On paper, the Jacksonville Jaguars are anything but a great Defense.

They give up 333 yards per game and rank 21st in the NFL in pass defense. They are better against the run, allowing just under 95 yards a game, good enough for eighth in the league.

They are 12th in the NFL with 10 total touchdowns allowed but have a solid red zone defense that has allowed scores on just 42.9 percent of drives. It is in the turnover category in which the Jags really shine, though.

The team is tied for second in the league with 11 forced turnovers (5 interceptions, 6 fumbles) and is a threat to end any opposing offense’s drive early. This Jaguars squad is full of ball hawks, each understanding the value of the takeaway in an offensive league.

Sunday against a red-hot Buffalo Bills team, they recovered a fumble, and cornerback Darious Williams intercepted Josh Allen. The unit did a magnificent job of limiting a seemingly unstoppable Bills team to just 20 points and scoring a big win that re-established Jacksonville as a contender in the AFC.

They may not be a defense jam-packed with stars, but they do their job and can get the ball back in the hands of the offense.

In the world of fantasy football, forcing turnovers means big points from a unit that is not typically relied upon to win managers their weekly match-ups. If you are currently sitting with a defensive squad that has underwhelmed or failed to tally the takeaways you expected them to, consider hitting that drop button and picking up the Jaguars.

Jacksonville is currently rostered in just 15.8 percent of leagues according to FantasyPros and has more than warranted your attention over others, such as the Los Angeles Chargers, Cincinnati Bengals, and New England Patriots.
