Week 6 Start ’Em: DefensesStart of the Week
Bills defense vs. Giants (8:20 p.m. ET, NBC): The Bills defense didn’t do well in London last week and have lost some important players due to injuries, but I’m still starting them against the Giants. No team in the league has allowed more sacks of their quarterback, and the G-Men are averaging fewer than 13 points.

Start ’Em
Eagles defense at Jets (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): The Eagles defense scored just five fantasy points in last week’s win over the Rams, but I’m expecting more in terms of production against the Jets. Their offense has allowed 15 sacks, which is tied for eighth most in the league, not to mention eight giveaways committed, in 2023.

Week 6 Sit S’Em: DefensesSit of the Week
Cowboys defense at Chargers (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): The Cowboys D/ST is trending in the wrong direction, as it lost CB Trevon Diggs and was just smoked by Brock Purdy and the Niners. Next up is a tough matchup against the Chargers and former offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, which doesn’t bode well for Dallas.
Sit ’Em
Browns defense vs. 49ers (1 p.m. ET, Fox): The Browns have one of the best defensive units in the league, but starting it against the 49ers isn’t recommended. Their offense has committed just two giveaways and have allowed a modest eight sacks on the season, and it’s also averaging well over 30 points per game.
