Bob is rolling with his weekly sage advice on which defenses to stream, so read on!
Welcome to Week 7 streams. We had some mixed results last
week. I warned you about the Rams but missed on PIT. Boy, are the Steelers
terrible? And they were owned in 82% leagues, that had to hurt. Average for highly
owned only eked out 8 pts overall, pulled down by a lagging CAR defense. They
drop to a stream option in the future. Missed on OAK stream as I cautioned. I’ll
not be picking them again. And I missed on dissing KC, but still don’t believe
in them yet.

Now on to this week. There are some juicy starts on the
stream side and some cautions on the highly owned.

Week
7 Highly Owned

DEN

HOU

HOU has a way of giving up points to good defs, so start DEN with
confidence.
|
|
ARI
|
SEA

SEA has yet to meet a good def. Well that changes this week and
I predict ARI has a big week, start 'em.
|
|
NEP

@PIT

PIT has left the building with Big Ben out, this will be nasty
for AB and PIT, start the Pats with confidence.
|
|
MIN
|
@PHI

You have to start the Vikings even against a stingy PHI. Wentz
will struggle again and MIN will put up big points…again.
|
|
SEA
|
@ARI
|
96%
|
10
|
Did you know ARI has surrendered 25 and 16 pts to the Bills and
Rams respectively? They will give up big pts to SEA, start 'em with
confidence.
|
|
BUF
|
@MIA
|
88%

MIA is averaging 11.5 pts/game to defs, and BUF can tear you
apart. Start the Bills big.
|
|
PHI
|
MIN
|
86%

|
Beware this start, MIN does not turn it over, and protects their
QB. MIN is only averaging 5.8 pts to Defs, PHI is a good DEF but temper your
expectations.
|
|
LAR

NYG

The Giants seem to give up avg points to everyone they play. If
you're happy with 8 points, start the Rams.
|
|
PIT

Again, PIT is highly owned and I don't get it. People they suck
on DEF! They had 0, Zero points last week against a top 10 target. Start at your
own peril.

Broncos are struggling, and have given up 13 points in last 2 games
to so-so Defs. I see HOU taking a bite out of them as a good defense. Best
stream of the week.
|
|
TEN
|
IND
|
60%

Titans are trending up and the Colts are trending down. IND is a
bonafide target now, so start TEN as 2nd best stream.
|
|
CIN
|
CLE
|
47%
|

|
CLE is still a juicy target surrendering over 10 pts a game. Playing
in Cincy, the Bengals will put DEF points on the board. Third best stream.
|
|
BAL
|
@NYJ

I like the road dog this week. The Jets can give up big points and
BAL is a capable Def. Start as 4th best stream.
|
|
GB
|
CHI
|
41%

|
And if you don't have any other options, give the Packers a
shot. Chi can be had on defense and GB is getting better and better. 5th overall
stream.

As always, good luck and keep streaming.
