Week 11 Defense Outlooks for Fantasy Football
Cleveland Browns DST - Fantasy Football Outlook
The Cleveland Browns defense comes out of their bye to face off against the New Orleans Saints on the road in Week 11. The Saints represent a plus matchup for the Cleveland defense as they are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position this season. Cleveland's defense has underperformed at times this season but they are as healthy as they have been in a while coming out of their bye week. Treat the Browns defense as a top-12 fantasy option heading into Week 11.

Minnesota Vikings DST - Fantasy Football Outlook
The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams is presented with a smash matchup this Sunday when they take on the Tennessee Titans on the road. Minnesota has stymied their opponents' ground attacks this season, letting up 3.8 yards per carry – the third-lowest figure in the league – and totaling the fewest rushing yards against in the NFL (711). They're a bit more beatable through the air but have intercepted more passes (15) than passing scores allowed (14). Moreover, Tennessee is the best matchup for opposing D/STs, affording their opposition an average of 13.9 fantasy points per contest – the most in the league. Slot them into your lineup confidently, as they're RotoBaller's D/ST4 in this week's rankings.

Green Bay Packers DST - Fantasy Football Outlook
The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit hasn't been up to snuff in the last several weeks, but they'll get a juicy matchup as the Packers head to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. The Bears' offense has been struggling for most of the season and this past week, fired their offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. If the Packers are looking for a get-right game to jumpstart a second-half surge, this is the week to do it. The Packers have a combined six sacks and one interception in their last four games, so taking advantage of Chicago's porous offensive line and rookie quarterback Caleb Williams may be on the menu. With the Packers rested after their Week 10 bye, they're an easy start at D/ST for fantasy managers looking to play the matchups.
