Fantasy Football Week 11: 5 Best Defensive Plays To Save Your Season

It's not always the runnning backs and quarterbacks that make the difference between winning and losing your games. Sometimes, it's the defensive play that makes the monster difference. Last week if you had Dallas or Chicago there's a good chance you won your game. Here are five teams that can make a difference this week.

The Bengals will be held to less than 10 points and have at least two turnovers and Dalton will be sacked at least four times. 

Baltimore Ravens

Andy Dalton has been getting wins against some weaker teams. He struggled a bit but held up OK last weak against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This week, though, he gets introduced to the shocking reality of the Baltimore Ravens. 

Chicago Bears

Last week the Bears were absolutely lethal on defense and special teams. They had a TD from both. Look for them to continue that kind of performance against the San Diego Chargers this week with Phillip Rivers and his new-found penchant for completing passes to the other team. Three turnovers and a touchdown is a realistic number here. 

New England Patriots

New England has been steadily improving on defense after a very shaky start. Now they get to go against a quarterback who no one has ever heard of. They will hold Kansas City to 10 points and 250 yards with at least three sacks and a turnover. This is the best bet for a waiver wire pickup.  

Detroit Lions

After last week's humiliation at the hands of the Bears, the Lions are going to be angry, and they tend to be bullies. They are going against a Panthers offense that turns the ball over a lot, which is what they'll be doing this week. 

San Francisco 49ers

The 'Niners are a team that everyone saw coming last year and no one saw coming this year. John Skelton upset the Eagles last week in a game for the birds, but he won't have so much luck this week. The best moment of the game for him will be when the last second ticks off the clock  and it ends his torment. 

'Zona will get no more than 300 yards and will be stuck with single digit points. Turnovers and sacks will about. Sorry Cardinals fans. You aren't going to enjoy this game. San Francisco owners will love it though.
