Streaming Defenses- Week 17

We should expect Atlanta and possibly a few other playoff bound teams to be resting their starters come week seventeen. This will clearly impact which defenses can be relied upon in the last week of the regular season.

Analysis: An interesting defense to take a look at is the Chargers defensive unit. They have played well this year and have Oakland in week seventeen. We don’t know what the status of Carson Palmer will be but we do know that the Raiders haven’t scored over 20 points in a game since week nine. San Diego’s defense is in the top five of the NFL in sacks and ranks in the top half of the league in takeaways, interceptions, yards allowed and points against.

The Bills are another team to take a look at this week. They are at home against the Jets in week seventeen and that is always good news. The Jets rank in the bottom five of the NFL in points per game, yards per game and giveaways. It is a risk starting the Buffalo D especially when considering they turn the ball over a ton and struggle to put up points and dictate games but they are worth a look.

Streaming Defenses- Week 7

The Buffalo Bills have a home contest with the turnover prone Titans in week seven.

Analysis: The Buffalo defense has been hit and miss this year but don’t expect the Titans to torch them in week seven. Although the Titans did score 26 points last Thursday on the Steelers, they did fumble the rock twice(losing none) and Matt Hasselbeck did throw one interception. The Titans now have eleven turnovers in six games this year as well as the 23rd ranked offense in terms of points per game(19.0). The Titans don’t scare any defenses out there, they have only scored more than 14 points in just two ball games this year. Matt Hasselbeck and his 74.1 passer rating will be starting in week seven as Jake Locker remains out with a shoulder injury.

The Bills’ defense has been inconsistent but with Atlanta, Philly, Miami and Denver on their bye week the Bills are a solid choice to stream. Buffalo’s defense ranks 10th in the league in sacks, 14th in interceptions, 3rd in forced fumbles and 6th in fumble recoveries. All signs point to a solid Buffalo performance in week seven.
