Cincinnati Bengals D/ST

Yahoo Ownership Percentage: 23%

The Cincinnati D/ST is worth a look for those who stream defenses. They play at home against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8 and are widely available in Yahoo leagues.

The Bengals defense has posted some decent -- if uninspiring -- numbers this year, which includes -1 fantasy points against the Steelers in Week 7.

But the Colts are not the Steelers. The Colts have surrendered almost 30 sacks this season, the highest number in the NFL. If we combine that with the fact that the Bengals are producing sacks at the ninth-highest rate in the league, you have yourself a high-floor fantasy play for Week 8.

It doesn't hurt that the Colts are averaging just 17 points per game, either. Ignore the negative points the Bengals produced in Week 7 and fire them up with confidence.
