The Chicago Bears play DeShone Kizer and the Cleveland Browns in Week 16. Which other widely available defenses can you pick up and play this week?

Based on ownership, either the Bears or Redskins are probably available in your league, but if you're digging really deep, the Cardinals are worth a look at home against the New York Giants.

Although Eli Manning carved up a solid Philadelphia Eagles defense last week, he's been pretty good to fantasy defenses on the season. In 9 of 13 starts, Manning has either taken multiple sacks or committed multiple turnovers. Since the Giants' Week 8 bye, three of the six teams to face the G-Men in a game started by Manning have finished as a top-12 option.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals defense has been a top-10 defense in two out of their past four games -- both of which were home games. And while the Cardinals rank just 16th in the league in sacks (32), they do have the 7th-most quarterback pressures on the year (91), which means Manning may be in for yet another multi-sack game.

This game has a 39.5-point over/under, which is the second-lowest of the week (as of now). The Cardinals are a 4.0-point favorite and make for an enticing deep-league streaming option.
