The playoffs have arrived. Congrats to those of you who made it this far and best of luck. Even more luck to those of you who are not in the playoffs in leagues where the loser serves a punishment. If you are lucky enough to have a first-round bye, allow this to be a chance to leap over Week 16’s waivers and find your DST ahead of time.
In Week 15 and for the rest of the season no teams will be on a bye. The DSTs listed here will be available in 50% or more Fantrax Leagues.
Week 15 DST Streamers
Las Vegas Raiders
The Las Vegas DST has been playing better since Antonio Pierce took over this team. They’re fresh off an 11-point performance against the Minnesota Vikings, allowing only 3 points and 132 yards. In fact, since Pierce took the helm they have scored five or more in all but one contest and that was against Kansas City. They’ve got a short week against the Chargers who will send Easton Stick out to play QB with Justin Herbert out for the season. It’s a great opportunity for an overlooked DST to take advantage of.
Atlanta Falcons
I’ve said all year the Falcons DST is the reason why this team has been anywhere near mediocre. Sadly I mean that as a compliment. Now the Carolina Panthers come to town and they’ve somehow been even worse than you think they are. Just keep following the Panthers through the playoffs. For those of you on a BYE, you’ll want to add the Packers for next week.
Chicago Bears
I didn’t think I’d be here but the Bears have actually been playing some awesome defense down the stretch. 48 points scored in their last four games. Averaging 12 fppg? Wild numbers. Some solid offenses mixed in as well including the Lions twice and the Vikings. Chicago may be finally putting it together at the tail end of the season. Take advantage of a friendly matchup with Cleveland as you look to advance in the postseason.
New York Giants
The Giants DST has bounced back in recent weeks after getting smacked around by Las Vegas and Dallas. In their last three contests, they have caused 12 turnovers, eight sacks, and have allowed 16 ppg. They now face the New Orleans Saints who have struggled offensively through the latter half of the season. The Giants suddenly find themselves in the hunt for a playoff spot after staring down a potential top 3 pick. Expect their DST to come out ready to play.
Cincinnati Bengals
A bit of a desperation play. However, when limiting yourself to DSTs available in >50% of leagues you’ll have some. The Bengals have one game with more than two fantasy points in their last five games. That one game came a couple of days ago. Still, Minnesota is a juicy matchup. The statuses of Mattison and Jefferson are up in the air and Nick Mullins is getting the start. The Bengals could sneak their way into one of the friendliest matchups of the season depending on how practice goes for a couple of Vikings this week.
