As we head into Week 11 of the NFL season, many fantasy managers are left searching for viable streaming options at the DST spot. The position is one of the trickier propositions in fantasy football, but can sometimes be the difference between wins and losses.
The New York Jets travel to Foxborough to take on the New England Patriots in Week 11. The Patriots' offense is currently averaging just 334.8 total yards per game, a mark that ranks the squad 27th in the NFL.
So, should we start the New York Jets DST this week against New England?

What Has The Jets DST Done in 2022?
Gang Green has been feisty in 2022 under second-year HC Robert Saleh and the Jets head into Week 11 with a surprising 6-3 record. New York ranks fourth in the NFL in pressure rate and eighth in turnover rate this season.
The Jets' progress on the defensive side of the ball has translated to success from a fantasy perspective. They currently stand tied for 5th in the NFL in average fantasy points per game at 8.2.
Should I Start The Jets DST In Week 11 Fantasy Football?
While a trip to New England has been a tough nut to crack in the past, the 2022 version of the Patriots' offense hasn't been a matchup to fear.
New England's second-year QB Mac Jones has struggled mightily this season. Jones has tossed seven INTs in his six games and the Pats' average of 334.8 yards per game ranks 27th in the NFL.
It is a new dawn in New York with Robert Saleh at the helm and this year's Jets defense is a big reason why. Gang Green registered six sacks against the Patriots in Week 8 and come into the rematch fresh off their bye. New York should be considered a top-10 DST unit this week and fantasy managers would be wise to fire them up in Week 11.
