Defense Streamer Board
Week 6 2026
Every defense playing this week, ranked by how soft the matchup is, not by how good the defense is. A bad defense against the worst offense in the league beats a good one against the best.

How to read this
- Score
- Matchup softness from 0 to 100, relative to this week's other matchups. 60% comes from the DST fantasy points the opponent's offense has given up per game (season to date, blended half-and-half with its last three games once there are three weeks). 40% comes from the opponent's Vegas implied point total, lower being better, when a line is posted. Green is 70 or more, red 30 or less.
- Opp Implied Pts
- How many points Vegas expects the opponent to score, derived from the spread and the total. The single best forward-looking number for a defense.
- DST Pts Allowed/G
- Standard-scoring fantasy points that opposing defenses have scored against this offense, per game: sacks, turnovers, defensive touchdowns and points-allowed tiers combined. L3 is the same over the offense's last three games.
- Sacks Allowed/G, TO/G
- What the opponent's offense gives up: sacks taken and turnovers (interceptions plus lost fumbles) per game.
- Pts Scored/G
- The opponent's own scoring per game. Low is what a streamer wants.
- Own DST Pts/G
- The defense's own fantasy production per game, for context. The board deliberately does not rank on it.
- Opp QB
- Opposing quarterbacks listed Out or Doubtful on ESPN's injury report at the time of this run. Not part of the score; a backup quarterback is often the whole reason to stream.
