3. Seattle Seahawks (15% rostered) vs. CHI

Averaging 5.7 Fantasy Football points scored over the last three weeks, the Seattle Seahawks defense is in the solid middle of the league. Yet the stats suggest more with seven sacks, three interceptions, and a safety.

That could well come in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. After all, the Bears allowed the most points to opposing defenses, averaging 11.3 fantasy football points per game. Eight sacks allowed, six interceptions, 4 fumble recoveries allowed and one defensive touchdown allowed will bring joy to anyone who has roasted the Seattle Seahawks defense.
