Bears pass defense isn't that bad
As Lance Moore owners like myself debate whether to start him at Chicago despite his recent downturn, keep this in mind: Chicago's pass defense isn't as bad you think.
Yes, it's "ranked" 28th in pass defense. But that's quite misleading. It's faced the most attempts in the league, and is actually ninth in net yards-per-attempt allowed. It has intercepted 19 passes, which is second in the league. Add it all up, and the Bears are a slightly tougher than average allowing fantasy points.
Throw in Drew Brees' relative struggles on the road (7 TDs, 10 INTs, lots of yards), and a weather forecast that will be below freezing with 10-15 MPH winds, and the Saints passing attack is unlikely to go bonkers.
They are still the Saints. Yards and lots of attempts will happen. The Bears are still easier to throw against than run, and Sean Payton usually doesn't need a big excuse to ditch the run game. My initial rankings have Colston and Moore as cautious WR2 options. There just aren't many better plays out there. In my big league, a non PPR, the debate is between Moore, Vincent Jackson (at Kansas City), and Marvin Harrison (vs. Cincy). Let's go to the polls...
Comments
In a non-PPR, I think it's almost a tossup between Harrison and VJax. Because of the weather and NO being on the road, I don't like Moose as much as usual.
Harrison and VJax are, I think, more likely to get a TD. I picked Harrison in your poll but could see it argued for VJax just as easily. Good luck. jim

I like Henderson over Moore.

I'm in dire need of help, and any would be appreciated.
For a flex position, would you start P.Thomas (RB-NO) or C.Johnson (WR-DET)? It's a non-PPR league with identical points for rushing & receiving yardage and TDs.
Thanks everyone.

Hi. I love you so much. Great place to visit. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Tanning bed. I found only this - pro sun Tanning beds. I hate that orange fake tank look yuk. Moderation when it comes to uv light from either the sun or a tanning. THX :rolleyes:, Genevieve from Qatar.
