10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 15
Detroit Lions D/ST
Yahoo Ownership: 19%
As noted earlier, the Detroit D/ST aren't exactly known for offering much resistance to opposing offenses, but they still offer some streaming potential against Buffalo.
We're typically looking to play defenses against teams that are more likely to pass -- thereby leading to sacks and turnovers -- which doesn't fit Buffalo's mold. But for as good as Josh Allen has been as a runner recently, he's still an erratic passer with a 52.4% completion percentage, tossing just five passing touchdowns to nine interceptions over nine games. And considering the Bills could also be down to their third-string running back, there simply aren't that many weapons to fear on this offense. This game is already shaping up to be one of Week 15's lowest-scoring contests with just a 38.5-point total.
Detroit may not be an imposing overall defense, but they're still top 10 in sacks, which also helps their cause. This remains more of a floor play on paper, but it's worth noting the Lions' defense smothered the Cardinals on the road in Week 14, allowing just three points with three sacks, one interception and a defensive score.
