Sometimes, fantasy football managers focus on the wide receiver position. But don’t forget about your defense, and the full list is here. However, for some start ’em, sit ’em advice, here are some key defense and special teams units for Week 14 of the 2025 NFL season.
If you like playing the hot hand, you need to look closely at the Seattle Seahawks. However, other teams rival the Seahawks as good bets for this week.
Let’s dive into it!
One of the best teams in the NFL has one of the best defenses. And that Seahawks team gets a chance to attack the aging Kirk Cousins this week.
Coming off back-to-back four-sack games, the Seahawks also went wild against the Vikings in Week 13. They picked off four passes, returning one for a long touchdown, and also had a fumble recovery.
Now, the Falcons should be better on offense than the pitiful Vikings. But still, this is a good spot for the Seahawks.
It starts with their fantastic defensive tackles, led by Leonard Williams, according to The Athletic.
“Turn the tape on and show me players that are playing better than him,” Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said. “I’d be willing to watch that tape. It wouldn’t be a long tape. The amount that (Williams) sets his teammates up for success is understated. There’s so many plays where he’s setting somebody else up.
“Whether he’s getting doubled in the pass rush or he’s running a stunt to free somebody else up or in the run game, he’s making the ball go a certain direction. There’s at least a dozen plays every game where not a lot of people in the world can make those types of plays.”
And Byron Murphy is keeping teams from being able to focus too much on Williams. He has 12 quarterback hits on the season.
“It means a lot,” Murphy said of his uptick in production. “It’s showing that my preparation and everything I did in the offseason is paying off.”
Macdonald said Murphy’s game is getting better weekly.
“We’re probably putting (Williams) in more position flexibility than we are with Murph,” Macdonald said. “Not that Murph can’t do it. It’s just Leo has more experience, and we can move him around a little bit more than we do with Murph. But Murph is on his way. He’s doing a lot of great things.”
Watch out, Falcons. These dudes are coming.
When good defenses perform poorly, the next opponent had better watch out. The Broncos weren’t very good overall against the Commanders. Yes, they made enough plays to win, according to denverbroncos.com.
