Deep dives
Stashing vs. Streaming Defenses
Stashing defenses in fantasy football can be overanalyzed, as their performance is often unpredictable and highly influenced by matchups. With volatility inherent in defensive rankings, many owners overlook the value of running back handcuffs, especially in the lead-up to playoffs. In scenarios where a starting running back might get injured, having a reliable backup can provide more tangible benefits than keeping a defense on the roster. As the fantasy playoffs approach, it remains feasible to find viable streaming defenses off the waiver wire, making the opportunity cost of stashing defenses even less justifiable.
