2. Green Bay Packers (24% rostered) vs. MIA

The fourth-best defense over the last three weeks has been the Green Bay Packers. Eight sacks, six interceptions, and one defensive touchdown provided an average of 9.3 fantasy football points per game.

They should fare similarly well against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are allowing an average of 9.0 fantasy football points per game to opposing defenses — the seventh-worst in the NFL. So it’s a good opportunity to give one of the hottest defenses in recent weeks, another shot.
