Pittsburgh Steelers DST

That’s my way of saying that I’m not too worried about a repeat performance from Will Levis — not on a short week against Mike Tomlin’s aggressive bunch that has multiple sacks in six of seven games.
Minnesota Vikings DST
In need of a streamer? A defense we had no interest in is very much trending in the right direction and gets a Falcons offense that benched their quarterback midweek — what more could you ask for?
The Vikings DST has scored 61 fantasy points over the past five weeks on the back of forcing seven turnovers in their past three games. If you don’t yet have your DST picked out for Week 9, there’s a good chance the Vikings are available!
