Recommending a defense that's allowed 95 points over their last 3 games? We sure are.

While the New England Patriots defensive unit hasn't exactly been the old Steel Curtain, they have provided plenty of fantasy value. Over that same three-game stretch, they've picked off opposing quarterbacks six times, and they've recorded three sacks to boot.

They also get to play their Week 8 contest against the Buffalo Bills, who currently start Derek Anderson. Yes, that Derek Anderson, who saw his last meaningful action in Week 5 of the 2016 season. On Sunday, the Indianapolis Colts defense turned Anderson over four times, sacked him twice, and held the Bills to five points. The Patriots are at least a streaming option for the immediate future.
