Patriots D/ST vs New York Giants
Available in 88% of Sleeper Leagues
No team has defended opposing defenses worse than the Giants. Against D/ST’s the Giants are allowing 5.4 fantasy points above expectation and 11.3-FPPG since Week 2 of the season. The Giants have also allowed 63 sacks this season and that is the most in the NFL by 12 sacks. Simply put, the Giants are THE TEAM to stream against going forward this season.
Chiefs D/ST @ Las Vegas Raiders
Available in 45% of Sleeper Leagues
The Chiefs’ defense remains the strength of this team after their offense continues to fall flat. KC is facing off against the Raiders who have turned the ball over 21 times (tied for the league’s most). Additionally, they have allowed 27 sacks this season, a middling total.
In the last five games, the Raiders are the 28th best team against opposing D/ST’s allowing an average of 10-FPPG; they have allowed 3.2 fantasy points above expectation during that time as well (29th). Lastly, the Raiders have a rookie under center and they tend to make mistakes, sometimes compounding mistakes against elite defenses.
Vikings D/ST vs Chicago Bears
Available in 75% of Sleeper Leagues
This is the least favorite of the teams listed within this article. With that said, fantasy managers will hope for the Vikings to log sacks and turnovers to make value. Chicago has allowed 32 sacks and suffered 19 turnovers in 11 games. The Bears are the 27th best this season against opposing D/ST’s and allow 3.3 fantasy points above expectation.
