Start: Seattle Seahawks @ Arizona Cardinals

The Seattle Seahawks defense showed signs of rounding into form. They held the Dallas Cowboys in check while also creating turnovers. Earl Thomas played some inspired football in an attempt to show Dallas what they are missing.

This week’s matchup against the Arizona Cardinals offers a great opportunity to keep the positive vibes going. Arizona’s offense is a disaster scoring little points, turning the ball over and struggling to move the chains.

The Chicago Bears just tallied three interceptions, a fumble and four sacks this past week. It could’ve been worse if Khalil Mack didn’t jump offsides on a pick six.

Sit: Minnesota Vikings @ Los Angeles Rams

I don’t expect the Los Angeles Rams to have a huge offensive day against the Minnesota Vikings. However, there a difference between a defensive playing well enough to win a game and having good fantasy production.

The Rams should score enough points to keep the Vikings fantasy points at a minimum. Los Angeles also does a good job avoiding turnovers and keeping Jared Goff upright.

Overall, there plenty of better streaming options available if you’re worried about the Vikings. The issue is that this means you will likely need to roster two defenses.
