3. Minnesota Vikings (19 percent rostered) vs. CHI

The Minnesota Vikings defense is the epitome of average. Over the last three weeks, the Vikings have tallied three sacks, three fumble recoveries, and three interceptions for 5.0 fantasy football points per game. Against the Chicago Bears, however, that could change.

The Chicago Bears have allowed 9.2 fantasy football points per game to opposing defenses over the last five weeks. This is the second-most fantasy football points allowed in the NFL over that period. 14 sacks allowed, eight interceptions and one defensive touchdown underscore the Bears’ weakness.
