The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit suffered a setback last week against the Detroit Lions but look to bounce back on the road against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. The Packers D/ST prior to last week had been a top 10 fantasy defense for three weeks in a row, but ran […]

Miami […]

Texans D/ST Should Be Avoided Against Miami Skill Players

Fantasy managers in elimination games should steer clear of the Houston Texans defense/special teams unit in a tricky matchup with the Miami Dolphins in Week 15.
