D/ST

Start

Houston Texans vs. Indianapolis Colts – Sure their defense just got smoked last week but that was on the road against Russell Wilson and company. This week they take on Andrew Luck-less Colts at home.

Arizona Cardinals vs. San Francisco 49ers – Arizona’s defense has regressed a lot this season but the 49ers offense has been even worse. Over the last two weeks they have turned the ball over five times while taking a total of nine sacks. I think the Cardinals can get it done this week but either way, feel free to drop them on Tuesday.

Sit

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Dallas Cowboys – The Chiefs just played on Monday Night Football and their defense looked great. However, that was at home against the Denver Broncos. This week they go on the road to take on the Cowboys. Even without Ezekiel Elliott, I don’t like this matchup.

Denver Broncos vs. Philadelphia Eagles – If you still think this D/ST is the same group from the previous two seasons, you are sadly mistaken. They have not scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 2 and Carson Wentz has the Eagles offense rolling.
