Ryno the Jet Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 I have never played in a league where you use actual players on D. How valuable are they, and why did people draft guys like: Dan Klecko, Justin Miller, etc.? Also, I was not able to draft due to scheduling, so I had to pre-rank. Here is what I ended up with for my 12 team league: QB: VY RB: Addai RB: J. Jones WR: S. Smith WR: T. Holt TE: R. McMichael W/R: Javon Walker K: Mare DB: Rhodes DL: Merriman DL: A. Thomas BN: Eli BN: Leon BN: D. Ware (DL) BN: Ed Reed Am I toast? I have been working feverishly to trade reed for a RB (ala D. Foster), but no dice so far. I did notice there are a handful of DBs still available, which makes Reed's value=poop. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudicus Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 3-4 safeties are a good bet, they are used in run support and blitz more so they rack up more points, try and get a ball hawk corner, there should be plenty since in that format defence is a deep position, 1 pass rusher is enough and since they tend to only have big days against weak OL. Also if there is a corner that's used in the return game as well as on the D, he's bonus points every week. The most important thing you can do is get a MLB, they rack up tackles which is where you get your points, and one behind a weak DL is better since they will be tackling the runner alot (see Ryans last year and Vilma the year before). Mainly keep your eye on the waivers, if you see a guy who's really hot , no matter his name, if he's racking up the tackles, nab him. Cause odds are he's the best guy on a weak D.
