Fantasy Football Week 8 Defense Projections: Patriots Defense Improving

Week 8 Bye Teams: Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Oakland, New York Jets, Tampa Bay

The Jets, the Bears and the Packers are three defense that are regular starters in a lot of fantasy leagues, but they won't be starting this week as they are all on a bye. Now the trick is who to replace them with.

You could gamble on the Patriots defense, who after a horrible start have been looking better the last few games. They play the Steelers this week. The Chargers defense could be available in many leagues and they get a Chiefs offense that is playing better, but can also have very bad days.
