The Ten Best Rush Defenses

Man, this season has been tough for RB Joseph Addai, and now he has to run into a fearsome Baltimore rush defense.  The Ravens haven't allowed more than 73 yards rushing in any game.  I'm glad I was taking Marion barber in the same area others were taking Addai.  He's got to wait another week for a chance at redeming his Top 5 ADP.

The Chicago Bears will get to show the football world that the NFL's leading rusher, michael Turner, cannot effectively run against good defenses.  Turner has been stunning at home and that may be what many pundits concentrate on, but not me.   Turner has to prove his mettle against good defenses.

The Ten Best Rush Defenses:

RankTeamRYAVs
1 Baltimore 58 @IND
2 Minnesota 59.3 DET
3 Chicago 68 @ATL
4 Pittsburgh 68.7 BYE
5 Miami 69.5 @HOU
6 Washington 72.7 STL
7 NY Jets 74.5 CIN
8 New Orleans 80 OAK
9 NY Giants 88 CLE
10 Carolina 90.7 @TB

I dunno...

… if these are the “best” in any real sense, especially for predicting how well your fantasy RBs will do this week.

For example, Baltimore is only holding teams to half a yard less per carry than against its other opponents. Minnesota and Carolina, on the other hand, are holding opponents to 1.1 YPC less. You’d probably rather start your RB against Baltimore than the other two, all things being equal.
