Defense/Special Teams

START: Minnesota Vikings Defense/Special Teams

Aaron Rodgers may have said he wasn’t coming back to save his team, but we all know he was coming back to save his team.

Turns out it was beyond saving. It’s ok. He’ll come back to save their 2018 season at least.

The Packers are eliminated, and defeated. Even the crowd filling Lambeau this weekend will know it, and frankly, I don’t feel like the team will put up much of a fight here.

Advantage, Minnesota.

SIT: Indianapolis Colts Defense/Special Teams

Hey, look! The Packers aren’t a sit.

The Colts defense has been terrible, and are 23rd in fantasy football with an average output of 5.7 points through fifteen weeks.

Sit them.

SECOND SIT: Green Bay Packers Defense/Special Teams

Hey! They still made it!

Sorry cheese-heads, your team is cooked.

Green Bay’s defense ranks 17th in fantasy football with 6.6 points per average weekly output. The only team scoring less per week than them, are the Colts. Which is why they’re sit number one.

The Packers defense scored just four points the last time they faced the Vikings. Sure, this one is in Green Bay, but it doesn’t matter at this point.

These have been my ‘Championship Saturday’ sit, start and sleeper predictions for Week 16’s fantasy football match-ups.

Let me know your thoughts! Green Bay fans looking to rub it in my face when their team demolishes Minnesota on Saturday can do so on Twitter. I really don’t hate your team. I promise.

Thanks for reading, and remember to throw all your fantasy football related questions my way so I can give you the best – and sometimes wrong – answer I can.
