Week 13 Fantasy Football Streamers at DST
Chicago Bears (vs. DET)
The Bears fall just below 60% owned in ESPN leagues, thanks to getting dropped by many owners due to the Packers matchup. If you are in a league where they were dropped or are available, pick them up. They take on the Lions at home this week. Detroit is reeling after losing their head coach and general manager. The Bears are still in the playoff hunt and this will be a must-win situation. Detroit will struggle to move the ball all game. D’Andre Swift could return this week, but Kenny Golladay is out again. The Bears also take on the Texans at home in Week 14, so you are looking at a situation where you could start the Bears two weeks in a row, depending on how poor the Texans look without Will Fuller in the lineup. So, they are more than just a streamer.
Green Bay Packers (vs. PHI)
The Packers came through for this article last week, and I’m rolling with them again at home against the Eagles. The Philadelphia offense isn’t scaring anyone right now. They are 28th in yards/game and 25th in points/game. It seems that Carson Wentz’s job is in jeopardy every week. He is arguably struggling more than any other quarterback in the NFL and can’t seem to get anything going. The Packers offense does a great job at keeping their defense off the field, putting them in good situations. The Eagles will likely play from behind for most of the game, which means opportunities for turnovers and sacks — a perfect situation for a streamer defense.

Seattle Seahawks (vs. NYG)
I have been eyeing this part of the Seahawks’ schedule for defensive purposes all season. However, I was forced to drop them because they couldn’t seem to get it together. I wish I hadn’t, because things are finally turning around. They have looked strong the past couple weeks, recording nine sacks over that span. The return of Jamal Adams has been instrumental for this defense. Adams is doing exactly what Seattle brought him to do. Daniel Jones is questionable for this game with a hamstring injury. Even if he plays, he probably won’t be at a 100%. Like the Packers, the Seattle defense is attached to a good offense, putting them in good situations all game. Seattle is a strong streamer against a poor offense.
