The Dallas Cowboys, D/ST1 over the first two weeks, finally met its match facing Josh Dobbs and the Arizona Cardinals. The Denver Broncos, one of the best defenses of 2022, had a 70-point nuclear bomb dropped on them courtesy of the Miami Dolphins. The Jets’ elite real-world defense has another hum drum fantasy day against a mediocre Patriots offense. There’s just no counting on anyone these days.
The Buffalo Bills’ D/ST crushed all opposition with 35 fantasy points in Week 3. And yet, it would take a brave soul to even start them in Week 4 against the Dolphins’ blitzkrieg. The Jets’ lights-out defense is in a similar predicament against Patrick Mahomes. For those of us streaming D/STs, this is the time to keep an eye out, especially in leagues with minimal bench spots. There’s a good chance some of the best defenses in football will end up on the waiver wire in the coming weeks. Let’s look at our options in Week 4.
