Week 2 Defense (DEF) Banners, Entries and Standings: 2019 Fantasy Levels, Rankings

Defenses of week 2 to start and flow: levels and rankings

Typically, the first three levels are the DSTs you should target, with level 4 being deep league options and level 5 being despair games or good defenses in appalling battles.

Back for this year: Confidence rating – The DST scores of each league being different, the projections do not always have much sense. The trust rating indicates how much I like one team over another instead of a straight point projection. A zero means "do not start", then trust increases. I consider many factors here: injuries to the opponent, advantage on the ground, weather, etc. The first few weeks when I have less data, it is clear that the defense staff and the fighting are more important.

Level 1 Defenses

Speaking of these dolphins, the Ravens absolutely decimated them during the first week and their defense had the dominant air of doing it. It will be a tougher test for them in the second week, but not much. The Cardinals offense seemed anemic for nearly three-quarters of the first week, and I do not think rookie quarterback Kyler Murray will produce for four quarters in his second NFL game. David Johnson can still do damage, but not enough to defeat Ravens here. I do not think it's too early to say we can face the Dolphins this season, but with the Patriots dominating the Steelers all night on Sunday? This is a pretty easy call for first place this week. Ryan Fitzpatrick is always good for two turnovers, his offensive line is shady and the Dolphins seem determined not to let Kenyan Drake play. Do not think too much.

Level 2 Defenses

The Panthers and Buccaneers have outlined the dreaded match Thursday night this week, and I think it gives a game poor performance. The big thing for the Panthers here is that Jameis Winston turns the ball as if it was a hobby …by ESPN Stats Winston has just overtaken Blake Bortles for the most interceptions since entering the league thanks to his 17th (!) Match with multiple interceptions. I think the Panthers trained them in a home game, which gave them a great reward, comparable to what the Bucs offered to the 49ers in the first week.

This week-long game between Bills and Jets was ugly, but he proved to me that the defense of the Bills was very real. Although they did not impose any turnaround on Sam Darnold, they harassed him throughout the game, finishing with four sacks and keeping second place at just 175 yards and a single score. I'm expecting the Bills to use a very similar game plan against the Giants in the second week, focusing on controlling Saquon Barkley and forcing Eli Manning and the exhausted giant receiver corps to beat their second. goal.

Defenses of the intermediate and lower levels

Level 3 Defenses

The Browns' defense was at the rendezvous in the first week against the Titans: swing and miss. The Titans put 35 points on this talented defense (on paper) and, while the Browns did not cash four bags, this type of score placed them in negative points in many formats. They will have a chance of redemption against the Jets, whose offense has hardly inspired much confidence. The Veon Bell was bottled against the Bills, but the Browns were decimated by Derrick Henry during the first week. They will have to prove that they can cope with a beatable opponent before returning to my first two ranks. Beginning this week, but expect you to wait. The talented Chargers defender certainly disappointed in the first week against a Colts attack that many had written off without Andrew Luck under center. However, the loss of All-Pro safety, Derwin James, will be felt as long as he stays on the shelves, and he will certainly miss him against the Lions. They accumulated more than 450 meters of attack during the first week. Kenny Golladay, the unpublished weapon T.J. Hockenson and the dynamic Kerryon Johnson provide Matthew Stafford enough weapons to knock the Chargers out of my top 10 this week.

Level 4 Defenses

The Seahawks staged a poor outing against a Bengal team that they would probably have had to beat further, and they are now in an interesting position on the road to Pittsburgh. In the first week, the Steelers offense generated only three points, 308 total yards, including 32 rushing yards. So what gives here? Did Ben Roethlisberger, James Conner and JuJu Smith-Schuster find a solution, or did the Seahawks sold to seven organize themselves to close and close them? I bet a bit on both, and that will give an average performance for the DST Seahawks.

The 49ers may have had the best performance of Day 1 summer time thanks in large part to Jameis Winston and the Bucs offense with four turnovers and three sacks. I do not buy them as Dream DST, despite this performance, and I think they're returning to mediocrity this week against the Bengals. Joe Mixon is struggling with a sprained ankle and may not be ready for the second week, but Gio Bernard will replace the workaholic position and Andy Dalton will meet Tyler Boyd, John Ross and his co. for more than 400 meters. The 49ers only play in the deep leagues.
