In week 15 we were reminded of a very important lesson; A fantasy defense doesn’t necessarily have to be an elite unit to make a significant difference to your fantasy football rosters. The Cincinnati Bengals were the perfect example of this this week, as they still scored 19 fantasy points against the Tennessee Titans – by far their most of the season.

The Bengals forced a total of six turnovers in the game, including three interceptions – a 39-yard pick-six – and a lost fumble by Will Levis, an INT by Mason Rudolph, who entered the game as a substitute, and a lost fumble by RB Tony Pollard. Yikes.

Levis’ brutal performance in Week 15 led them to decide to use Rudolph in Week 16, with the Indianapolis Colts next on the schedule. With Rudolph under center, will Tennessee still be a team worth streaming against? Find this week’s hot D/ST streamer in our team’s Week 16 defense rankings mix:
