In fantasy football, sometimes it doesn’t matter how good you are. That’s how bad the other team is.
We’ve all had weeks where our players were all underperforming, but the opponent’s are doing even worse and you still get the W.
This is often how it is when it comes to picking a defense/special teams unit in Fantasy. They may not be that great, but match them up against an inexperienced or turnover-prone quarterback and they’re a top 5 option.
This week, that unit is the New York Jets, who play at home against the winless Miami Dolphins, and quarterback Malik Willis.
