Eagles Defense A Top-Tier Option In Week 17
2 years agoThe Philadelphia Eagles' defense will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 17. Last week against Dallas, the Eagles gave up their highest point total of the season. However, they still generated six sacks, two turnovers, scored their first touchdown since Week 1, and finished tied for the eight-most fantasy points scored in Week 16. Even after giving up 40 points, the Philadelphia defense finished as a top-10 fantasy option. This week, they get to host New Orleans. The Saints are ranked 22nd in points scored this season and have turned the ball over 23 times, the fourth-highest total in the league. While they have done a good job keeping their quarterback upright, the Saints' offense has struggled to score this year and has made plenty of mistakes against top-tier defenses. Philadelphia is unlikely to allow 40 points to be put up on them this week and should generate a turnover or two. Consider them a mid-range top-12 option, at the very least, in Week 17.
