Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: Defense

DEFENSES

Written by Pat Fitzmaurice

Philadelphia Eagles: 33% rostered

• Next Opponents: CLE, @NYG, @CIN
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Philly defense is averaging 3.5 fantasy points per game and has been an inconsistent unit overall. However, the Eagles get good matchups the next two weeks against the Browns and Giants. The Cleveland offense generated only 13 points and 212 yards Sunday against a Washington defense that has been among the worst in the league this season. Deshaun Watson has already been sacked 26 times and is averaging an anemic 4.9 yards per pass attempt. In Week 7, the Eagles get a solid matchup against the turnover-prone Daniel Jones and the Giants.

Houston Texans: 41% rostered

• Next Opponents: @NE, @GB, IND
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Houston defense held a potent Buffalo offense to 276 yards on Sunday. The Texans haven’t been a good fantasy defense to this point, failing to force a turnover in any of their last three games. But that could change this week against the Patriots. New England is averaging 12.4 points per game and had given up the fourth-most fantasy points to team defenses heading into Week 5.

Los Angeles Chargers: 12% rostered

• Next Opponents: @DEN, @ARI, NO
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $2
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Averaging 9.5 fantasy points per game, the Chargers ranked sixth in defensive fantasy scoring going into their Week 5 bye. Now fresh and well rested, the Chargers get a Week 6 date against a mediocre Broncos offense. Denver’s rookie quarterback, Bo Nix, has thrown four interceptions this season.

Atlanta Falcons: 5% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CAR, SEA, @TB
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: After getting a few extra days of rest following their thrilling Thursday-night win over the Buccaneers, the Falcons draw a Week 6 matchup against the Panthers, whose offense stumbled against the Bears in Week 5. Carolina committed three turnovers and took four sacks Sunday in Chicago.

Cincinnati Bengals: 14% rostered

• Next Opponents: @NYG, @CLE, PHI
• True value: $1
• Desperate Need: $1
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Bengals are giving up 29.0 points per game and ranked 28th in defensive fantasy scoring entering Week 5, so this isn’t about the quality of the Cincinnati D. This is about a Week 6 matchup against a Giants offense that has committed seven turnovers. The Giants had given up the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses through the first four weeks of the season — then gave up a 101-yard fumble return for a touchdown against Seattle on Sunday.
