Week 11 was probably a good one if you rostered the Steelers D/ST. Despite only one sack against the Joe Flacco statue, they ended up returning an interception and fumble for touchdowns. The Jaguars completely swamped the Chargers, who are the weirdest team in the league. Justin Herbert and company need that bye this week.

D/ST streamer of the week
Cleveland Browns D/ST at Raiders
The Browns have a strong defense, but their offense often handcuffs them by turning the ball over and not sustaining long drives. This week though, they get to face Geno Smith, who leads the league in interceptions while taking the seventh-most sacks per game.
