There isn’t always a ton of thought put into your fantasy football defense, but if you can manage the art of streaming, you’ll gain a huge advantage at the position over those in your league sticking with a team they elected to draft highly, like the San Francisco 49ers.
[Week 6 Half-PPR Fantasy Rankings: QBs | RBs | WRs | TEs | FLEX | D/ST | Kickers]
One of the top defensive matchups to stream against this year has been the New England Patriots, struggling offensively this year in Jerod Mayo’s first season as a head coach. Through five weeks, they’ve produced the second-fewest average yards per play (4.2) with the third-lowest scoring drive percentage in the league (26.4%) per PFF. It’s translated to the Patriots giving up the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing D/STs.
Whether you’ve been sold on streaming the Texans D/ST this week or you’re looking for some other options, you’re in the right spot. Here, our analysts reveal their Week 6 defense ranking to help you make your lineup decisions:
