes]

Sack and a Safety, and only 229 yards given up and only 70 yards ot CJ on 25 carries... sure they don't get TD's or a whole bunch of picks, but that's pretty steady in my book.

I hope they do go crazy on D! Would be great to see.

This game can be maddening sometimes. All you can do is play the percentages. Sometimes they don't work.

I am going to lose 1 of my 2 $ leagues because Miller, Spiller and Gio combined for like 6 points.

Pretty solid D.. anyone expecting much more from their D is a little unrealistic.
