We’re starting to find a bit of a consistent groove of late, after another week with six of the top 10 correct. Some of those picks, like the Browns, Ravens, and Patriots were not entirely bold calls. However, I was one of the few people to rank the Saints inside the top 10, and they finished with 11 points as they 7th-ranked defense on the week.
The other big win was that I kept the Rams and Texans in tier two despite them having matchups that put them outside the top 10 consensus rankings. The Rams finished as the #1 defense, and the Texans were 6th. It’s just another reminder that really good defenses should just stay in your lineup because, at worst, they provide a safe floor. As of now, I think those two defenses, plus the Browns, Patriots, and Broncos, are probably the six defenses
