START ‘EM – D/ST

Pittsburgh D/ST. 00. player. 55. . D/ST. Pittsburgh Steelers

I could probably just write “They’re playing the Jets” in this section and that’d suffice, but let’s dig a little deeper here.

The Steelers defense has singlehandedly kept them in playoff contention this year. It hasn’t been their offense led by a fourth string quarterback and a bunch of no name players. Instead, it’s been the mighty Steel Curtain, led by T.J. Watt and Minkah Fitzpatrick.

The Jets are turnover happy on offense and susceptible to giving up a lot of sacks each week. Pittsburgh should be feasting come Sunday.

SIT ‘EM – D/ST

57. . D/ST. Chicago Bears. Chicago D/ST. 00. player

The Bears defense hasn’t been what it was a season ago and they’re a Sit ‘Em in the championship game. That’s because the Kansas City Chiefs are coming to town and we know how good that offense is on a week to week basis.

Even with this game in Chicago on Sunday night, don’t look for the Monsters of the Midway to suddenly show up and win your fantasy team a championship. Bench the Bears D in week 16.
