​Sterling Moore, Cornerback

Divisional games are always fun, especially ones shaping up to be shootouts. We like to target these high-scoring pass-fests for streaming defensive backs because the greater volume of pass plays means more chances for our defensive backs to break up passes and tackle receivers. That’s why New Orleans Saints cornerback Sterling Moore makes for a fantastic IDP target in Week 16.

The Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ over/under for the week is 52.5 total points, the second-highest scoring game according to Vegas this week. Add in the fact that the Bucs rank 12th in raw passing plays called, and that quarterback Jameis Winston has the 6th-highest interception rate among Week 16 starters and you have a recipe for defensive back success.

Moore is available in 100.0% of ESPN IDP leagues, and we project him for 3.48 tackles, 0.10 interceptions, 0.80 passes defended, and a total score of 4.92 fantasy points in Week 16.
