Which Defense for week 16?

[drunkenmiester 1]

Negative points for your defense giving up 20 plus points.  SF against the Titans tonight, who have now lost 3 starting offensive lineman or the Chargers against the Texans without Bosa but the Texans may be without Cooks.  Finally, covid is hitting the Chargers hard so no idea how many more defensive players will go down between now and Sunday, so leaning SF.  What is everyone else's thoughts?

Texans have a lot of missing part because of covid also, I would probably stick with Niners.  

Dolphins available?

I was just thinking about posting the same question.

 

About 45 minutes ago, NBC Sports edge said the Texans added 6 more players to the Covid list.

Texans placed RT Tytus Howard, C Justin Britt, DE Jordan Jenkins, DL Roy Lopez, S Eric Murray, and CB Lonnie Johnson on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
That makes 21 total Texans on the list. If Houston's game against the Chargers isn't postponed or moved, Houston will be using defensive linemen that were literally signed off the street this week. It's grim that we have to say this, but whether it's Austin Ekeler, Justin Jackson, or Larry Rountree, someone appears likely to feast on the Texans front seven this week. 

That makes the Chargers look even more attractive. I'm considering them as well.

 

I have Dallas plugged in right now. This is based on what they've done the last 3 weeks.

None of those 3 are anything close to an offensive juggernaut, but it's still pretty impressive.

Now they get Washington at home.

 

Also thinking about the Chiefs.

 Kind of weird that they gave up 9 points in each of the previous 3 home games.

Now they get the Steelers at home. The Steelers offense has only given up 2-6-4 points to the opposing defense the last 3 weeks, but the ravens Vikings and titans aren't considered great defenses either. 

 

So many decisions.

Thanks china

Cowboys and Eagles and Dolphins are my three currently, I was thinking about the Chargers, but like the Texans they have been having an outbreak of covid also.  

[drunkenmiester 1]

Cowboys, Eagles and Dolphins are all rostered.  I had decided to go SF, but somehow didn't get the submit button pressed, so riding with the Chargers.  Plus side is, I will start SF next week since the have the Texans.
