BALLER MOVE: Stream in All Leagues (for Week 1)
14% owned in Fleaflicker leagues
ANALYSIS: My #1 streaming option for the first week of the season is the Detroit Lions against the questionable Giants offense. The Giants offense last year gave up the most points to D/ST due to Eli Manning’s poor play, constant interceptions and an unreliable running game. Their opponents averaged over 2.5 turnovers per game, 2.5 sacks per game and a 60%(!!!) chance of their scoring a TD.
Even though we cannot typically rely on prior year stats, it does not seem much has changed (yet) for the Giants offense even with a new OC. Eli and company have struggled during the pre-season and openly admitted learning the new system would be a work in progress during the early part of the season. The Lions' defense is not the best in the league, but they are great against the run and should be able to put some serious pressure on Eli leading to a few sacks and at least a couple of interceptions, adding them to the list of viable defense sleepers for Week 1 of fantasy football action.
