Atlanta: Fantasy playoffs are here, and every point counts. It’s crunch time, and you need to make smart choices. Last week, the Falcons surprised everyone with a solid performance against the Raiders, winning 15-9. Jessie Bates made a game-winning interception, and the Falcons’ defense racked up some impressive stats.
Streaming defenses can be a game-changer. It’s often overlooked, but a good defense can help you advance in the playoffs. The Vikings are still a top pick, even after a rough game against the Bears. They’re heading to Seattle, where the Seahawks have struggled against defenses this season.
The Broncos are on fire, claiming the top spot in fantasy points after a strong showing against the Colts. They’re facing the Chargers, who have been shaky lately. The Packers are also a solid choice against the Saints, who are dealing with injuries and a third-string quarterback.
Don’t forget about the Bills! They’ve had a tough couple of weeks, but the Patriots are struggling even more. The Eagles are another team to consider, especially since the Commanders have been giving up points to defenses lately.
If you took a chance on the Falcons last week, you might want to stick with them. They’re up against the Giants, who have been a mess this season. The Chargers, despite their recent losses, still rank high in fantasy points. The Cardinals and Lions also have favorable matchups this week.
Just be cautious with the Steelers. They’ve been solid, but they’re facing the Ravens, who are tough to beat. Keep an eye on T.J. Watt’s status, as that could impact their performance.
Remember, it’s all about making the right moves now. Good luck, and may your fantasy team thrive!
