Waiver Wire Pickups: Defenses to Stash Ahead of Week 7
Cincinnati Bengals – 33% Rostered
The Bengals’ defense is starting to find its footing and looks slightly more awake than the offense at this point, having allowed just four passing touchdowns in five games. The Bengals now start a string of games where their defense should be able to shine with games against Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariota, Jacoby Brissett, and then whichever quarterback Carolina can put out. Not exactly imposing.
Miami Dolphins – 18% Rostered
Sooner or later, the Dolphins will get Xavien Howard and Byron Jones back on defense, at which point they should be able to lock the passing game down a little better than they have been, and that will likely result in a few more turnovers. This Dolphins team is struggling in tricky circumstances, but it hasn’t the talent to turn it around.
