New Orleans D/ST Should Be Avoided Against Rams

The 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 […]

Steelers D/ST A Middling Option In Week 13

The Pittsburgh Steelers' defense has been providing steady output in most fantasy formats this season and will look to keep rolling on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13.

Panthers D/ST Face Tough Task Against The Bucs In Week 13

The Carolina Panthers' defense/special teams unit will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. It's a tall task for the Panthers' defense, which has played better recently.

49ers D/ST Not A Good Idea In Week 13

The San Francisco 49ers defense/special teams unit has a rough assignment in a Week 13 matchup against the Bills in Buffalo.

Patriots Defense Not A Reliable Option For Week 13

The New England Patriots D/ST has struggled to produce fantasy points this season, and that trend should continue in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Raiders D/ST Picks Up Five Sacks In Loss

The Las Vegas Raiders defense/special teams scored six fantasy points largely by sacking Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes five times in a 19-17 loss on Friday.

Jets Defense Draws Plus Matchup In Week 13

The New York Jets defense should be well-rested coming out of their bye as they gear up to take on the Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 13.

Seahawks D/ST In Play In Week 13

The Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams is a potential starting option in Week 13 based on their recent play. Their matchup with the New York Jets is favorable given how poorly the Jets' offense has played of late. The Jets have only exceeded 22 points scored once since Week 4. The Seahawks have only allowed a […]

Vikings D/ST Again A Top Option In Week 13

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams will again be a strong play this weekend when they line up against the Arizona Cardinals.

Commanders Defense Has Streaming Upside In Week 13

The Washington Commanders defense could be a viable streaming option this weekend despite their recent struggles when they face the Tennessee Titans.

The […]

Potential For Texans D/ST Against Last-Place Jags

The Houston Texans defense/special teams is in the middle of the pack when it comes to points allowed, but they have been among the most disruptive — which could mean another productive fantasy day in Week 13 against Jacksonville. In their past three games, the Texans have forced 10 turnovers, compiled 13 sacks, and scored […]

Thomas Brown To Serve As Bears' Interim Head Coach

Thomas Brown, who was promoted to offensive coordinator just over two weeks ago, will take over as the Chicago Bears' interim head coach after they fired Matt Eberflus on Friday.
