2019 Fantasy Football Rankings: Defenses for Week 12

I’ll hold my hands up again and admit I didn’t believe that Falcons could be a legit fantasy defense for a second straight week. They proved it wasn’t a fluke and took poor Kyle Allen apart, sacking him 5 times, intercepting him 4 times and running one of those back for a score and they finished Week 11 with a league leading 23 fantasy points. Elsewhere, the Browns’ defensive performance kinda fell off the radar for some reason (?) but they also outperformed my prediction to finish as the D/ST3 with 17 points.

Happily my top streaming option of the week came through, with the Raiders finishing with 14 fantasy points to finish as the D/ST6, one place ahead of my prediction.

Looking ahead to Week 12 and there a couple of potentially titanic struggles on the cards with two top 5 offenses facing top 5 defenses in the Cowboys (No 2 Offense) traveling to the Patriots (No 1 Defense) and the Ravens (No 1 Offense) traveling to the Rams (No 5 Defense). I’m leaning towards the Patriots and Ravens coming out on top in those match ups and the rankings reflect that.

My top streaming option of Week 12 is the Titans who are coming off their bye and host the Jaguars and their 21st ranked offense. At just 33% owned, they could make the difference in your week 12 match up with the fantasy playoffs now so close.
