Week 8 – Fantasy Football DST Streaming Options

New York Jets @ New York Giants

First and foremost, check to make sure the Jets weren’t dropped last week. Their bye week was in Week 7 and with traditional redraft leagues, there’s always a chance that someone dropped a good defense due to their bye week. Additionally, the Jets are a top-10 defense (DST) in just about every format out there. Before you look for a streaming option, check to make sure the Jets aren’t available. They’re currently rostered in 53.3% of Sleeper redraft leagues.

Detroit Lions vs. Las Vegas Raiders

After a rough road loss to the Ravens, there’s a good chance the Lions are available on the waiver wire. As of Wednesday morning, the Lions are rostered in 40% of all redraft leagues on Sleeper. In a nice spot to bounce back this week, the Lions get a home matchup against the Raiders. Look for Detroit to bounce back and remind everyone that they are for real.

Jacksonville Jaguars @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Finally, the Jacksonville Jaguars are a solid streaming DST this week to target. Rostered in just 29% of Sleeper leagues, the Jaguars go on the road this week to face off against Kenny Pickett and the Pittsburgh Steelers. You can grab this DST off the waiver wire and start them confidently this week.
