1. Kansas City Chiefs (11% rostered) @ CIN

The hottest defense in recent weeks has been the Kansas City Chiefs. Three times in the last four weeks, the Chiefs defense has scored more than 13 fantasy football points – impressive. Seven sacks, seven forced fumbles, five fumble recoveries, and two defensive touchdowns speak volumes.

Against the Cincinnati Bengals, it might be a bit more difficult to put up such stats again. But at least the Bengals have allowed 11 sacks in the last three weeks. Only two other teams have been worse.

The Chiefs’ defense is so strong right now that the Bengals won’t be able to do anything about it.
