Defensive rankings this week

[dalej]

Although it's early, we probably have enough information to start predicting defensive performance week to week. These rankings are based on points in my league:

DFR - Defensive Fumble Recovered 1 point
DTD - Total Defensive and Special Teams TD 6 points
Int - Interceptions 2 points
PA - Points Against, Total Points Scored 0 points
SACK - Sack 1 point
STY - Safety 2 points
YDS - Yards Allowed 0 - 149 YDSs = 10 points
150 - 199 YDSs = 9 points
200 - 249 YDSs = 8 points
250 - 299 YDSs = 7 points
300 - 349 YDSs = 6 points
350 - 399 YDSs = 5 points


Week 4 Rankings
1. Kansas City
2. Buffalo
3. New England
4. Denver (tie)
4. Pittsburgh (tie)
6. Baltimore (tie)
6. SF (tie)
8. Cleveland
9. Green Bay
10. Minnesota

The rankings are based strictly on numbers... (remember, it is very hard to predict defensive/st tds). If you are looking to pick up a defense, this should only be used as a starting point.

I picked up St Louis' D this week to play against he Cards. My other D is Miami, so I needed one for this week.

Don't let a bye week skew your view of these numbers. Carolina has to be way up that list.

[dalej]

I don't let the bye skew the numbers. Carolina only scored 13 and 8 in our league.

[sleeper]

No points for blocked kicks.

Why is NE so high up? Their defense is severely shorthanded...with WSH wide open offense... they will suffer in week4...

[BrokenLizards]

I agree that Carolina should be up there. So they havent put up the points yet. THEY WILL

[deftdelivery]

Yes, Carolina is far too good a team to count out

[inferno19]

What about Denver? They're playing the interception machine Joey Harrington...hopefully they eat him up.

Did anyone see the title for this msg? This is for this week. CAR is on BYE...
