Last week was a strong week for defensive streaming. Our top two picks -- the Cleveland Browns and the Detroit Lions -- both had good performances, and the deep option in the Atlanta Falcons didn't kill lineups.
Last week, I reluctantly agreed to look ahead, so those recommendations will remain at the end of the column with any changes if applicable. I don't endorse holding more than one defense except in leagues with very deep benches (in other words, no running backs or wide receivers of interest are available), since it's almost always a better idea to add a handcuff running back at this point in the season or even an upside wide receiver.
