A leaky offensive line often spells doom for an offense. That’s especially true for a quarterback whose O-Line can’t pass block.
You can’t complete passes when you’re on your back. But those sacks are big fantasy points for opposing defenses.
So what offenses give up the most sacks? Here they are:
Seattle Seahawks — 26 sacks allowed; Week 7 opponent: 49ers
Kansas City Chiefs — 24 sacks allowed; Week 7 opponent: Steelers
Cleveland Browns — 22 sacks allowed; Week 7 opponent: Rams
Tennessee Titans — 20 sacks allowed; Week 7 opponent: Falcons
San Francisco 49ers — 19 sacks allowed; Week 7 opponent: Seahawks
