Pro Football 101: D/ST Fantasy Rankings For Week 16 (Playoffs)

1. Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears
The Vikings' defensive woes stem from their offenses' inability to move the ball and score points. That should change this week against the struggling Bears. Look for Cutler, a turnover machine, to throw another two picks and for Allen and Co. to put him on his back.
2. San Francisco 49ers vs. Detroit Lions
The 49ers play exceptional D at home and face an inept Lions offense this Sunday. While they won't force seven turnovers as they did against Arizona two weeks ago, expect three or four.
3. Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks have put on two horrific performances, back to back, and head to chilly Green Bay on Sunday. They'll want no part of either the cold weather or the Packers' defense and you can expect less than 10 points from the unit.
4. New Orleans Saints vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Saints should cruise to a large early lead and turn the Bucs one-dimensional. And once this happens, look for Sharper and Co. to pick off a few of his errant passes.
Sleepers
1. Cleveland Browns vs. Oakland Raiders
The Browns put up a stellar defensive effort in their last home game (six points vs. Steelers) and will most likely get JaMarcus Russell in this one. Expect an excellent showing with multiple sacks and turnovers from a solid fantasy sleeper in Week 16.
2. Atlanta Falcons vs. Buffalo Bills
The Bills don't generate a lot of points because their offensive line doesn't provide protection for Fitzpatrick or open up running lanes for their RBs. Look for DE Abraham and Co. to pressure Fitzpatrick into sacks and mistakes.
Others We Like
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Kansas City Chiefs
The Bengals have a chance to wrap up the AFC North on Sunday and will put on a sound defensive effort in the process.
Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins
Anyone else watch the Skins play Monday night? It looks like they've mailed in the season and this bodes well for Dallas, who's still playing for a Wild Card. DeMarcus Ware and Anthony Spencer should be all over Campbell on Sunday.
New England Patriots vs. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jags are horrible on the road and will not like the cold weather in New England. The Pats D has put up two consecutive solid fantasy games and will make it a third this week.
A Few More
New York Giants vs. Carolina Panthers
Indianapolis Colts vs. New York Jets
Arizona Cardinals vs. St. Louis Rams
