3 Under-the-Radar Defenses For Week 7
Here are three under-the-radar defenses poised for a big week at a cheap price tag:
Atlanta Falcons
The Tennessee Titans offense continues to grant its opposing defenses fantasy points, and the rejuvenated Falcons defense should take full advantage this week.
Rookie QB Marcus Mariota is forced to sit this one out with a knee injury, giving way to QB Zach Mettenberger. Last season, Mettenberger started seven games, throwing seven picks and eight touchdowns - a promising matchup for Falcons CB Desmond Trufant and company.
St. Louis Rams
The Rams' front line is the best in football, and gave up just 12 points to the Steelers high-octane offense at home in Week 4.
Coach Jeff Fisher continues to find ways to win at home - and with the NFC West wide open, this game is crucial to gain ground in the division. Browns QB Josh McCown has thrown for 300+ yards four of the five games he's played, but could be overwhelmed by the Rams this week.
Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins laid a beating on the Tennessee Titans in interim coach Dan Campbell's debut.
The 38-10 rout saw the Miami defense put together one of its best efforts of the season, and that unit shouldn't have a problem shutting down the Texans' inconsistent offense. Miami will be a low-owned defense with high upside.
