The Bears (vs. Browns), Redskins (vs. Broncos), and Cardinals (vs. Giants) are your best bets when it comes to waiver wire sleepers. When it comes to busts, the Seahawks (@ Cowboys), Saints (vs. Falcons), and possibly the Vikings (@ Packers) if Aaron Rodgers plays are your biggest worries. (UPDATE: Rodgers is out.) Otherwise, pretty much all of the highly owned/high-scoring D/STs are in play this week.
Fantasy’s No. 1 D/ST, Jacksonville, has a quietly difficult matchup against the new-look 49ers, but even with Jimmy Garoppolo turning San Francisco into a real NFL offense, the Jags can still get pressure, rack up sacks, possibly force a few turnovers and keep the score low. Now isn’t the time to abandon them. And here’s how you could lose in fantasy in Week 16.
