2. Kansas City Chiefs (11% rostered) vs. PIT

The Kansas City Chiefs put up the second-best defense in the last three weeks. 12, 3 fantasy football points per game, five sacks, six fumble recoveries, four interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns are currently making every opposing offense tremble.

However, the Pittsburgh Steelers now await. The Steelers have already allowed 33 sacks this season, ranking them in the top third of the league, but with only 84.6 rushing yards allowed, they rank second-best in the NFL.

Still, I think the Kansas City Chiefs defense is solid enough to make a splash against the Steelers.
