If you are planning to score against the fender and you are playing us, if we think your team is a threat we will be sending a defender to sit in front of the fender and force you to take a lower percentage shot.
I agree with Adam here.
Great fender defense is very possible.

Often times, the greatest defenders have yet to show until CMP, since they spend most of their matches at regionals on the other side scoring instead.

If I spent all match parked at a fender waiting to watch a specific bot, it will not be free reign getting to the spot on the fender first.
