Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Justin Boone's top defenses to stream for Week 8

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Justin Boone's top defenses to stream for Week 8

Yahoo Sports Fantasy Staff Mon, October 26, 2026 at 7:29 PM UTC · 1 min read About Our Ads Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement If you were smart enough to identify the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a top defense play in Week 7, congrats on the victory (we hope). The Bucs D/ST slaughtered the Panthers in a 43-13 victory, posting 25 fantasy points on five sacks, a touchdown, four turnovers and a blocked kick.

With the Niners, Texans, Giants and Saints on bye, you may need a streaming option at D/ST for Week 8. Here are some options for you via Justin Boone's waiver wire column .

Jaguars vs. Colts : Indy's offense is a train wreck this season and hasn't been much of a threat during a three-game losing streak. The Jags exit their bye at home coming off a tough loss to Houston. Expect Jacksonville to get after QB Daniel Jones plenty, plus this unit has a turnover in five of six games this season.

Bengals vs. Titans : Cincy's defense is improved this season and just held Baltimore to 13 points (albeit without Lamar Jackson). But in a great matchup at home against Tennessee, the Bengals have a very strong floor for fantasy. Cincinnati has at least nine fantasy points in four of six games this season.

Bears at Seahawks : Chicago has a decent pass rush, thanks in part to creative scheming, and Seattle has a combined 34 points over the past two games. The Seahawks are pretty one-dimensional on offense (throw to Jaxon Smith-Njigba) and are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to D/ST units this season.
