Patriots Defense A Top Option For Week 18

11 months ago

The New England Patriots' defense ranks as a top-10 fantasy option ahead of Sunday's game versus the New York Jets. The most obvious factor here is that the Jets are starting third-string quarterback Trevor Siemian with Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) and Zach Wilson (concussion) sidelined. Siemian has six turnovers over his last three games, and the Patriots' defense has forced four turnovers during that same span. Furthermore, inclement weather conditions could lead to low scoring from both teams. A run-heavy approach will drain the clock faster, giving both teams fewer opportunities to score points and break off big plays. With bad weather and a favorable matchup on their side, the Patriots' defense is approaching must-start territory for the season finale.
