Green Bay Packers DST – Fantasy Football Outlook

The Green Bay Packers’ defense and special teams unit should be quite productive in their matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8. The Packers’ D/ST has been off to a good start all year, but disappointed against the Texans in Week 7, only forcing four sacks and not forcing a turnover for the first time all season.

Before last week, the Packers had spent 5 of 6 weeks among the top 12 fantasy defenses, so a comeback against an aggressive Jaguars offense that is no stranger to turning the ball over seems quite likely as they are among the last seven. in the league in billing differential. Expect the Packers to return to prominence this week in fantasy circles as a quality defensive play worth starting in your lineups in Week 8.

Detroit Lions DST – Fantasy Football Outlook

The Detroit Lions D/ST will face the Tennessee Titans in Week 8, a team tied for second in the NFL with 12 draws. The Titans have thrown an interception in every game this season, regardless of who started at quarterback, which bodes well for the Lions. Detroit ranks eighth in takeaways and fourth in interceptions, providing strong turnover potential against Tennessee’s sixth-worst scoring offense (17.7 points per game).

While the Lions have struggled against wide receivers, allowing the most targets, receptions and receiving yards, the recent quarterback change to Mason Rudolph and the departure of DeAndre Hopkins will limit Tennessee’s offensive advantage. The Lions’ DST remains a solid option with rotation potential this week.

New York Jets DST – Fantasy Football Outlook

The New York Jets’ defense will hit the road to take on the New England Patriots in Week 8. The Patriots’ offense has looked much better since turning to rookie quarterback Drake Maye two weeks ago, but this one is still a difficult situation for a rookie. who calls against a talented Jets defense. Treat New York’s D/ST as a top-10 option heading into Week 8.
