Better D to keep ROS - Lions or Eagles?

[CajunBadger 10]

I benched the Eagles D (24.04 points week 4) last week for the Lions D (29.28 points week 4) lol.  Unless Lamar plays, I need to drop one of them to pick up a K for this week.

I really like keeping a dominant D and only picking up a streaming D if/when the matchup is really bad.  This week the Lions @Bengals look to be the better of the two..but are the Lions the better option than the Eagles ROS too?  

...and see my update below in Post #4...thanks!!

Its really close. Unless it's a 12 team league then you'll probably do better streaming every week, but if not interested in streaming then I'd probably go Philly. It's close 

The strength of schedule is very similar

Thanks!  Yeah, I try to keep a D if it's considered dominant and can go most weeks.  I then pick up a streamer only if the matchup is clearly a bad one..  Just streaming every week is too much of a headache imo - I find some of the highly recommended streaming Ds end up being fools gold 

Hmm, if they're close maybe I should keep the Lions since they're at the Bungles this week whereas the Eagles are vs DEN?  Course next week might already be looking for a streamer, *sigh*!

But again, appreciate all your suggestions and I may end up just streaming after this week, lol

And of course, going to complicate things..  I figured I'd probably start and consider keeping the LIons over the Eagles since they scored 29 last week for me. 

My opponent just dropped the Seahawks for the Cardinals!  Seahawks have been really dominant too (3 weeks of 20+ points) and I'm thinking I could roll with them for a few weeks if not longer.  But they'd be going against TB (I'm envisioning Baker scrambling, completing passes, etc and burning the Seahawk defense even with Bucky and Mike Evans out). 

Should I even be considering the Seahawks this week over the Lions??  Thanks!!

I like the Seattle defense a lot but I don't see a huge gap between Philly, Detroit and Seattle. The strength of schedule may be slightly better for Seattle but it's a crap shoot IMO.

I know it's opponent dependent, but the Seahawks have an average of 22 points/game!  They've been dominant most every game getting sacks, turnovers, etc.. 

But I'm thinking I should go with the "safer" Lions D..they're only averaging 16.44 points but had 3 tough opponents before the Browns in week 4..

Thanks
