3 Fantasy Football Defensive Streaming Options for Week 15
Atlanta Falcons
Yahoo Ownership: 16%
numberFire Projected Rank: 4th
The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the worst defenses throughout the 2018 season. In fact, they rank as the worst overall unit, per our schedule-adjusted numbers. But in Week 15, they face our worst-rated offense in the Arizona Cardinals, a team that has given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season.
Over the past five weeks, three teams to face the Cardinals have come away with a top-eight fantasy finish. That includes the Detroit Lions in Week 14 as Detroit went into Arizona and had three sacks and one pick versus Josh Rosen.
Rosen has struggled with turnovers this season. Over his 10 starts, the rookie quarterback has 13 turnovers (11 interceptions and 2 fumbles). Rosen's 12 interceptions on the season are the fourth-most among all quarterbacks.
The Falcons are 8.5-point home favorites in this matchup, and playing at home should be a boost to their offense. Atlanta is averaging 28 points per game at home this year, compared to 20 points per game on the road. If Matt Ryan and the Falcons build a lead early, it should be a difficult day for Rosen as well as a big fantasy day for the Falcons' defense.
