3 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming Options for Week 2

During the first half of Sunday night's game, the Chicago Bears' defense looked downright dominant against the Green Bay Packers. Led by the recently-acquired Khalil Mack, their defense tallied four first-half sacks, one fumble recovery, and a pick-six by the aforementioned Mack.

While we all know how the Bears lost a 17-0 first half advantage to the heroics of Aaron Rodgers, they head into Week 2 against a Seattle Seahawks team that struggled to protect Russell Wilson in Week 1.

Facing the Denver Broncos last week, the Seattle offensive line gave up 6 sacks and allowed 11 hits -- the third most by an offense line in Week 1. Wilson also threw two interceptions and the Broncos' defense picked up a fumble by Chris Carson, which gave them the 10th-highest fantasy score by a defense in Week 1.

Wilson should once again be under duress in Week 2 as he and the Seahawks head into Chicago for a Monday night matchup as 3.5-point underdogs. The Bears are owned in nearly 50% of Yahoo leagues, but if they're sitting on your waiver wire, they make a great streaming option. Looking forward, they'll be a quality play in Week 3 when they travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals.
