I had a lot more confidence in my picks performing better than how they did this week. I was sure the Colts were going to stop the Dolphins and blow them out of the water. I was sure the struggling Jets would continue their ways and Sam Darnold would continue turning the ball over, but he didn’t. It wasn’t a complete wash of a week, but it could have been a lot better.
Each week I offer three defenses owned in less than 40% of Yahoo and/or ESPN leagues. I also include at least one defense than is owned in less than 10% of Yahoo and/or ESPN leagues. This article can be found on our website (www.weknowfantasy.com) every Tuesday night. You can find last week’s results below and previous week’s results at the bottom of the article.
Week 10 Results
Indianapolis Colts vs. Miami Dolphins - 8 points
New York Giants at New York Jets - 1 point
Kansas City Chiefs at Tennessee Titans - 5 points
Week 11 Streamable Defenses
New York Jets at Washington - Owned in 23% of Yahoo and 21.4% of ESPN leagues
Washington announced that Dwayne Haskins will finish the season as their starting quarterback. Let’s just say his appearances thus far have not gone well. Washington has finally admitted that the season is a wash and they are going down the inevitable youth movement route with Haskins, which is good for us who stream defenses. In 44 attempts, Haskins has four interceptions and has just 27 completions. Look for the likes of Jamal Adams and company to have a field day against Haskins, knowing that he’ll likely not be pulled no matter how bad he plays.
Oakland Raiders vs. Cincinnati Bengals - Owned in 6% of Yahoo and 1.3% of ESPN leagues
Don’t look now, but the Raiders are not only in contention for a wildcard spot in the AFC, but they are actually in a position 10 weeks deep of the season to compete for the AFC West title. They also get the winless Cincinnati Begnals this week and the offense that has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to opposing defenses. Last week the Raiders’ D posted a season high of 17 fantasy points on the back of three interception from Phillip Rivers on Thursday Night Football. It’s safe to assume that they won’t have another three interception night, but they’ve now had two straight games with at least two turnovers. Now they’re playing good football with a lot on the line against the league’s worst team. Now is the time to stream this defense.

Sam Darnold actually looked competent last week against the New York Giants when I went all in on the Giants’ defense. Now, I don’t think that Darnold can do it two weeks in a row. Prior to last week, Darnold had thrown 12 interceptions over four weeks. That doesn’t happen by accident. He’ll return to making some mistakes against this Washington defense where some points can be made. Let’s not forget that the Jets were the first team to make the Miami defense streamable all season.
