Welcome to Week 3 of the NFL season. Last week we saw three D/STs score a touchdown on defense or special teams. Those teams, the Ravens, Seahawks and Cardinals finished as 2nd, 3rd and 4th in D/ST scoring. The No. 1 team was the Atlanta Falcons, who only gave up six points, while recording six sacks, two interceptions and two fumbles. JJ McCarthy helped out, but the Falcons pressure numbers were their best in years. We’ll see if they can keep up the good work.

Streaming D/STs
Cincinnati Bengals vs. Vikings
The Bengals defense is not good, but Carson Wentz is also not good. Wentz is well known for turning the ball over, which is what we’re looking for in a quarterback we stream D/STs against.
Seattle Seahawks vs. Saints
Spencer Rattler has played well enough to not give opposing D/STs big numbers in the Saints two losses, but that could change this week. After two hot games to start the season, the Saints will travel to Seattle to take on an up and coming defense. They’ve allowed just 17 points in each game, while also picking off Brock Purdy and Aaron Rodgers twice each.
