There were six teams at a bye in Week 14, forcing fantasy football managers to make some less-than-exciting decisions about their lineups, including their defense. The good news is that even if you had to start a fringe defense instead of some of the more stalwart D/ST units like the Denver Broncos or Houston Texans, you wouldn’t be at as big a disadvantage as it seemed from the outside .
[Week 15 Half-PPR Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | D/ST | Kickers]
After all, there weren’t many standout defensive performances this week, especially in fantasy, with no team scoring more than thirteen fantasy points and only four defenses reaching double-digit points. The San Francisco 49ers D/ST were the only team to move past the 10 fantasy point mark thanks to a seven-sack performance – the highest scoring unit on the day.
Interestingly, Week 14 produced the highest collective third-down conversion rate (43.2%) of any week all season, including a season-low 23 turnovers forced and the sixth-highest points per game (47.3) in a single week throughout the season. .
