Patriots Defense An Appealing Option In Week 14

Patriots Defense An Appealing Option In Week 14

12 months ago

The New England Patriots' defense has significant streaming appeal in most fantasy football leagues ahead of their primetime clash with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night. While New England has been struggling lately, so, too, has Pittsburgh. The team recently fired its offensive coordinator, scored just 10 points against the Cardinals last week, was forced to make a quarterback change due to injury, and could also be without running back Najee Harris (knee). Meanwhile, the Patriots' defense held the Chargers to zero touchdowns last week, showing off their strength as a unit. Not only will this week's matchup be quite low-scoring, but we could also see plenty of turnovers with Mitch Trubisky and Bailey Zappe quarterbacking their respective teams. The Patriots' defense is firmly in the top-12 conversation in all fantasy leagues.
