New Orleans D/ST Should Be Avoided Against Rams
2 months agoThe New Orleans Saints D/ST recorded three sacks and held the Browns to 14 points in Week 11 but failed to force a turnover for just the second time this season. The mediocre result does not inspire confidence as the team comes out of their bye to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. The matchup carries an over/under of 49.5, with the Rams getting an implied total of 26 points. Since wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua returned from injury in Week 8, Los Angeles has averaged 23.8 points per game. New Orleans will be hard-pressed to keep the Rams' offense in check and show little promise to balance that out from a fantasy perspective via sacks and turnovers. New Orleans ranks in the bottom ten in pressure rate and sack conversion rate and they have only two takeaways in their last four games. Fantasy managers should leave the Saints D/ST out of starting lineups for Week 13.
