If you avoided drafting a defense early and instead, opted for the streaming route, I’d like to congratulate you… because that strategy appears to have won out in Week 1. Here’s a look at how the top-five defenses off the board (in order of ADP) this season finished in standard Yahoo scoring for opening week:
-
San Francisco: DEF12
-
Baltimore: DEF19
-
New York Jets: DEF27
-
Dallas: DEF7
-
Cleveland: DEF28
Meanwhile, the top-scoring units on the week were waiver wire gems, with the New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers all finishing top five.
