Top DSTs To Start in Week 10

Pittsburgh Steelers (vs. GB)

The Steelers’ defense consistently hovers around the top-12 territory from a fantasy football standpoint, and they have a solid matchup in Week 10 ahead of them with the Green Bay Packers.

While the Packers just won by 17 points over the Los Angeles Rams, the Rams were without Matthew Stafford and were not expected to put up much of a fight. Jordan Love and this Green Bay offense are still struggling to move the ball offensively. The Steelers’ defensive front should make life difficult for them this week.

Buffalo Bills (vs. DEN)

The Bills’ defense didn’t look its sharpest this past Sunday night against the Cincinnati Bengals, but Joe Burrow and company have turned things around recently and are back to being dominant.

Buffalo gets to turn right back around, though, and face off against a Denver Broncos offense that isn’t exactly striking fear into the hearts of their opponents. The Bills can be viewed as a solid start in Week 10.
