The matchups are tough to find a couple good defensive streamers for Week 10.
The elite defenses of the NFL have the pleasure of feasting on some the bottom-feeder offenses this week.
Plus, to find a defense at 50 percent rostered on both Yahoo! and Sleeper has been a hard one this week as well.
Let’s get into this week’s top picks!
Defensive Streamers
Green Bay (home against Minnesota; 26 percent on Yahoo!, 47 percent on Sleeper)
This game is the marquee matchup of the Week 10 schedule, and the Green Bay Packers get the chance to face the pedestrian offense of the Minnesota Vikings.
Even with Carson Wentz under center for the injured Kyler Murray, the Vikings offense was hard to watch on Monday.
Despite giving up 22.0 points a game in their last three contests, the Packers are providing plenty of the scoring opportunities on the defensive side of the ball.
Green Bay has forced 11 sacks and has 4 fumble recoveries and 4 interception in its last four games, including a 4-takeaway effort last week against the New England Patriots.
And the Vikings are the fourth worst offense on the road this season. Minnesota has averaged only 276.0 yards a game on the road.
The Packers are 3.5-point favorites.
New York Giants (home against Washington; 19 percent Yahoo!, 26 percent on Sleeper)
There was plenty of offense in the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders first matchup as the two tied 27-27 in Week 5.
The Commanders are a middle of the road team on offense as they average 328.8 yards a game, but it’s the Giants defense play at home which may be the difference in the rematch.
New York allows 273.8 yards a game in home contests this season, a 27.6 yards difference compared to their combined average for the season.
Plus the Giants are little more opportunistic at home as well, as they force 1.8 turnovers at home over their 1.3 average for the season.
And the Commanders, despite their mobile QBs, have allowed 2.5 sacks a game this season – plenty of opportunities for the Giants defensive line to score some easy defensive points after coming off of a 7-sack effort against the Philadelphia Eagles last week.
The Giants are 2.5-point favorites.
Indianapolis (home against Miami; 5 percent on Yahoo!, 6 percent on Sleeper)
We have a battle of two of the worst offenses in the league, but I’m going to go with the home team in this one.
The Dolphins average the second least yards on offense this season. Miami only averages 275.3 yards offense in road contests this season. And they were limited to only 228 yards in their home loss to the Detroit Lions.
Indianapolis will also get the chance to take advantage of the Dolphins’ weak pass blocking. Despite Malik Willis’ running ability, Miami allows 3 sacks a game and that number bumps up to 3.3 sacks a game on the road. The Colts average 2.0 sacks a game at home.
The Colts are 2.5-point favorite and the game only has a 40.5-point total.
