D/ST

Packers (SIT): As it happens, both of these defenses have been viable streaming options over the past few weeks. In the last two games, the Bears are the No. 1 D/ST, the Packers at No. 3.

Green Bay’s defense registered five interceptions and a forced fumble versus Seattle last week, piling up 19 fantasy points.

They aren’t a bad streaming option if you’re desperate this week, but there are likely better options available to you. If Houston (at Jacksonville), Buffalo (vs. Cleveland), Atlanta (vs. San Francisco) or Miami (at NY Jets) are available, choose one of them.

Bears (SIT): Despite the Bears D/ST’s recent success, don’t start them. Over the past four weeks, the Packers have allowed a league-low 1.50 fantasy points per game to opposing defenses.

Banged up or not, Aaron Rodgers should be able to move the football down the field. The Packers have allowed only four sacks over the past four weeks, and Rodgers hasn’t thrown a single interception.

If you’re looking for a streaming option, view the teams listed above. If none are available, I’d pick the Packers D/ST over the Bears.
