Fantasy Football: The Best Run Defenses

There are nine teams whose rushing yards allowed are better than one standard deviation away from the mean. Of these, four rank amongst the worst in passing yards allowed. Drawing the conclusion one should start or sit a RB needs to be informed by the fact the team has been unable to stop the pass.

The Baltimore Ravens, Tennessee Titans, New Orleans Saints and Buffalo Bills are the "elite" rush defenses with the poor pass defenses. FWIW, the average rushing yards allowed through the first two weeks is 117 with a standard deviation of 50.
