As fantasy football managers get their lineups set for another crucial matchup, here are some prime D/ST streaming options heading into week 4 of fantasy football.
Fantasy Football D/ST Options
Los Angeles Chargers D/ST vs. NYG
With Giants rookie QB Jaxon Dart set to make his first career start, it presents a golden opportunity for this ferocious Chargers defense to capitalize on his inexperience.
Throughout the course of last season, defensive coordinator Jessie Minter averaged 8 points a game against rookie signal callers, boding well for this matchup.

The 44-point total for the contest indicates a low-scoring affair, which bodes well for a Chargers defense that ranks as the NFL’s 4th-ranked scoring defense across three weeks, holding opposing offenses to an average of 16.7 points a game.
This is a strong option not only for this week’s matchup, but for the rest of the season, as their opponents become easier.
Houston Texans D/ST vs. TEN
The Texans are still searching for their first win of the season, but the defense has been lights out tying as the 5th-ranked scoring defense (17 PPG).
The availability of star CB Derek Stingly Jr. will be worth monitoring, given his impact on this defense, but with how injured the Titans are on the offensive line, this is a strong fantasy football option to put into your lineups.
Detroit Lions D/ST vs CLE
Coming off a strong performance against a dangerous Ravens team, where they racked up 7 sacks and a turnover through a fumble recovery, the expectation is for them to build off it against a struggling Cleveland Browns offense.
With starting RT Jack Conklin limited with an elbow injury all week, and starting LT Dawand Jones on season-ending IR due to a knee injury, DEs Aidan Hutchinson and Al-Quadin Muhammad should continue to wreck shop.
