Patriots Defense a Top-10 Option Despite Opponent's Big Question Mark
The New England Patriots D/ST continues to be a strong fantasy option for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals have been a very favorable matchup for D/ST units this year, although defenses' results have varied depending on Cincy's quarterback situation. Defenses feasted the most when Jake Browning was starting, and they continued to fare well after the Joe Flacco acquisition. In fact, the Bengals have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses in 2025. With that being said, Joe Burrow (toe) is questionable for Week 12, and his potential return would certainly elevate the Bengals' offense. Regardless of whether Burrow plays, the Patriots D/ST is a top-12 option for Week 12. However, their current rank as the #6 D/ST in RotoBaller's rankings might drop a little if the Bengals confirm that Burrow is back for Sunday's game. On a more positive and confirmed note, Ja'Marr Chase (suspension) will miss this weekend's contest, leaving the Patriots' secondary with one less headache to contain.
