    Much like in the NFL, defense can sometimes be the difference between mediocrity and contending for a championship in fantasy football. One of the best strategies for ensuring that you put your best foot forward at the D/ST position each week is to rely on fantasy football defense streamers. The number of defenses that are elite enough to start every week is slim to none. Playing the matchups week-to-week is often the best bet for maximizing fantasy production.

    For those who operate on this strategy, pull up a chair and get comfortable. Each week, this column will highlight some of the top fantasy football defense streamers that are widely available and ready to be scooped up at a moment’s notice. Without further ado, let’s dive into our top D/ST streamers and best positional matchups for Week 2.

    Note: Players must be owned in less than 60% of ESPN leagues to be included in the best fantasy football defense streamers column. Ownership percentages will reflect their status on Wednesday mornings following standard waiver processing.

    Fantasy Football Week 2 Defense Streamers

    Los Angeles Chargers (43.0%)

    For years now, the Chargers have been a talent-laden defense that has regularly failed to meet expectations. Fortunately for all of us, “defensive guru” Brandon Staley is no longer calling the shots. In Week 1, the Bolts’ defense impressed under Jim Harbaugh and new coordinator, Jesse Minter. The Chargers chalked up four sacks and three takeaways while holding the rival Las Vegas Raiders to just ten points.

    Based on that effort in the opener and the matchup on deck, it’s quite surprising that the Chargers are still available in well over half of leagues. Week 2 sees Los Angeles travel east to take on a lowly Carolina Panthers outfit. The Panthers added weapons in the offseason, but it certainly didn’t help Bryce Young any in the season opener. The Chargers make for an excellent fantasy football defense streamers option this week and beyond with several other favorable matchups upcoming.

    Jacksonville Jaguars (42.9%)

    Overall, it wasn’t an incredibly sexy performance from the Jaguars defense in Week 1. The final stat line included 400 yards allowed, three sacks and no takeaways. However, the fact that Jacksonville held a dangerous Miami Dolphins offense to only 20 points is noteworthy. This figures to be a solid all-around unit in 2024, and there is good reason for fantasy managers to consider utilizing the Jaguars as a D/ST streamer in Week 2.

    The Jags will host the Cleveland Browns in their home opener on Sunday. Yes, these are the same Cleveland Browns that have Mr. Creep himself, Deshaun Watson, quarterbacking their offense. Despite optimism that this might finally be the year he returns to his old self, Watson was downright horrendous in Week 1. From a new lawsuit to contending with the DUUUVAL faithful, all signs point toward Watson rewarding those who stream the Jaguars’ defense this week.

    Indianapolis Colts (7.4%)

    Sometimes, injuries can result in a matchup becoming far more appealing for fantasy football defense streamers than it otherwise would be. That is precisely the case when it comes to the Colts in Week 2. In a vacuum, Indianapolis is largely expected to be an average defense or worse this season. The Colts wouldn’t be a great streamer most weeks, let alone in a matchup against the young, up-and-coming Green Bay Packers.

    All of that changed when quarterback Jordan Love went down with an injury in Week 1. With Love set to miss the next month of action, the Packers’ lack of a contingency plan has been brought to the forefront. At the time of writing, Green Bay is poised to start Malik Willis, who is still largely unfamiliar with the offense and has never thrown for 100 yards in any prior NFL start. The Colts’ defense has incredible potential this week and can be obtained in even the deepest of leagues.

    Henry’s passion for sports dates all the way back to childhood and has ultimately led to a full-fledged career as an analyst and content creator. After getting his start penning fantasy football articles, he forrayed into the betting side of the business in early 2019. His love for sports and statistics proved to be an ideal match with the dedicated research and strategy that handicapping requires. Henry currently specializes in betting analysis and picks for college football, college basketball and NASCAR. He counts the NFL, the WNBA, and NBA player props as additional leagues/markets of interest. Henry graduated from SUNY Buffalo in 2021 with a Communication Studies degree and a Psychology minor. A native of the Finger Lakes region in Upstate New York, he and his pup, Harold, have since relocated to Laramie, Wyoming. Thanks to his professional goals within the sports betting industry, there has been a whole lot of steam on the odds for a move to Las Vegas in 2023! Most of Henry’s free time is spent on outdoor adventures, playing chess, snowboarding, or reading a good book. He is also a competitive powerlifter and aspires to qualify for the USAPL Nationals meet within the next 2-3 years.
