Detroit Lions defense is officially legitimate

The Lions' defense picked off the reigning MVP three times on Sunday; one such interception was returned for a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact:

Turnovers were a point of emphasis for Detroit's defense this season, and it's clear that the players took heed. The unit ranks second in the league in interceptions with seven, one behind Baltimore. Limiting the opposition's yards and points is nice and undeniably important, but turnovers are what make fantasy defenses worth starting. Their remaining schedule is extremely favorable, including matchups with the entire AFC North (they get the Steelers at home) as well as the Bears two more times. This unit should be rostered in all leagues.
