We’ll rank out a few D/ST options to get you ready for Week 15. Throughout the week, we will update each of these articles as ownership percentages change (via Yahoo!) and news arrives.
Waiver wire D/ST rankings, Week 15
1. Houston Texans (44 percent owned)
The Texans are coming off a win against the Colts to face a struggling Jaguars offense. The Houston defensive unit should be a strong start for Week 15.
2. Atlanta Falcons (42 percent owned)
Atlanta will face the inconsistent San Francisco offense in Week 15. The Falcons will likely spur mistakes from the 49ers’ offense, assuming San Francisco will be playing from behind.
3. Pittsburgh Steelers (42 percent owned)
Aside from a game against the Browns, the Bengals have struggled offensively since losing A.J. Green. The Steelers should be able to control this divisional matchup.
4. Chicago Bears (two percent owned)
The Chicago defense played at a high level against Detroit in Week 14. Look for the Bears to try to take advantage of the Packers’ one-dimensional offense.
5. Jacksonville Jaguars (two percent owned)
Brock Osweiler has been hard-pressed to produce offense all season long. Jalen Ramsey and the Jacksonville defense should be able to keep Houston in check.
