From a fantasy standpoint, the Minnesota Vikings are clearly the top defense and special teams unit in the NFL this season.

Thanks to their blitz-heavy philosophy, the Vikes are averaging 11.6 fantasy points per game — with a league-leading three defensive touchdowns. They have another great matchup this week, facing the Jacksonville Jaguars with QB Trevor Lawrence unlikely to play.
