START ‘EM

There really isn’t anyone on the Jets roster that I’d run into your starting lineup this week, but if you’re needing an option, the defense and special teams is your best bet. While only projected by ESPN to put up 5.2 points this week, the Jets defense has been a pretty good unit this year.

In week one, they dominated with 25 points in ESPN leagues. They followed that up with a ten spot in week two. The 5.2 projection isn’t high, but considering Taylor has thrown two interceptions and been sacked a whopping ten times already, the New York D might make more noise than expected.

The Browns aren’t exactly a juggernaut offensively (as we all know) and the Jets have held their opponents to 20 points or under in their first two games. While there might be BETTER options to start on defense this week, the Jets defense isn’t a bad option by any means.
