2024 Week 13 Top Streaming Defense and Special Teams for Fantasy Football
This week in fantasy football defense strategy, it’s all about finding those high-leverage spots where your DST can shine. Forget about banking on big-name teams with lackluster performances (looking at you, Baltimore and San Francisco) just because of reputation. To win that fantasy championship, we need to focus on matchups and make smart choices.
Last week, we saw some solid results from the top 5 DST adds:
1. Tampa Bay – 10 points
2. Washington – 4 points
3. Arizona – 11 points
4. Denver – 9 points
5. Chicago – 4 points
Not too shabby, right? And here’s the kicker – six of the top 10 defenses in Week 12 had less than 50% ownership on Yahoo. That just goes to show that streaming defenses is the way to go in fantasy football.
With no teams on bye in Week 13 (hooray!), let’s dive into the top 5 DST adds for this week:
1. Dallas (29%) vs NYG
2. Washington (63%) vs TEN
3. Tampa Bay (54%) @ CAR
4. Arizona (16%) @ MIN
5. Indianapolis (11%) @ NE
And keep an eye on Brock Purdy’s status against Buffalo (63%) as a bonus!
For those looking for higher-owned options, Washington Commanders (WAS, 63%) and Dallas Cowboys (DAL, 29%) are solid picks. Washington is facing a shaky Titans offense with Will Levis at the helm, while Dallas has proven its worth with a strong defense.
Don’t forget about Tampa Bay Buccaneers (TB, 54%) and Arizona Cardinals (ARI, 16%) for potential big plays this week. Both teams have favorable matchups that could lead to sacks and turnovers.
Lastly, consider targeting the Indianapolis Colts (IND, 11%) against the struggling New England offense. While the Colts may not be a top-tier defense, they could capitalize on New England’s issues and turn in a solid performance.
Looking ahead to Week 14, here are a few matchups to keep an eye on:
1. Miami vs Jets
2. New Orleans @ Giants
3. Tampa Bay vs Raiders
4. Jacksonville @ Titans
5. Cincinnati @ Cowboys
6. Buffalo @ Rams
7. Philadelphia vs Panthers
Remember, in fantasy football defense strategy, it’s all about staying ahead of the game and making smart, matchup-based choices. So light that match, leave the past behind, and get ready to burn the ships as you charge ahead to victory in your fantasy league!
