Some of you guys may or may not care about fantasy football, but I've been playing it for around 12 years now and for the past 7 years no one has expected our defense to do anything, and people have routinely started players that were going to be playing us expecting huge point totals.....not anymore

Now people are reluctant to start there "studs" against us and are running to the waiver wire to pick up our defense. Move this thread if you must mods, but I just wanted to say that its been a looooooooong time since I've see this happen

Niners D got 39 points on Yahoo fantasy football this week, which is an ungodly amount. Would I pick them up as a starter? No, I don't think they are that good yet. Would I pick them up the next time we play the Rams? Hells yeah

Well I started them over the Jets D and they got me 39 points, so..........

Oh,and I started them every week since week 1 and they've done just fine. I'm 3-1 in my fantasy so far and my only loss is by 1.5 points last week. I also have Davis and Gore! Go niners!!!!!!!

I only picked em up this week but will keep em(and probably play em) for quite a while. They were monsters today! I'm probably gonna play em next week against the Falcons. I have Matt Ryan but may sit him. I like the 9ers D since Atl is flying cross country!
