You made it to Week 6, welcome in. We only have two teams on bye this week but they’re both defenses that are above 50% rostered on Yahoo — the Vikings and Texans. So that means you should see a handful of managers in your league looking to fill a gap in their lineup this week. Below we’ll take a look at some D/ST streaming options based on Justin Boone’s recommendations from his waiver wire piece for Week 6.

Green Bay Packers vs. Bengals: The Packers allowed 40 points to the Cowboys in Week 4, which was big yikes. Green Bay is coming off the bye and at home in a matchup vs. QB Jake Browning, who is second in INTs (8) this season.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Cardinals: The Colts have had staggered results this season. This group has at least 13 fantasy points in three of five games this season. Arizona is down two RBs and QB Kyler Murray is dealing with a foot injury, which could limit his upside.

New England Patriots at Saints: New Orleans is showing signs of improvement but is still near the bottom of the league in points per game (18.4). Meanwhile, this Patriots defense just held Josh Allen and the Bills in check on the road.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Seahawks: The Jags enter MNF in Week 5 having scored at least eight fantasy points in every contest so far this season. The Seahawks are a tough draw but Jacksonville’s defense is forcing turnovers at an elite rate.

Dallas Cowboys at Panthers: The Cowboys defense may not be as bad as we thought. Dallas generated five sacks on Jets QB Justin Fields in Week 5. The Panthers are allowing the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season.
