The college fantasy football playoffs are almost here and a late-season spark might be needed to make the cut. Here are five defenses that are owned in fewer than 60 percent of leagues that could provide a late boost to your fantasy squad.

OREGON

The over/under in the Arizona-Oregon game is approaching 70 points, so that might not be a good sign to take the Ducks here, but the Pac-12 power is giving up only 15.8 points per game and has allowed just three rushing touchdowns all season. Owned in just 58 percent of leagues but ranked sixth overall among all fantasy defenses, Oregon could be available this weekend and there is a clear difference in talent between these two teams.

BAYLOR
Owned in just six percent of leagues, Baylor’s defense ranks No. 10 among all fantasy defenses, giving up just 19 points per game and seven touchdown passes all season. This is the classic “live by the sword, die by the sword,” strategy though, since you would be starting Baylor’s defense against Oklahoma’s offense. This is another game with an over/under in the high 60s, so it might not be worth the risk but Baylor should be available if you want to live on the wild side.
