The Best Fantasy Defenses for week 8, Atlanta Falcons, Buccaneers, Rams, Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Cleveland Browns, Colts, 49ers

Oct 30, 2015 04:14 PM EDT

Arizona Cardinals at Cleveland Browns: The Cardinals are the best defense in the league hands down so this should be a tough matchup for McCown and crew. The Browns do not have the weapons to compete with the Cardinals and this should be made painfully obvious on Sunday.

Carolina Panthers at Indianapolis Colts: Monday night games always have some weird fantasy outcomes. The one concern with this matchup is that the Colts come back to life and the Panthers can do nothing to stop them. Luck has looked atrocious for the first half of the season, 8 games, and finally got something going towards the end of their week 7 contest. The Panthers have been crushing teams and Josh Norman the Panthers number 1 cornerback is the highest ranked corner in the league according to Pro Football Focus. Norman should blanket Hilton leaving only Moncrief as Luck's primary weapon. The Panthers defense should dominate the Colts offense plain and simple.  

St. Louis Rams VS San Francisco 49ers: Colin Kaepernick VS one of the best defenses in the league, and the best defense at blitzing, this matchup has fantasy gold written all over it. The 49ers have been in a tailspin and this awful matchup does not help. The Rams could be the highest scoring fantasy defense when it is all said and done in week 8.

Atlanta Falcons VS Tampa Bay Buccaneers: This is probably the easiest matchup for all of you fantasy players who stream your defenses. The Buc's have looked anything but sharp in the last few days and a big reason is their offensive line. Doug Martin should do some solid work on the ground but the real points are in interceptions and defensive touchdowns and Winston is pretty turnover prone.
