With Halloween landing on a Monday, I feel like I'm just crawling to the finish line all week. Last weekend felt kind of non-stop with events and plans, then Monday brought class parties for my kiddos, Halloween night trick-or-treating awesomeness happened, followed by Tuesday morning sleepiness and orneriness. And now we just need to make it to the end of the week. Hope you all are enjoying a little World Series action like we are and in honor of all my Chicago-based college buddies, go Cubs go! Here's Bob with this week's streaming defense suggestions and I'll be back with Week 9 rankings and start/sit later this week.

This game looks to be a shoot-out. If DEN gets up early this
could get ugly for OAK and beautiful for DEN Def. Good floor, great upside,
start 'em if you got 'em.

What to think of MIN after Monday Night's disgrace? You've got
to start them and hope for a rebound. They're still the top Def.

Another bounce back opportunity here, and the Giants give up
about 9 points a game to anyone.

LAR is now the 2nd most generous team to Defs, and CAR is still
a good defense. 1st best stream, even though they are going to be hard to
find on the waiver wire.

The Chargers should be owned higher than they are, Bosa has made
a huge difference and they are rolling lately. This week they get a good target
too, 2nd best stream.

Colts give up big points to good Defs. Packers are good not
great, but they make a nice stream this week, 3rd best.

CLE has crept out of the depths of targets lately and McCown
helps that, but 'how 'bout dem Boys'? Averaging over 10 points a game in their last
3 outings, let's take them as 4th best stream this week.

I like the Ravens this week. Ravens are averaging 11 points per game
this season, and no matter who starts at QB for PIT this week, with BAL at
home and challenging the division, I like the stream as the 5th best.

The Dolphins are only a good, not great Def. But they draw the
#1 target. Jets give up big points to good Defs. I like as the 6th best
stream.

Chargers are a generous team and the Titans keep getting
mentioned as a good stream, with mediocre results. This will be another one
of those. Start only if you don't have any other options.

Chargers ILB Denzel Perryman (hamstring) is expected to miss Week 9, and require "weeks" of rest.
According to the Union-Tribune San Diego, Perryman will probably remain sidelined until after the Chargers' Week 11 bye.
It's a big blow for a defense that has quietly come on since Joey Bosa got cooking. The Chargers were already woefully thin at inside linebacker. A veteran free agent signing is a possibility. Nov 1 - 7:18 PM

I was about to ask something similar. With Perryman out for the Chargers, Claiborne (CB) out for Dallas, and the likelihood that rookies Kessler (QB) and Coleman (WR) start for Cleveland.....what does all that mean to the Charger and Cowboy recommendations?
As always, thanks for your time and insight.
As for Perryman out, he was in when the Chargers were just so-so before Bosa. Bosa is the difference maker, so I don't think his absence changes things too much. And as for Claiborne out for the Cowboys, it's not about the Boys' defense, it's about Cleveland's penchance for giving. So again, I hold my predictions even in light of these changes.
