Here is a fantasy question from one of our readers;
I have San Diego's D vs. Indy this week, I also have Arizona's D on my bench (vs. Det), Should I pick up Atlanta's D vs. a struggling Carolina?

Well Paul thanks for the question, after what Minnesota and Adrian Peterson did to the Chargers last week coupled with the fact that Indy's O, without Marvin Harrison didn't miss a beat against the Pats, I'm benching SD. Statistically Arizona is the better defense they are ranked #9 in total yards allowed. Detroit is a passing threat and Arizona allows only 194 yards per game through the air and has allowed only 9 TDs through the air. Atlanta is ranked #19 in total yards allowed, but I would be very tempted to play the Falcons D against the Panthers who may have to start rookie QB Matt Moore because of injuries to David Carr (concussion) and Grandpa Vinny T (achilles). I'm going to go out on a limb with Atlanta who has given up less total points (151) then Arizona (168) and caused more turnovers (16) to Arizona's 9. i would cut Arizona to pick up Atlanta. Good Luck Paul.
