Fantasy Football 2018: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 17
START ‘EM – D/ST
New Orleans D/ST. 5. player. 15. . D/ST. Saints
After a rough start to the year, the Saints defense is one of the better units in all of football. They’re especially a good play in week 17, as they’ll be playing a Panthers team that will be rolling with their third string quarterback.
The Saints have already locked up home field advantage in the NFC, so there is a chance that some key starters won’t be playing on Sunday. Even with that potentially happening, it’s pretty difficult to pass up on a good defense that is going up against a third string quarterback, making his first ever NFL start.
Even if the Saints opt to rest some of their better defensive starters, the rest of the defense should still perform well at home against a Panthers team that has nothing to play for.
