Week 13 Results

Dallas (vs NY Giants) - 6 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 INT, 1 DEF TD

DeMarvion Overshown had one of the most impressive rush, tip, and catch pick-six plays you’ll see to fuel a massive performance from the resurgent Cowboys defense. We’ll keep targeting the Giants (Saints up next)

A Look Ahead: CIN @CAR TB - Joe Burrow is maybe the best quarterback in the league, but if he has to play from behind with a porous offensive line, it could be good for the Cowboys D/ST.

Buffalo (vs San Francisco) - 2 sacks, 3 fumble recoveries

Good enough in bad conditions, although the Bills did show some weakness against the run.

A Look Ahead: @LAR @DET NE - We’ll return to the Bills for Weeks 16 and 17.

Washington (vs Tennessee) - 2 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries

Will Levis didn’t make any big mistakes in this one, but the game was over at halftime.

A Look Ahead: BYE @NO PHI - We may come back to them in Week 17 if Kirk Cousins is still in a tailspin.

Green Bay (vs Miami) - 5 sacks, 1 fumble recovery

Tua Tagovailoa didn’t shake the winless in the cold narrative, but he was productive, even if it was mostly against a garbage time defense.

A Look Ahead: @DET @SEA NO - No preferred matchups left for the Packers D/ST

Indianapolis (at New England) - 4 sacks, 1 INT

The one interception was a drop by Hunter Henry at the goal line as Drake Maye played well enough for the Patriots to win, which meant not a huge game from the Colts D/ST.

A Look Ahead: BYE HOU @TEN - We may return to the Colts in Weeks 16 and 17 (Giants).

Seattle (at NY Jets) - 2 sacks, 1 fumble recovery, 1 INT, 1 DEF TD

If you want to see a 90+ yard pick-six from a defensive lineman, look no further. Leonard Williams truly made this a revenge game.

A Look Ahead: @ARI GB MIN - That’s all for the Seahawks D/ST.

Baltimore (vs Philadelphia) - 2 sacks

The Ravens didn’t play with the lead, so this didn’t go well. The Eagles D/ST was also a dud.

A Look Ahead: BYE @NYG PIT - The Ravens D/ST is worth carrying through the bye if you have a first-round playoff matchup in Week 15.

LA Chargers (at Atlanta) - 1 sack, 4 INT, 1 DEF TD

Kirk Cousins had a terrible day, including a bush league pick-six and terrible end-zone interception. We’ll target him going forward.

A Look Ahead: @KC TB DEN - That’s all folks.

Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda

NY Jets (vs Seattle) - 3 sacks, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 ST TD

Laviska Shenault Jr fumbled two kickoff returns and Kene Nwangwu returned one for a score to account for most of these points.

Cincinnati (vs Pittsburgh) - 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 DEF TD

A missed call led to a Cam Taylor-Britt pick-six; otherwise, nothing to see here.

Week 14 Candidates

**Minnesota, Kansas City, and Pittsburgh are assumed to be rostered**

New Orleans (at NY Giants)

Drew Lock, Tommy Devito, we’ll take either Giants quarterback in our best matchup of the week.

A Look Ahead: WAS @GB LV - Maybe Week 17 against Aidan O’Connell, but he’s playing better.

Philadelphia (vs Carolina)

The Eagles defense has been one of the best in the league in the second half of the season. Bryce Young is playing well, but this Vic Fangio-led unit just frustrated Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry,

A Look Ahead: PIT @WAS DAL - We may return to the Eagles in Week 17.

Dallas (vs Cincinnati)

This could backfire, especially in points and yards allowed leagues, but if Joe Burrow plays from behind, we saw how the Steelers pass rush exploited the flaws in the Bengals offensive line to big D/ST results last week.

A Look Ahead: @CAR TB @PHI - The Cowboys D/ST rides off into the sunset.

Miami (vs NY Jets)

Picking on Aaron Rodgers sounds like a good plan when the Jets have to explicitly state that he is still starting in Week 14.

A Look Ahead: @HOU SF @CLE - The Dolphins D/ST is worth playing in Week 17 as long as Jameis Winston is starting.

Buffalo (at LA Rams)

The Bills D/ST has three straight games with multiple sacks and takeaways. Matthew Stafford doesn’t present the best D/ST matchup, but the Bills have been very consistent on defense and just got Matt Milano back.

A Look Ahead: @DET NE NYJ - Part of the reason to play the Bills D/ST is to have them for Weeks 16 and 17.

Detroit (vs Green Bay) **Thursday**

The Lions D/ST has slowed down after a midseason hot streak, but if they can get out to a lead on Jordan Love, he has been very careless with the ball at times this year.

A Look Ahead: BUF @CHI @SF - If Brock Purdy gets shut down, Week 17 is looking good.

Arizona (vs Seattle)

The Cardinals D/ST has three straight games with at least three sacks and a takeaway. Seattle was the better D/ST in the Week 12 matchup, but this one is in Arizona. The Seahawks could end up being the better play, but Arizona is probably the better bet.

A Look Ahead: NE @CAR @LAR - The Cardinals could be a suitable play in Week 15 against a rookie quarterback playing behind a weak offensive line.
