Top DST Streamers for Week 6
Check out our top fantasy defense streamers for Week 6, who are all rostered in less than 50% of Yahoo leagues.
Week 6 Byes: Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers
Atlanta Falcons (vs. Washington) – 9% rostered
The Washington Commanders have been cringy as of late, losing three games in a row. Sam Howell has thrown five interceptions in the last three games and has been sacked 29 times so far this season. The Atlanta Falcons have been better than expected, and they are a good option to stream when the Commanders come to town.
Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Indianapolis) – 16% rostered
There is a high chance that the Jacksonville Jaguars defense will be on your waiver wire — they played the Buffalo Bills in Week 5, and managers were moving in another direction.
They have a better matchup in Week 6 against an Indianapolis Colts team that may have backup QB Gardner Minshew II under center. The Jags look revitalized after their second game in London and win over the Bills, and they should be a good streaming option this week.
Las Vegas Raiders (vs. New England) – 1% rostered
There is something broken in New England, and Bill Belichick cannot seem to fix it. After two back-to-back blowouts, first losing to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, then to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5 by 34 points, the Patriots have only scored three points over the course of two weeks. Backup QB Bailey Zappe has been put in the game to bat “clean up” in each of the last two weeks.

This week, the Saints’ defense logged two sacks, two interceptions, and a fumble recovery for a TD against the Patriots, and I will be personally targeting whichever team is playing the Pats going forward. In Week 6, that lucky team is the Las Vegas Raiders.
