TEAM DEFENSES

  1. Chiefs, KC (vs. DEN) - Defenses have combined to score the second-most fantasy points against Drew Lock and the Broncos this season.
  2. Dolphins, MIA (vs. CIN) - The Dolphins defense should find success at home against backup quarterback Brandon Allen and the Bengals this week.
  3. Steelers, PIT (vs. WAS)
  4. Ravens, BAL (vs. DAL) - The Cowboys have been a great matchup for fantasy defenses, and they're offensive line is chock full of injuries.
  5. Packers, GB (vs. PHI)
  6. Seahawks, SEA (vs. NYG)
  7. Bears, CHI (vs. DET)
  8. Vikings, MIN (vs. JAC)

  20. Texans, HOU (vs. IND)
  21. Falcons, ATL (vs. NO) - Atlanta's defense put up 28 fantasy points last week, but I wouldn't chase the points this week against the Saints.
