Fantasy Football Defense Streaming Week 5: Double Down Against the Raiders
Week 5 is here and that means so are the bye weeks. Streaming defenses become even more important as the pool gets shorter. Last week was another bizarre week for defensive fantasy scoring, as we saw teams like Detroit, Jacksonville (more on them later), Chicago, and Miami all finish as top ten defenses this week. Blocked kicks were back en vogue again this week as well.
The Chargers went to the East Coast against a rookie and produced their biggest dud of the year, because of course. San Francisco straight-up lost to Jacksonville in two of the bigger upsets of the week. It’s also time to acknowledge the home/road splits for Michael Penix Jr., as it’s going to be tough to play a DST, outside of the elite ones, in Atlanta—overall, 1-2-1 for the week, and 6-5-3 overall for the year. It will be tougher, but we will try to improve this week as we’ll have a shorter pool with bye weeks starting.
