START ‘EM
Jacksonville D/ST. 5. player. 52. . D/ST. Jaguars
The Jaguars defense is becoming one of the best units in all of football, so why not pick them up for your fantasy football team? This week they’ll face a Bengals team that has underwhelmed this season, especially on the road.
Jacksonville has been great defensively and they’ve already notched 33 sacks on the year, which leads the entire league, according to ESPN.com. Who would have thought Jacksonville would lead the league in anything positive?
Defenses hosting the Bengals have fared well this year, averaging 12 points this season, according to Michael Fabiano of NFL.com. Sometimes it’s easier to just rotate out defenses for your fantasy squad, but Jacksonville is one that if you pick up, you should consider keeping on your team. They’ve been a pleasant surprise and should be credited with keeping the Jags at the top of the AFC South race.
