Even by the standards of the NFL, where “weird” is most assuredly a relative concept, Week 9 was, well, weird.
How weird was it?
If that reference makes sense to you, congratulations. You’re a geezer. See you at Denny’s for dinner at 4:00 PM.
The top two defenses for the week were the Pittsburgh Steelers (who were facing the NFL’s hottest team and worst fantasy matchup for the position entering the week) and the Tennessee Titans.
That is not a misprint. The dumpster fire that is the Tennessee defense scored on an interception return and a punt return. And they weren’t alone. The Baltimore Ravens were 31st in fantasy points among defenses before jackstomping the Miami Dolphins. The Carolina Panthers finished well inside the top-10 after stunning the Packers at Lambeau Field.
