Defenses
Note – This post was published after the Patriots thrashing of the Texans. Those defenses have accordingly not been ranked.
Tier 1 – Potential Top Scorers
1. Arizona Cardinals @ BUF – With Watkins set to miss this game, the Cards should feast on this offense in transition to a new OC.
2. Seattle Seahawks vs. SF
3. Denver Broncos @ CIN
4. Carolina Panthers vs. MIN
5. Miami Dolphins vs Cle
Tier 2 – Highly Startable Defenses
Hopefully you got in on the Dolphins D, as the matchups aren’t great this week.
6. Cincinnati Bengals vs. DEN
7. Pittsburgh Steelers @ PHI
8. Dallas Cowboys vs. CHI – Facing a backup quarterback and an offense that has struggled all year, this weak D is actually worth a plug n play at home. A pick-six is definitely plausible.
9. New York Jets @ KC
10. Kansas City Chiefs vs. NYJ
11. Oakland Raiders @ TEN
12. New York Giants vs. WAS
13. Los Angeles Rams @ TB
14. Green Bay Packers vs. DET
