Axe Elf will now help you win your league. The New York Jets' defense is probably available on your waiver wire as a free agent today.  Pick them up.  Even if you're sporting the Patriots or the 49ers or the Bears right now (well, especially the Bears, since they are going into their bye this week)--make room, cut some dead weight, do whatever you have to do to add the New York Jets to your roster. That should be all that any serious student of the Elf Institute needs to hear, but some of the mouth-breathing frat boys might need to have things spelled out a little more clearly, so here goes... The Jets are widely available because they currently rank 10th among fantasy defenses with 43 fantasy points and they just had their bye--but--they just had their bye.  That means that their 43 fantasy points were amassed in only FOUR weeks, compared to most other teams who have been scoring points for FIVE weeks.  If you prorate the Jets' 43 points to five weeks, they should have 54 points--which would rank them 4th in the NFL behind the Patriots, Bears, and 49ers. And they haven't been playing cupcake offenses, either.  I mean they haven't been facing KILLER offenses, but they've been legitimate--the Patriots, the Eagles, Buffalo and Cleveland.  If you average those four teams' current offensive ranks(11, 12, 23, 24), they would be at 17.5, which is right around the middle of the 32-team NFL pack. But they WILL be facing cupcake offenses...  After the next 3-game stretch against Dallas (#1), New England (#11) and Jacksonville (#6), the Jets close out the fantasy season against the Giants (#15), Miami (#31), Washington (#28), Oakland (#21), Cincinnati (#26), Miami (#31), Baltimore (#3), and Pittsburgh (#29).  Even with that game against Baltimore in there, that's an average of #23 for those 8 teams (and an average of #26 without Baltimore).  The Jets don't score a lot of points themselves on offense, so opposing teams don't have to race to outscore them--the Jets' D benefits from a lot of teams just running out the clock against them. So if you can carry 2 Ds through the next three weeks, then you'll have the Jets past their bye ready to start for you the rest of the season.  And like I said, even if you have one of the three defenses that are currently doing better than the Jets, those teams all have tough matchups coming up in weeks where the Jets could bail you out.  The Patriots have a Week 10 bye when the Jets play the Giants, and they play Dallas (#1), Kansas City (#2) and Buffalo (#12) down the playoff stretch in Weeks 12, 14 and 16, when the Jets have Oakland, Miami and Pittsburgh.  The Bears have a TERRIBLE schedule from Week 10 on--Detroit (#8), the Rams (#5), the Giants (#15), Detroit (#8), Dallas (#1), Green Bay (#25), and Kansas City (#2).  San Francisco also has a brutal schedule through the fantasy playoff run, closing their season against Baltimore, New Orleans, Atlanta and the Rams in Weeks 13-16. So run with the Jets as your sole defense, or use them to shore up the holes in the schedule of another top defense, but get them now while you can.  Oh, and even if you don't like their game with Baltimore in Week 15--Miami is playing the Giants that week; they will almost certainly be available for a Week 15 band-aid.  (And if you're carrying the Patriots or Bears, their Week 15 matchups are playable instead of the Jets against Baltimore.) You're welcome.
