In a league that loves offense and continues to make rules to help offenses, there isn’t a lot of love for defenses anymore and that has infiltrated the fantasy world. I’m not saying it’s right because I know many of you love watching a great defensive battle with scores in the teens, but the powers that be believe scoring drives the popularity of the league, so the rules are adjusted as such.
That’s why I have a tough time getting too into fantasy defenses. They don’t have a major bearing on whether your team wins or loses and if they do, it’s because they likely scored a touchdown or two, which are impossible to predict.
