3 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming Options for Week 2
The Chicago Bears host the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football in Week 2. What other defenses can you pick up off the waiver wire and play this week?

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.
