START ‘EM

The Vikings did a great job limiting the Packers last week (yes, they were without Aaron Rodgers, but still) and are going to be the best defensive unit to start in week seven. Minnesota gets the Ravens this week, who are struggling to move the football with Joe Flacco.

The Bears defense absolutely crushed Baltimore a week ago, getting a pick six, another interception, and recording three sacks on Flacco. While Chicago’s defense is decent, the Vikings have one of the better units in all of the NFL, so they should put up a significant amount of points for their owners this week.

Minnesota is becoming a must-start defense, so if you have them, be sure they’re slotted as your starting defense each and every week. Unless, of course, you also have a good defense like the Broncos or Seahawks.
