2007 Weekly Defensive Matchups
|
These are NOT the weeks that you should play each D. They are the weeks that the D has a good or bad matchup. So when the Ravens play Cincy - Bad Week. When the Texans play Cleveland - Good Week. But you still shouldn't play the Texans, of course. You can use these lists to:
 Plan for Bye Weeks - If you kept a D, or you just drafted one, look for a backup D with a good matchup during your starter's bye week.
Backup your keeper D - If you're keeping Pittsburgh D, you probably feel pretty good about yourself. But if you check out the Bad list, you'll see that they have tough matchups for fantasy-crucial weeks 13, 14 and 16. So maybe you want to invest a little more in a backup D, preferably one with better matchups.
Find two compatible D's - Say you're going into the draft planning to get either Denver D or Philly D. Take a look at the Bad Weeks for both, so you can target backups with corresponding Good weeks.
Trust us - Denver D is pretty good, but you won't want to play them on the road against the Colts or Chargers. The Vikings play Green Bay and Washington those weeks, for example.
Target playoff D's - So, you like to plan ahead. Why not see who has good late-season matchups? Since you're a QBallers reader, you're a total lock for the playoffs. Some lower level D's like Buffalo, Tampa and the Giants have some great matchups for the usual playoff weeks.
