Fantasy Football Week 8 Defense Projections: Saints Defense Could Pay Off

Normally the New Orleans Saints defense isn't one that you would project in the top spot, but going against the woeful Rams this week, that's just what the experts did. Especially with Sam Bradford unlikely to play. The New York Giants defense gets a date with the struggling Dolphins, boosting their value this week. Both make good matchup plays. In fact, the running theme this week seems to be that defenses matched up against questionable to poor quarterback play means fantasy points. Only the Cowboys and Chargers defenses are ranked that are going up against established quarterbacks.
