For real?

You won’t hear me say this very often, but I have no idea what to expect from the defenses of two teams this week. Detroit’s defense held Shaun Alexander and Seattle in check last week just as the Rams did against Denver.

Are these two defenses for real? Honestly I have no clue, but if they’re available in your league (they should be) it might be worth picking one up if you can afford it. My philosophy is “If you think about picking someone up, chances are you should.” Championships are won and lost by players from the free agent pool like Drew Brees a few years ago.

St. Louis made Jake Plummer look silly which is scary considering the Rams have more weapons than Rambo on the other side of the ball. This week’s matchups of St. Louis vs. San Francisco and Detroit vs. Chicago should be real interesting.
