Is Houston REALLY a Top 5 Defense Against GB?
 

I picked up the Atlanta defense (against OAK) but my regular defense (Houston) is still ranked Top 5 in most rankings despite the matchup.

I would say no

With JJ Swatt on the line I say yes fantasy wise. Every down the D is a tipped pass away from an interception. Not to mention the D has been a Sack machine. The stats don't lie:
[U][B]In only 5 games we have[/B][/U]
17 sacks
7ints with 2 of those being pick 6's
5 forced fumbles

What more can you ask for fantasy wise, its a no brainer.

Take Cushings out and they are not the same. Yes they still are beasts but look what QBs they have gone up against:

Tannehills 1st ever NFL game
Gabbert
Payton Manning (scored a decent amount)
Titans dynamic duo
Jets "god" awful QB situation

Rodgers will find ways to score so its ok to sit the Texans this week

I have the same situation, rolled with my bench team of ATL
