3 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming Options for Week 3

The Dallas Cowboys go up against the poor offensive line of the Seattle Seahawks in Week 3. Which other defenses available on the waiver wire are worth a play this week?

After a so-so performance in Week 1, our Week 2 streamers rebounded with two top-10 performances. Both the Chicago Bears (first) and New York Jets (seventh) were among the best defensive plays of the week. Meanwhile, Washington finished middle of the pack, posting the 16th-best fantasy score in Week 2.

Heading into Week 3, we're getting a clearer picture of each team's strengths and weaknesses. This week, we're targeting the team who has allowed the most sacks on the season and both sides of one game that should be one of the lowest-scoring affairs of the week.

For any new readers to this column, every week we sift through the waiver wire to identify low-owned teams set up with a great matchup. The focus will be on teams owned in about 50% or fewer of Yahoo fantasy leagues. Our goal is to identify teams poised to finish as a top-12 scorer (start-able in standard leagues) for that given week.

Here are three defenses you can pick up off the waiver wire and play in Week 3.
