Cincinnati Bengals D/ST @ Dallas Cowboys
This one is pretty straight forward. The Cowboys lost their starting quarterback, have only CeeDee Lamb at receiver, and have a patch-work offensive line. The Bengals could stomp this team after a suspect start for Joe Burrow and the rest of the Bengals.
They are the safer streaming option compared to the other D/STs listed in this article. Their defense has pick-six upside too.
Only 2-percent of teams have rostered Cincy’s D/ST on Sleeper.
Green Bay Packers D/ST vs. Chicago Bears
In the two meetings last season the Packers combined for six sacks, three interceptions and one fumble recovery. I like this to continue in 2022 as the Bears offense is still an issue, namely their offensive line. That doesn’t bode well with the Packers, who had the sixth-highest pressure rate in Week 1.
Green Bay is available in 66-percent of Sleeper leagues.
Arizona Cardinals D/ST @ Las Vegas Raiders
Carr tied for the second-most turnovers by a quarterback in 2021. Watching him against the Chargers in Week 1 was rough too. Carr looked indecisive with his progressions and turned the ball over three times.
I like the Cardinals rebounding here as a defense, but they will need sacks and turnovers to wow you. I like them more if Watt is active in Week 2.
On Sleeper, this defense is available in 63-percent of leagues.
