I really hit one out of the park with the Seattle Seahawks’ defense last week. They were not a commonly used streamable defense and they posted a 17 point performance against the struggling Carson Wentz and Philadelphia Eagles. The Seahawks used five turnovers to control the game on Sunday. Some people doubted the pick, but here we are. Detroit was not a bad second pick with eight points on the week against Washington. I had more faith in the Denver Broncos, but four points isn’t the worst we’ve done in this series this year.
The streamable defenses of the week article drops every Tuesday night on our website (www.weknowfantasy.com.) Here, we will include three defenses each week that are owned in less than 40-percent of Yahoo and/or ESPN leagues. We will also include at least one defense that is owned in less than 10-percent of Yahoo and/or ESPN leagues to cater to as many leagues and readers as possible. You can find last week’s results below and previous week’s results at the bottom of this article.
Week 12 Results
Seattle Seahawks at Philadelphia Eagles - 17 points
Detroit Lions at Washington - 8 points
Denver Broncos at Buffalo Bills - 4 point
Week 13 Streamable Defenses
New York Jets @ Cincinnati Bengals - Owned in 27% of Yahoo and 23.8% of ESPN leagues
The Jets’ defense has actually been rather good as of late. They have scored at least nine points in each of their last three games and have posted 16 and 18 point performances over that span. The Jets have two defensive touchdowns over the last two weeks, have two interceptions, three fumble recoveries and 13 sacks and now get the offense that has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to opposing defenses.
Carolina Panthers vs. Washington - Owned in 36% of Yahoo and 37.4% of ESPN leagues
The Panthers’ defense has definitely struggled as of late but earlier in the season, was one of the best defenses in the league. Prior to a three game stretch of not scoring more than three fantasy points, the Panthers’ defense top 11 points in five of six games. Against an offensive line as weak as Washington’s, we can expect the Panthers to get to Dwayne Haskins early and often, as they’ve had a seven and eight sack game already this season. They’ve only recorded one turnover the last three games as well but have played the Packers, Falcons and Saints, not the easiest stretch of games.
Arizona Cardinals vs. Los Angeles Rams - Owned in 1% of Yahoo and 4% of ESPN leagues
My options this week were slim when it came to picking a team owned in less than 10% of Yahoo and/or ESPN leagues. It came down to the Cardinals or Bengals and I gave the Cardinals the edge. The Los Angeles Rams are a team that was absolutely manhandled on Monday Night Football by the Baltimore Ravens. They’re 6-5 on the season but are simply a loss away from being knocked out of playoff contention. The Cardinals' defense is not playing bad as of late, posting nine and five points respectively over their last two games.
