Fantasy Impact: Most fantasy owners wouldn't dare go near the Packers D/ST in 2011. After sporting the worst defense in the league last season, Green Bay followed up that campaign by giving up 30 points and 377 total yards to the 49ers. However, owners who have held onto this team saw a huge boost in the first half of Week 2's matchup, as the Packers racked up four sacks, one interception and this impressive trick play touchdown seen below. If the second half goes just as well, the Packers D/ST could be one of the top scorers for fantasy leagues this week.
