Stream Pies: Week 16

At “Stream Pies,” we are serving up gooey loads of knowledge. Here, we’ll provide invaluable streaming advice on kickers and DEFs who are owned in less than 30-percent of Yahoo! leagues. We list the options in order of best to “least-best” option (with the strongest recommendations starting at the top). We also include last week’s suggestions and full season results. Points are based on default Yahoo! settings. These recommendations also work for those of you who play in daily/weekly leagues on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings as they are cheap options that allow you to spend more money on the premium positions instead.

Team Defense (DEF) Recommendations
Week 16 Recommendations
1 – Oakland Raiders vs. SD
The Raiders have been on a surprisingly strong roll as a defensive fantasy unit, averaging over three sacks and two turnovers a game over their last four games. These performances haven’t come against soft opponents either (Kansas City, Green Bay, and Denver were among them). See them dice? Roll ’em.
