Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

DEFENSES

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Indianapolis Colts: 42% rostered

• Next Opponents: PIT, @ATL, LV
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $7
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Yes, the Colts just gave up 34 points and 385 yards of offense to backup QB Jake Browning and the Bengals. But since Week 9 the Indianapolis defense averaged 15.4 points a game and has scored double-digit fantasy points in four of their five games during that stretch. Even in Sunday’s 34-14 loss to the Bengals, the opportunistic Colts got an interception return for a touchdown from safety Ronnie Harrison. The Colts have a lovely schedule over the next three weeks, getting the Steelers at home, the Falcons in Atlanta and the Raiders at home. That means matchups with QBs Kenny Pickett/Mitchell Trubisky, Desmond Ridder and Aidan O’Connell. Yum yum.

Los Angeles Rams: 17% rostered

• Next Opponents: WSH, NO, @NYG
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $7
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Here’s another defense you could potentially ride for the entirety of the fantasy playoffs. The Rams have been average as a real-life defense and poor as a fantasy defense, entering Week 14 ranked 19th in defensive DVOA and 30th in defensive fantasy scoring. But the Rams’ schedule is extremely favorable over the next three weeks. In Week 15, they get sack magnet Sam Howell and the Commanders. Howell has been sacked a league-high 58 times and has thrown 14 interceptions. In Week 16, Washington faces the erratic New Orleans offense. Saints QB Derek Carr has thrown three interceptions in his last three games. And in Week 17, the Commanders get the Giants, who are giving up a league-high 12.5 fantasy points per game to opposing defenses.

Atlanta Falcons: 32% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CAR, IND, @CHI
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Falcons rank 25th in defensive DVOA, and the loss of DT Grady Jarrett to a torn ACL has weakened their run defense. But Atlanta is certainly capable of scoring points against mediocre offenses. The Falcons’ D scored double-digit fantasy points against the Saints in Week 12 and the Jets in Week 13. This week, Atlanta gets a plum matchup against Carolina, which is giving up 11.5 fantasy points per game to opposing defenses. Panthers QB Bruce Young has been sacked 48 times and has thrown nine interceptions.

Las Vegas Raiders: 7% rostered

• Next Opponents: LAC, @KC, IND
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Raiders would only just a one-week rental, since you wouldn’t want to use them against the Chiefs in Week 16, but Las Vegas is a very appealing option for Week 16. The Raiders get a home date with the Chargers, who just lost QB Justin Herbert to a broken index finger. After giving up only 3 points to the Vikings in Week 14, the Raiders will now face untested backup QB Easton Stick. After a lousy first month of the season, the Las Vegas defense has become a fairly reliable source of fantasy points, averaging 9.4 points per game since Week 5.

Cincinnati Bengals: 25% rostered

• Next Opponents: MIN, @PIT, @KC
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Bengals rank near the bottom of the league in defensive DVOA, but Cincinnati entered Week 14 ranked a respectable 15th in defensive fantasy points per game. In Week 15, the Bengals will face the Vikings, who pulled QB Joshua Dobbs and inserted Nick Mullens during their unsightly 3-0 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Mullens will most likely get the start for Minnesota in Week 15. In 17 career starts, Mullen has thrown 22 interceptions and has been sacked 36 times.

Chicago Bears: 4% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CLE, ARI, ATL
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Bears’ defense has quietly become a very effective unit, holding three of its last four opponents to 13 or fewer points and averaging 11.0 fantasy points per game during that stretch. Chicago smothered the Detroit offense in Week 14, holding the Lions to 13 points, 267 yards of offense and 4.2 yards per play. The Bears intercepted Lions QB Jared Goff twice and sacked him four times. Chicago gets a favorable Week 14 matchup against Cleveland. While Browns QB Joe Flacco has been able to move the ball and put points on the board, he’s also made some mistakes. Flacco has thrown two interceptions in his two starts for Cleveland.
