Do I dump the Falcons D since they will be on bye this week and pick up Cowboys or Packers, or do I dump somebody else from my roster to pick up a D?

2Derek Garman (500 Reputation Points)I think you keep the Falcons D and try and drop someone else from the roster if you just need to get by this week. The Falcons have a fairly easy schedule, especially considering they play in the NFC South. You may regret allowing someone else in your league to benefit from you dropping them this week.1 Comment↳Stephen Yeager (500 Reputation Points)Good analysis, Derek. +1

0Andy Cochrane (110 Reputation Points)I would personally consider dropping the Falcons D and going with matchups. Unless you have a truly elite D you want to keepin a bye the waiver wire can often be the best place to pick one up. Of course it depends on if there is a really good offensive player on the WW you prize over carrying 2 DST. If not keep them.

0Ryan Windley (500 Reputation Points)I am in the same situation and I think I'm going to hold on to them for their consistency. I had them as my 3rd ranked D and they haven't disappointed with the exception of Week 4. Problem is most of my team is on bye next week so my plan to drop Meachem may change if he does decent tonight

0Kacee Giger (624 Reputation Points)It depends on who you have on your roster, but I would normally lean towards just dumping the Falcons defense. It would be one thing if you had an elite defense like Chicago, but I think you can do as well as Atlanta by just picking one week be week (of course, there's a good chance the Falcons' defense will be there to pick up after the bye anyway).
