Welcome to the 2022 Fantasy Football Week 10 Defense Stream-O-Matic!
According to Yahoo Fantasy Football transaction trends, the New York Football Giants, Tennessee Titans, Las Vegas Raiders and New Orleans Saints were the most added defenses after waivers cleared.
The Minnesota Vikings were the most dropped defense this week.
New York host a struggling Houston Texans offense that has only scored more than 20 points in a game once this season. Davis Mills has been sacked three times in each of his last two starts with three interceptions. Dexter Lawrence leads the Giants defense with four sacks. As a team, the Giants have just one interception and are playing without Xavier McKinney for a few weeks after he broke his hand during the bye week.
Tennessee's defense is stingy, allowing more than 22 points in a game just once this season to the Buffalo Bills in Week 2. Denver has scored 20+ points just two times this year while scoring less than 10 points three times! The Titans have forced at least one interception in every game except against Josh Allen, while recording at least three sacks in five straight games. Denico Autry leads the defensive unit with seven sacks while Jeffery Simmons has recorded 5.5 sacks and Rashad Weaver has four sacks on the year.
Adding the Raiders is purely a matchup-based decision against the Indianapolis Colts who just fired their head coach and replaced him with Jeff Saturday. Indy has allowed the second most Fantasy points to opposing defenses with four games of 5+ sacks allowed. Maxx Crosby has six sacks on the year. Las Vegas' defense ranks last in defensive DVOA and just released Jonathan Abrams.
New Orleans travels to Pittsburgh on a short week after getting run over by Lamar Jackson and Kenyan Drake on Monday Night Football last week. The Steelers offense is terrible. Kenny Pickett is struggling in his rookie season behind a bad offensive line (as is Najee Harris). Demario Davis (6) and Cameron Jordan (5) lead the Saints defense in sacks.
Stream-O-Matic Week 9 Results
On the year, the Stream-O-Matic ranks 21st overall, according to FantasyPros Accuracy Rankings.
I hope this experiment can be helpful when deciding between tough options. Good luck!

Scoring
I use a traditional rotisserie scoring style commonly used in fantasy baseball season-long leagues to give point totals to each team.
Categories
The categories for the chart are listed below along with links to websites that I use to find this data.
- Rost%/Start%: Roster percentages based on Yahoo Fantasy Football leagues. This gives us an idea of who is available. This doesn’t factor into the standings.
- Location (Home): Generally speaking, defenses play better at home than on the road. A five-point bonus is given to all home teams.
- Vegas (Opp Implied): UsingVegas odds, the spread and over/under generate an implied points total for each team. This game score portrays what the game flow could look like and, therefore, which Fantasy Football defenses are in a good position to succeed.
- Pressure (Opp Prs%):Thanks toPro Football Reference, we have access to advanced passing statistics. I focused on pressure percentages allowed here which includes QB hurries, hits and sacks.
- DVOA: Probably the most popular tool for evaluating defenses, the DVOA efficiency ratings are utilized to give a strong baseline to the rankings. We are now using Weighted DVOA!
- Proj: I used Yahoo Week 10 projections for this column. It is added as a bonus and not scored like roto for all the other columns.
