Start: Denver Broncos

@ San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers offense has been decimated by injuries. They have not only lost starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but also a few offensive linemen and running back Jerrick McKinnon.

Somehow, Kyle Shanahan has been able to cobble together a starting lineup. The problem is that this group just hasn’t been overly productive.

This week they face a tough matchup against the Denver Broncos. Denver features a top-notch pass rush led by Von Miller and rookie Bradley Chubb. It has been a fantastic rookie year by Chubb who already has 10 sacks.

Sit: Chicago Bears

vs. Los Angeles Rams

The Chicago Bears defense is a great unit with the potential to slow down any offensive attack. However, the Los Angeles Rams might just be too much to handle. The Rams have weapons all over the field and a coach that develops excellent ways to attack a defense.

It’s playoff time and it would be a major risk to have the Bears defense in your lineup. Chicago’s defense may be able to do enough to win the game, but we are talking about fantasy football here.

The one big problem is that you don’t want to cut the Bears defense lose on the waiver wire. This means you will likely need to carry two defenses for a week.
