If you avoided drafting a defense early and instead, opted for the streaming route, I’d like to congratulate you… because that strategy appears to have won out in Week 1. Here’s a look at how the top-five defenses off the board (in order of ADP) this season finished in standard Yahoo scoring for opening week:

  • San Francisco: DEF12

  • Baltimore: DEF19

  • New York Jets: DEF27

  • Dallas: DEF7

  • Cleveland: DEF28
