Top DSTs To Start in Week 8
Detroit Lions (vs. LV)
The Detroit Lions’ defense had been on a roll to begin the season, but they ran into a freight train in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens and ended up crushing fantasy managers who chose to start them in fantasy football.
However, they’re going to come out seething in Week 8 and ready to shut down the Las Vegas Raiders’ offense that should have Jimmy Garoppolo back. Don’t hesitate to plug them right back into your starting lineup.
Miami Dolphins (vs. NE)
The Miami Dolphins’ defense has been a disappointment so far this season, but they’re in a prime spot to be a solid streaming option in Week 8 against the New England Patriots’ offense.
The Patriots caught the Buffalo Bills by surprise in Week 7 and ended up winning that matchup, but we have a larger sample size to indicate that this offense isn’t one that fantasy managers should fear. Miami’s a solid start in Week 8.
