I can start ATL (@NE), or pick up
Dallas (v. Carolina)
Denver (@Oak)
The Boys' D has stunk so far, but I'm leaning that way anyway. Thoughts?

Re: Week 3 D

I'm not sure why Dallas would suddenly get it together in week 3. There is a lot of uncertainty around all those matchups, but I'd actually be tempted to go with Denver. JR is so inaccurate I wouldn't be surprised if his passes missed the Earth. Oakland's rushing attack is okay, but will see a lot of eight man fronts. It seems certain to be a low scoring game with good potential for picks and sacks. But you never know which Oakland is going to show up on any given Sunday.
New England's offense looks pretty hobbled by all their WR injuries. But I agree that Denver seems like the best bet, especially because of more chances of turnovers/sacks.
For fantasy purposes he is, though Delhomme's not getting much help from his O-line or his receivers. In real life, Russell is worse - he's so inaccurate that the defenders aren't even in a position to catch his passes.
Anyway, I went with Denver. Dallas was worth more, thanks to the late pick-6, but I still squeaked out the victory.

I agree. Denver doesn't have a great D, but you could do a lot worse than starting whichever D plays against Russell every week.

Re: Week 3 D
Looks like either Denver or Dallas were good plays this week--26 or 29 points respectively. Is Delhomme playing at JRussell's level?!
