Conference Championship D/ST Outlooks For Fantasy Football
Philadephia Eagles Defense - Fantasy Football Outlook
The Philadelphia Eagles D/ST prepares for Sunday's NFC Championship matchup against the Washington Commanders, looking to maintain their strong performance this season. While the Eagles boast one of the league's top defensive squads, the Commanders' balanced offensive attack could pose a challenge.
During the regular season, these teams met twice, with the Eagles allowing an average of 316 total yards and 27 points per game. However, Philadelphia's defense also forced six turnovers in those matchups, showcasing their ability to capitalize on mistakes.
Containing Washington's offense will be key to securing a trip to the Super Bowl. The Eagles' defense will aim to disrupt the Commanders' rhythm and add to their postseason dominance.

Buffalo Bills Defense - Fantasy Football Outlook
The Buffalo Bills D/ST faces a tough test in the form of the Kansas City Chiefs during Sunday's AFC Championship. Not only do the Chiefs boast an incredible offense led by Patrick Mahomes, but they've also displayed elite-level ball security.
In fact, Kansas City owns the NFL's longest active turnover-free streak dating back to Week 11. Ironically, that Week 11 game was against the Bills, but it took place in Buffalo. Patrick Mahomes was picked off twice in that contest, and the Bills D/ST's best chance to deliver a solid fantasy showing this upcoming Sunday is to rattle Mahomes once again.
That won't be an easy task, but our RotoBaller experts are confident in the Bills, ranking them first among the four remaining D/ST units in the playoffs.
