The third week of the fantasy football season is in the books, and boy was it a wild week. When it comes to fantasy football streamers, the defense/special teams position is always one to monitor consistently on the waiver wire. In deep formats, it can be hard to find a defense that returns a solid value, which is why many fantasy owners opt to intentionally stream the position all season long, playing positive matchups over drafting a highly-regarded unit. For those looking to do just that, read on for three fantasy football Week 4 defense streamers that are worth consideration.
Defenses must be owned in less than 50 percent of ESPN leagues to be included in the fantasy football Week 4 defense streamers column. All ownerships for defenses will be provided and will reflect that of Wednesday morning, once waivers are processed.
Fantasy Football Week 4 Defense Streamers
Denver Broncos at LV (33.0%)
Despite the memes surrounding Russell Wilson and the lackluster Denver Broncos offense, the defense has been very good and has only allowed 38 points in three games total. The pass rush and secondary are strong, and they face the Las Vegas Raiders this week, who have been struggling mightily to start the season. Denver has forced four turnovers so far and hasn’t had a tough time getting to the opposing quarterback, totaling nine sacks so far. They currently rank as the DST4 in fantasy football so far.
Chicago Bears at NYG (9.8%)
I’d usually steer away from anything Chicago Bears related in fantasy football, but they face the New York Giants this week. The pass rush isn’t strong whatsoever, totaling only six sacks through three games, but Daniel Jones is bound to make mistakes. The linebackers will certainly confuse him enough to make bad throws or decisions like he did on Monday Night Football against Dallas. Overall, they are a low-end fantasy football Week 4 defense streamers option, but could get the job done at such low ownership.

Philadelphia Eagles vs. JAX (48.2%)
Normally, you’d play most defenses that face the Jaguars because the offense was usually lackluster, but that isn’t necessarily the case this season. This game could end up being a high-scoring affair, but that shouldn’t steer you away from starting the Eagles defense. They’ve been dominant on both sides of the ball and allowed just 13 points in their last two games, including a nine-sack performance last week. If the pass rush is still there and Darius Slay can shut down Trevor Lawrence’s go-to option, they should post a solid fantasy performance.
