As mentioned above with the Bills, this matchup between Buffalo and Detroit shouldn't be a high-scoring game, so it's worth looking at both defenses as potential streamers.

The Bills have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season, and the offensive line has had issues protecting the quarterback all year. On the season, the Bills have allowed the eighth-most sacks (39) and ninth-most hits on the quarterback (86). While the Lions' defense ranks bottom-five, per numberFire metrics, they do sit in the top-10 in sacks (39). Those numbers have been boosted by the fact that this Lions' D has posted multiple sacks in each of their past four games.

Even though Josh Allen has flashed promise this season, he's thrown only five touchdowns in his eight starts, compared to nine interceptions. Against the Jets last week, Allen threw two interceptions, lost a fumble, and took three sacks. The Jets finished the week as the eighth-best fantasy defense.

The Lions are actually 2.5-point favorites in this projected low-scoring game. Only the matchup between Washington and Jacksonville has a lower projected total. If you're digging deep for streaming options, the Lions' D/ST could post its second straight solid fantasy day.
