D/ST

Start

Cincinnati Bengals vs. Cleveland Browns – The Bengals are coming off a strong double-digit fantasy performance n Week 11 and will take on the Browns in Week 12. Opposing D/STs facing the Browns have scored double-digit points in four out of the last five games. I don’t see how the Bengals don’t finish as a top-10 D/ST this week.

New England Patriots vs. Miami Dolphins – Remember in the beginning of the season when we wanted to pick on the Patriots defense? Those days are long gone. Since Week 6 the Patriots have been the ninth-best fantasy D/ST and the Dolphins are still the Dolphins. Fire them up.

Sit

Los Angeles Rams vs. New Orleans Saints – The Rams D/ST is coming off a negative fantasy performance and only one D/ST has scored double-digit points when facing the Saints this season. Don’t get me wrong: I love the Rams D/ST. Just not this week.
