Best Playoff Defense - Drop Saints for 49ers?

Waiver Wire
1

I have the Dolphins and Saints Defenses. I will play the Dolphins vs Jets in Week 15.
The following Defenses are available – 49ers, Eagles, Bengals, Colts.
A manager just dropped the 49ers!!!

What’s the best Defense for the Week 15-17 Playoffs:
Dolphins vs Jets (YES!!!), Saints, Titans
Saints vs Bucs (NO!!!), Dolphins, Panthers (YES !!!)
49ers vs Falcons (YES !!!), Titans, Texans (YES!!!)
Bengals vs Broncos, Ravens, Chiefs (NO!!!)
Colts vs Patriots (NO !!!) , Cardinals (NO!!!), Raiders

Should I drop the Saints for the 49ers?

Do you agree that these moves don’t make sense:
Should I drop my 5th WR Christian Kirk for the 49ers?
Should I drop my Chubb handcuff D’Ernest Johnson for the 49ers?
Should I drop my Fournette handcuff Ronald Jones II Johnson for the 49ers?

You absolutely should.

And once you did, I would consider dropping the Dolphins for the Bengals.
You can then play:
Week 15: 49ers (vs Falcons)
Week 16: Bengals (vs Ravens)
Week 17: 49ers (vs Texans)

Another manager picked up the 49ers before I did.
I will play the Dolphins vs Jets (Week 15)

So now I’m left with whether to drop the Saints and pick up the:
Eagles vs WFT (???), Giants (Yes!!!), WFT (???)
Bengals vs. Broncos, Ravens (Yes!!!), Chiefs (No!!!)

Appreciate your thoughts

Another manager picked up the Eagles and dropped the Seahawks.
I will play the Dolphins vs Jets (Week 15)

So now I’m left with whether to drop the Saints and pick up the:
Seahawks vs Rams (NO!!!), Bears (YES!!!), Lions (YES!!!)
Bengals vs. Broncos, Ravens (Yes!!!), Chiefs (No!!!)

That’s bad. You missed the second most overperforming DST that also has the best fantasy playoff schedule of all NFL teams.

I’d pick up the Eagles then. They are not a fantastic option by any means, but they are startable on all 3 fantasy weekends. The Football Team (11th best opponent) is actually a slightly better matchup than the Giants (13th best opponent).

So of the 4 available teams, your options are:
Week 15: MIA > PHI > CIN >>> NO
Week 16: CIN > PHI > NO >> MIA
Week 17: NO > PHI > MIA >> CIN

I now own the Dolphins (Week 15 start), Bengals (Week 16 start) and Saints (Week 17 start)…

The Seahawks Defense is now available on waivers until Saturday, 12/18.
The Seahawks play the Rams (NO!!!), Bears (YES!!!), Lions (YES!!!)

Should I drop the Bengals or Saints to pick up the Seahawks?
I cannot drop the Dolphins on Saturday because I must play them on Sunday.

Week 16 - Should I play the Seahawks instead of the Bengals?
Week 17 - Should I play the Seahawks instead of the Saints?
