Defense/Special Teams DFS Breakdown

Wondering which defenses have the best matchups each week in the NFL? We’ve got you covered with this weekly main slate DFS breakdown.

Week 17

Here we are in Week 17, and we have 12 teams which meet our DST criteria. Enjoy this wild and crazy final week of the regular season.

Seattle (DK: $3,700, FanDuel: $4,700, Fantasy Draft: $6,700) goes into this game as a 13 point favorite. Arizona is only expected to score 12.75 points. I don’t remember seeing an implied team total this low all season! The Cardinals give up the second most points to opposing DSTs and there is really no reason to suspect that to change this week.
