Week 14 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming: Back to the Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals

Yahoo Ownership: 34%
numberFire Projected Rank: 9th

We've streamed the Cincinnati Bengals previously with mixed results, but we're going back to the well with them this week as they host Mitchell Trubisky and the Chicago Bears.

Over the past four weeks, three of four teams to face the Bears have finished as a top-nine defense on the week -- the only exception being the San Francisco 49ers last week. Over that span, Trubisky has taken multiple sacks in three out of four, and he's committed at least one turnover in two of those games.

On the other side, the Bengals have continued to be solid for fantasy purposes, finishing as a top-12 defense in two of their past four games. On the road, Trubisky may find himself under pressure often on Sunday as the Bengals rank fourth in the league in quarterback hits (82) and fifth in sacks (34).

This game is projected to be low scoring with just a 39.5 point over/under, the lowest on the week as of now. But the Bengals are a 6.0-point favorite, giving the Bears the lowest implied team total of the week at just 16.75. This might not be an entertaining game to watch, but against a rookie quarterback as a home favorite, the Bengals are the top streaming option of the week.
