Hot Spots: Team Defense

This exclusive 4for4 report published Tuesday November 25, 2014. Data through NFL Week 12.

Planning which team defense to use often results in an edge.

However, it can often be a time consuming task when done from scratch. This report is intended to help save you time and simplify the process. Having just one or two extra favorable matchups can often result in you walking off with a championship.

Tip: To fully optimize your planning, examine teams on your roster and on the waiver wire as well when developing your week-to-week look ahead plan.
