Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire: D/ST options to consider streaming
It's Week 17 and that means for many of you it's the fantasy football championship round in your league. Defense is one of the few positions in fantasy that can be a revolving door for managers week-to-week. So streaming is going to be of the most importance in Week 17. Let's get into some good D/ST streaming options via Justin Boone's weekly waiver wire column.
Fantasy Football Week 17 D/ST StreamersLions D/ST is 55% rostered but would be the No. 1 DST add if available.
| Team | Next Up | Rostered |
| Patriots | at NYJ | 49% |
| Buccaneers | at MIA | 40% |
| Giants | at LV | 11% |
| Titans | vs. NO | 18% |
| Cowboys | at WAS | 25% |
Patriots at Jets: If New England is still available, get on that add immediately. The Patriots still have a ton to play for (the AFC East title and No. 1 seed in the conference). New York has very little to play for and will continue to start Brady Cook, who has thrown six interceptions over the past three games.
Bucs at Dolphins: This is another spot with a team playing for everything vs. a team playing for nothing. Quinn Ewers made his first start for Miami in Week 16 and things were #bad. He turned the ball over a few times and finished with a 66 passer rating. Tampa Bay's defense hasn't been spectacular for fantasy but that could change in Week 17.
Giants at Raiders: New York's D/ST was an offside penalty away from posting a lopsided total vs. the Vikings in Week 16. Still, the G-Men finished with 15 fantasy points against Minnesota thanks to plenty of sacks and a defensive score. Las Vegas is allowing the most fantasy points to defenses this season.
Titans vs. Saints: This one is a bit scary but worth considering if you're desperate. The Titans posted 10 fantasy points this past week vs. Kansas City thanks to four sacks and allowing just nine points. New Orleans' offense has been clicking lately but the Saints still allow the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season.
Cowboys at Commanders: Washington is down Jayden Daniels and could be without backup Marcus Mariota in Week 17. If that's the case, Josh Johnson will start at QB for the Commanders. Both teams are out of playoff contention but Dallas will have a good chance at a few turnovers (especially if it's Johnson starting).
