Stout Defenses Weeks 15 & 16

[The Shepherd]

This is an important factor for me when drafting my big guns in rounds 1 and 2, because I plan to be in our play-offs, which take place these 2 weeks. But based on last year's performance (against running backs - because that's the critical measure 'm looking at), and modified by off-season acquisitions (ie Takeo Spikes), which teams will be weak sisters - thus boosting whose stock? I think Rudi, Gore, and Addai look pretty good; on the other hand, Parker and Alexander don't look like they have picnics planned in these critical weeks. I know this is hard to predict so far out, but it helps tip the scales when picking in the 3-8 spots. What do you think?

Yes, and pretty big.
