Fantasy Football Defense Streamers for Week 11

#3 - Green Bay Packers (at New York Giants)

The Green Bay Packers can't feel great about how they lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in primetime. However, they can feel good about how well the defense played. Staying in the division, the Packers will face the disastrous New York Giants in their first Brian Daboll-less game.

According to a Monday report by NJ, there is a chance that Dart could miss the matchup against Green Bay due to a concussion. As such, it could be a perfect rebound for Green Bay and a solid situation for their defense.

Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary remain in good shape as one of the better pass rush duos in the NFL, setting the stage for plenty of sacks, which means good things for your fantasy football team.

#2 - San Francisco 49ers (at Arizona Cardinals)

The Arizona Cardinals are once again seemingly listless as the Seattle Seahawks dealt a huge blow to the Jocoby Brissett experiment. With Kyler Murray out of the equation, the San Francisco 49ers could have a dominant defensive showing against the Cardinals in their building.

After giving up 42 points to the Los Angeles Rams, managers are likely to drop the defense, which could set you up for a steal for Week 11. The Cardinals' offense also has not scored more than 30 points once this season, setting a high floor for the 49ers.

#1 - Kansas City Chiefs (at Denver Broncos)

The Denver Broncos' offense has slowed down in recent weeks. The franchise has had trouble with the unit for the last decade, and the problem has returned again. Fourth-quarter comebacks aside, the offense has been dominated in most situations.

The Chiefs are not the team to allow a comeback, so they're in great shape to snuff the life out of the offense and log a few turnovers as well. The last battle between Patrick Mahomes and Bo Nix finished 16-14, so expect another competitive, low-scoring affair.
