Defense (DST) Streamers For Week 10 Fantasy Football: Pick Up The Ravens

Last week was a good one for our streaming defenses, as the Chiefs, Lions, and Bears all delivered solid fantasy scores. Week 10 is likely to be a very competitive one when it comes to streaming DSTs because the Bears, Broncos, Eagles, and Buccaneers are all on bye. The first three of those DSTs are widely rostered and will have managers looking for a replacement.

Week 10 Fantasy Football Defense (DST) Streaming Strategy

For this article, I will only consider DSTs that are rostered in fewer than 50% of leagues on Yahoo. When selecting a streaming defense, the upcoming week is by far the most important, but I will also point out when there are favorable upcoming schedules that will allow you to roster the same defense for a few weeks.

When figuring out which defense I want to start in any given week, I am primarily looking for DSTs with the ability to create sacks and turnovers rather than minimizing points allowed to the other team, although those two things are correlated. I think this is one of the bigger mistakes fantasy managers make when thinking about fantasy defenses. As you will see in this article, I am generally focused on three things: offensive line play, QB turnover rates, and game script.

Defenses To Stream In Week 10 Fantasy Football

Baltimore Ravens - 37% rostered

The Ravens have the perfect get-right game just when they need it. After losing Lamar Jackson and struggling in back-to-back games, they will get to host the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. Baltimore has been an average defense in most metrics so far, but that should be good enough against the train wreck that is the Chargers offense.

The Ravens are also coming off a mini-bye, having last played on Thursday Night Football. That extra time off should allow them to get Jacoby Brissett up to speed on the offense and give the defense extra time for game planning. If the offense is more functional with Brissett, that will help the defense by keeping them off the field for longer stretches and giving them better field position.

The Chargers ended their incredible TD-less streak at 37 possessions in a row without finding the end zone. But they ended that streak in garbage time; I didn't see anything during competitive play that suggests the Chargers are figuring things out. Justin Herbert threw another interception and has at least one in every game this season. Baltimore will look to keep that streak going and should have a good chance to do so as home favorites in a primetime game.

Baltimore should also be a decent streaming option in Week 11 against the Carolina Panthers now that Bryce Young has returned to the up-and-down QB play we are used to seeing from him.

Buffalo Bills - 18% rostered

As I'm writing this, I haven't yet seen how the Bills fared on Monday Night Football, but regardless of how that game goes, they have a favorable matchup against the Jets in Week 10. Geno Smith may not be turning the ball over often, but his 28 sacks taken are the third most at the position. The Bills are favored by 8.5 points in the early line and should be able to put up points on the Jets defense. This is the classic case of betting on a positive game script and forcing the opposition to try to throw to keep up. The more Smith drops back to throw, the more opportunities the Buffalo defense has to record sacks and turnovers.

The Bills are also a defense you can roster for multiple weeks, which is a nice bonus. After their game against the Jets, they will host the Dolphins in Week 11, another great matchup to take advantage of.

Miami Dolphins - 1% rostered

As I mentioned in the intro, I expect it to be a competitive week for streaming DSTs. With that in mind, I want to offer a DST that is available in every league and will probably fly under the radar in the first waiver run. Miami isn't great, but they haven't been a total disaster either. They have scored 3+ fantasy points in five consecutive games and are coming off their best performance, scoring 6 fantasy points and limiting the Detroit offense to just 19 points and 270 total yards.

They have a considerably easier matchup against a Colts team that has lost five straight games and may trade away Jonathan Taylor this week. Neither team is going to make it to the playoffs, but the Colts seem to be losing momentum by the week, while the Dolphins have actually been keeping games competitive in recent weeks.

I like this matchup because Daniel Jones has thrown an interception in four straight games and has at least one in eight of his nine appearances this year. His 10 interceptions this season are the third-most among all QBs, behind only Justin Herbert and Drake Maye. It's not a 100% certainty that Indianapolis will trade Jonathan Taylor, but it seems to be trending that way. If they do trade him, this offense becomes an even better matchup for opposing DSTs.
