Fantasy Football Defense Streaming Week 17: Let's Win The Whole Thing
Championship week is here, and that means if you’re still reading this, you have everything on the line this week. You’ll also have less competition for streaming DSTs, so we’ll stick with three options. I don’t love a ton of options because all the best matchups for streaming teams are on the road.
I don’t love that, but when you have the top two teams in aFPA to opposing defenses you have to make the swing even if they are on the road. It has been an incredible season and I hope you found this article helpful every week!

Week 16 Review
I felt really good about our four picks last week, but what I didn’t consider was that Arizona was just going to lay down and essentially quit against the Panthers. That’s unfortunate and was a big miss as they tied for last in DST scoring of the week last week.
On the other hand, Atlanta, Cincinnati, and Green Bay were the top three scoring defenses on the week. So we had three monster hits and one colossal miss. That’s about how it has gone this season on average. Thankfully, I was able to add Cincinnati in my one remaining home league and was able to make it through to the Championship because of their big week. Hopefully, you were able to do the same!
Overall, we’re at 43 hits and 17 misses this year.
Top Defensive Streaming Options for Week 17
Indianapolis Colts at New York Giants
Rostered in 48% of Yahoo leagues
As we saw last week, the Giants are just a disaster offensively. No matter who is under center, the opposing defense has a shot at finishing at the top of the DST rankings on a given week. Indianapolis has had a few solid weeks this week but hasn’t been a standout this season.
Somehow, the Giants aren’t the bottom offense against opposing DSTs, but they are 31st in aFPA. So, this is an incredible matchup for the Colts regardless of who starts for New York this week.
