In what could be a win for the division title and a first-round bye, expect the Steelers to use all the healthy normal starters they can suit up to play against the Browns this week. Even last week, without Ben Roethlisberger this defense posted a shutout against the Rams, and it's likely they will hold the Browns under 14 points, even with Seneca Wallace bringing some life to their offense last week. Keep ...

In light of the results from the Texans lose to the Panthers, and the Colts first win of the season, Houston's week sixteen matchup in Indianapolis may not be a big blowout after all. No, the Colts didn't find a passing attack last week, but their defense stepped up and made plays, as they rolled to an easy finish against the Titans. Still if you're in need of a solid top ten matchup for Super Bowl week, it ...

The Packers were dominant at home against a beat-up Raiders team that clearly didn't come to play. This week Mason Crosby and the Packers team defense are listed as our top players to start for their respective positions, as they head out to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. On Monday, the Chiefs finally fired Coach Todd Haley and it was about time, as after losing Matt Cassel, Haley's only answer at quart ...

Sure the New England Patriots are playing with a third rate secondary in terms of talent, but they've been getting the job done when opposing offenses creep inside the red zone. This week the Patriots get their second great matchup in the last three weeks as they return home to face the Colts offense. While Indianapolis had some success last week, New England should be good for at least four sacks and two o ...

It's time for fantasy owners to keep in mind some of the more pitiful offenses around the league, and find a defense that plays them on the waiver wire to exploit these matchups. As funny as this sounds, the Colts have to be the worst team in the NFL, and their offense is in poor shape as quarterback Curtis Painter continues to regress from his early marginal success against the Buccaneers and Chiefs. Look ...

After a 62 to 7 shellacking over the Colts, the Saints defense has another stellar matchup this week as the head out to St. Louis to take on the win-less Rams. While A.J. Feeley wasn't exactly horrible against the Cowboys, he failed to lead the team down the field for more than seven points, and that drive was more about the terrific running from Steven Jackson,than Feeley throwing the football. Sam Bradfor ...

With second year inside linebacker Sean Lee playing at an All-Pro level, the Cowboys defense is a respectable fantasy defense weekly. In the past two weeks, we've seen this squad play well against the Lions and Patriots, two of the better offenses in football and their matchup against the Rams this week, will make them one of the better plays for week seven. Last Updated - Oct. 17th Bills, Bengals, Patriots ...

It doesn't seem to matter how far away the Raiders are from the goal post, they just allow Sebastian Janikowski to attempt field goal after field goal and why not. Janikowski has already tied the leagues longest field goal this year, and against the Jets, he attempted field goals from 49, 54 and 56 and converted two of them. With the Raiders playing winning football, look for Janikowski to post top five num ...

The Chargers defense had a tough day against Tom Brady last week but they comeback home to a must start matchup against the Chiefs. With a passing game in shambles and Jamaal Charles done for the year, the Chiefs are going to be a very bad offense, and fantasy owners need to target opposing defenses that play against them. More Week 3 Rankings: QB | RB | WR | TE | K/D | DL | LB | DB | Waiver Wire | Start/Si ...

When looking for a reliable fantasy defense, you want to find a group that holds opponents under twenty points a game, sacks the quarterback, and can create turnovers. While top defenses like the Steelers, Giants, Eagles, Ravens and Patriots all have quality players on defense, but only the Packers and Jets support shut down corners on the outside. Maybe that's why the sweepstakes for free agent to be Nnamd ...
