Houston Texans D/ST
The Texans defense didn't turn in a particularly impressive road performance against the Saints, but now they'll get to take on rookie quarterback Gardner Minshew at home.
Romeo Crennel will get a lot of deserved criticism for playing this defense, but Aaron Colvin was the biggest problem on this play. Literally every other #Texans defender on this play plays things PERFECT. Solid awareness of the situation by everyone except Colvin. Unreal. pic.twitter.com/AUVy0VmtK8

New England Patriots D/ST
The Patriots held the Steelers to just 3 points in week 1 and will now take on a Miami Dolphins team as a whopping 18 point favorite. Tough to see how this doesn't end well for the Patriots defense.
Here we goat again! The @patriots start their title defense strong with a win against the Steelers! pic.twitter.com/tkaEgO6tAZ

Baltimore Ravens D/ST
The Baltimore Ravens absolutely obliterated the Dolphins in week 1 and picked up 14 fantasy points along the way. Now the Ravens will get to play against inexperienced rookie Kyler Murray at home.
If you've been blinded by the light emanating from Larma Jackson and Hollywood Brown, the Ravens defense also is playing lights out, as is the offensive line. #ravens

Carolina Panthers D/ST
The top scoring defense in week 1 was the 49ers D/ST, which picked off two Jameis Winston passes and returned them for touchdowns. Now the Panthers defense will get a chance on Thursday night.
Panthers defense more fun to watch than offense.

Chicago Bears D/ST
The Bears defense picked up right where they left off last season by allowing the Packers to score just 3 points in their opener. Now they'll get to play against a far worse offense in the Denver Broncos.
The Bears defense is still a problem 🤭#GBvsCHI (via @thecheckdown)pic.twitter.com/r1WWRF7XRC

Buffalo Bills D/ST
The Bills allowed the Jets to score just one offensive touchdown in week 1, allowing Buffalo to stay in the game. Now the Bills will get to take on a struggling Eli Manning in week 2.
Well #Bills fans, it wasn't pretty, but Buffalo overcame 4 turnovers, got a rock solid performance from their defense, got a nice lift from John Brown & Devin Singletary & got some help from a bad Jets kicking situation and a key injury to CJ Mosley. A valuable division victory.

Tennessee Titans D/ST
The Titans hung 22 fantasy points on a Cleveland Browns team that was supposed to be a Super Bowl contender this season. The Titans defense, often overlooked, will now get to play against Jacoby Brissett at home.
1-0!#Titans defense forces 3 Baker Mayfield interceptions, and Marcus Mariota has his first 3 TD game in more than two seasons as Titans roll over Cleveland.

Green Bay Packers D/ST
Defensive coordinator Mike Pettine figured out the Bears offense in week 1 and held them to just 3 points. Now he'll get to take on a Vikings offense that passed for less than 100 yards in week 2.
Packers defense playing like they were sick of hearing about the Bears defense.

New York Giants D/ST
The Giants defense didn't exactly look spectacular against the Cowboys, but the Bills offense didn't look great against the Jets either. Buffalo turned the ball over four times in one half, and that should mean fantasy opportunities for the Giants defense.
Giant defense is even worse than I feared. Over 300 yards allowed. Embarrassing.

Denver Broncos D/ST
The Green Bay Packers may have given the league a blueprint on how to beat Mitchell Trubisky. The Bears quarterback can only throw to his right, and if the Broncos can take advantage of that, they should have a good fantasy night.
#Broncos defense ranked No. 2 in the NFL, according to one report https://t.co/qFvEcovrep
