The Process
Before I look at Week 11, it is important to see if my process was successful. Here is a recap of last week’s recommendations. If you need a refresher on what to look for when analyzing defenses, read the first few paragraphs of Streaming Defenses — Week 2 article.
Defense | Sacks | Fumbles | Interceptions | Touchdowns | Points | Week 10 Rank |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Saints D | 2 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 15 | T-1st |
Raiders D | 2 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 15 | T-1st |
Packers D | 3 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 7 | 8th |
Our top two streaming options this week both finished as the top-scoring defenses for the week! The New Orleans Saints smothered Nick Mullens while the Las Vegas Raiders forced a Drew Lock meltdown to the tune of four interceptions on the day. The Green Bay Packers were also a solid defensive option. Unfortunately, they weren’t able to get more turnovers in a day that featured wind gusts up to 50 mph.
The RotoViz Pace App and Strength of Schedule Streaming App proved to be predictive last week and we’ll be looking at those again this week. Let’s keep the momentum going into this week.
