Something is off about defensive scoring. Pitt had 2 fumble recoveries, a pick and a sack, give up 24 pts and they only score 7 pts?

I have them in my nfl.com league and they scored 10 there. 

Only 3 points off.  We are playing by Yahoo rosters and rules and it's made for most teams to be in The Hunt.  Yahoo not off from your other league that much, 3 points. 

Anyway, I made a change on my Josh Allen bye week QB this week.  I've had Sam Darnold for week 12, but Tua became available to use my #3 waiver spot on.  Darnold at Chicago Bears Defense and Tua at home in Miami against Patriots Defense.  Darnold has been on the down slide and Tua back from injury is getting hot.  In draft, I certainly would have taken Tua over Darnold.  I pulled the trigger on this move.  Yahoo has Bob Jones scoring 110 and I was under 100, but now up to 107 with a few moves.  Over the seasons I still have worst ranking of all 12 players. I'm doing everything to make my first play-offs.   A win over Bob Jones puts me at 8-4 on the season, but it won't be easy.  Yahoo has us at 110 to 107 in his favor, the highest scoring match-up projection of the week.   Adding Tua moved me up to 107.   If I get to 8-4, it will be worth using that #3 waiver spot on, Tua replacing Josh Allen, not Sam Darnold.  Tua at home and Darnold on the road played into it.  The Bears Defense at home and Chicago wind factored in against Darnold.  This could backfire, but playing the percentages, I had to go with Tua at Home in what could be vacation weather Miami. Also Darnold has not been hitting Jefferson as other Vikings QB's, but Tua has hit Hill big time over the years, they have the timing connection.
