This season, the Vikings have allowed 332.6 yards and 21.8 points per game while totaling a league high 31 sacks and 13 turnovers. Fresh off the bye week, this will be a great tune up game for Minnesota and its defense. The promise Detroit showed early in the year with its offense is all but gone, and the Lions will be in for a long day against a defense who continually puts pressure on the quarterback Bruno Boys Stars: 4. But, Denver allowed a special team’s touchdown to Baltimore, a defensive touchdown to the Steelers, and an interception that put the Steelers inside Denver’s 20. The unit is still a good play for the rest of the season and the numbers show it. This game against the Washington Redskins this week will allow Denver to get its averages back to normal and put up a good fantasy day. 
The Redskins offense has been disastrous this season, and without their best offensive weapon in Clinton Portis on the field, it can only get worse. Bruno Boys Stars: 5 (Miami Dolphins) vs. Tampa Bay BuccaneersThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have finally found their offense with rookie quarterback Josh Freeman behind center, as he helped lead his team to victory. Can he do the same this week It was actually their defense who helped the Buccaneers upset the Green Bay Packers, as the unit lacked a running game and had average success through the air. The way to attack this Miami Dolphins defense will be with the passing game due to its young corners, but the pass rush of Miami may end up being too much to handle to Freeman. Add that the Dolphins played well against the New England Patriots (just a couple big plays from Tom Brady) and you can see the Miami unit putting up a solid day. This season Miami has allowed 341.4 yards and 25.5 points per game with 21 sacks and 10 turnovers.

This may be one of the few weeks you can trust in the Dolphins defense this year Bruno Boys Stars: 6 (New York Jets) vs. Jacksonville JaguarsThe Jets have played quite well despite losing their anchor in the middle of their defense, nose tackle Kris Jenkins. The team is giving up 273.4 yards and 16.8 points per game while adding 14 sacks and 15 turnovers. This week the Jacksonville Jaguars come to town and will likely try to get their ground game going, preferably up the middle. New York will likely keep an extra man in to defend running back Maurice Jones-Drew and if quarterback David Garrard needs to beat them deep to win, this game is all but over. The Bengals do have a better offense than the Denver Broncos, but there is no way this defense doesn’t put up solid numbers. This season the Steelers have allowed 284.9 yards and 17.4 points per game with 23 sacks and 13 turnovers.
