New England Patriots D/ST
One week after stomping the Miami Dolphins 43-0, the Patriots will return home to face Trevor Siemian and the New York Jets. It should be another productive day for this fantasy defense.

Dallas Cowboys D/ST
Are the Dolphins even trying? They've now been blown out 59-10 and 43-10. In those two games, the Dolphins allowed the opposing defenses to rack up nearly 50 fantasy points.

Green Bay Packers D/ST
The Packers have clearly figured something out, as the fantasy defense has averaged 22 points in the first two weeks. Now Green Bay will take on a struggling Broncos offense at home.

Buffalo Bills D/ST
The Bills have allowed just 30 points in two games and the defense has averaged 8 fantasy points a game as a result. The Bills will come back to Buffalo 2-0, and you'd better believe the fans will make things difficult for Andy Dalton and the Bengals.
Fans were wondering where the Buffalo Bills' dominant defense was after the New York Giants' first drive Sunday. It showed up in a big way a short time later. My 10 observations from MetLife Stadium are new @BNBlitzNow:https://t.co/j0eL5SgKPy

Minnesota Vikings D/ST
The Vikings defense kept the team in the game against Green Bay, and the Oakland Raiders do not have a formidable offense. The Raiders scored just 10 points against the Chiefs at home and likely won't fare much better against a tougher defense on the road.
Our defense showed up. Big time.#DerbyWeek | #Skol pic.twitter.com/okbvromzDt

Tampa Bay Buccaneers D/ST
The New York Giants are struggling in 2019 and much of the blame can be placed at the feet of the offense. Eli Manning could struggle even more against a Bucs defense that has averaged 10 fantasy points a game so far.

Chicago Bears D/ST
The Bears will take on a surprisingly competitive Redskins team in week 3 on the road. So far, the defense has averaged just 7 fantasy points a game, nowhere close to the level of production last season. A matchup with Case Keenum should help the Bears defense get back on track.
Confidence rising. 📈

Tennessee Titans D/ST
The Titans have scored over 30 fantasy points on defense already this season and now get to play against rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew, who struggled against the Texans last week.
Wear it Baker Mayfield! Pick six! This is the most complete game I’ve seen from the Titans in years. Pure destruction.

Jacksonville Jaguars D/ST
Even in a loss, the Jaguars defense still managed to score 9 fantasy points against the Houston Texans on the road. At home, the Jaguars should be able to limit the Titans scoring.
The defense is stacked with playmakers on every level.

They must play like that on Sunday.
Carolina Panthers D/ST
Kyler Murray and the Cardinals are proving to be more difficult than anticipated, as they hung around with the Ravens for the entire game as 12 point underdogs. Still, Murray is a rookie and could be forced into mistakes against a tough Panthers defense.
Great stand there for the Panthers defense and Carolina will get the ball back with great field position -- providing McCloud doesn't fumble
