NFL
15 Fantasy Football Transactions for Week 1
The season starts in just two days, but before it does, make sure you're optimizing your fantasy lineup with the right players.

Add the Jets' Defense

In almost any league, there’s no reason to be playing the same defense week in and week out. Streaming the position – starting defenses off the waiver wire with favorable matchups – is the way to go.

In Week 1, the Jets have a fantastic matchup against a Raiders offense that will surely struggle throughout the season. The last time Oakland had a top-15 offense according to our metrics was when Rich Gannon was their starting quarterback, and we shouldn’t expect things to be different even with Derek Carr under center.

The Jets’ secondary is admittedly porous, but the questionable Oakland passing game makes them stream-worthy in Week 1.
