Last week went great. My top pick in the Chiefs had a top-six performance with 12 points, my fade pick of the Seahawks got lit up by Andy Dalton to finish with just two points, and the super-deep Titans pick managed to squeeze out five points. Given the unpredictable nature of defensive scoring, I'll take that any week. Let's hope we can build on that performance in Week 4 with more solid defensive streaming picks.

There's nothing more fun in fantasy football than making trades. However, it can often be hard to know which players to target, and which of your own you can get good value for. That's where FantasySP's tools come in: We can use the FantasySP Fantasy Assistant to find players that have the most Expected Trade Interest (ETI), and then cross-reference them with the Trade Value Chart to see how much those players are worth. Let's take a look at three players with high ETIs that I think are either overvalued or undervalued by the current market.

After a great Week 1, our results were all over the place last week. Both the Giants and Broncos completely bombed, while the Buccaneers finished as the second-highest-scoring defense of the week. Hopefully this week we can maintain that ceiling while raising our floor ... but you never know with fantasy defenses. This week is tough, as most of the highest-projected defenses are likely already rostered in most leagues. But there are still some under-the-radar options to be had, so let's break them down.

We did pretty well with identifying streaming options last week, as three of my four recommended teams finished in the top six in traditional D/ST scoring ... and then there were the Seahawks, who finished 31st with -2.0 points. That just illustrates the nature of the defense position in fantasy football: Playing the matchups increases your odds of having a productive week, but nothing is ever guaranteed. With that said, let's get right into the best streaming options for Week 2.

The first week of the fantasy football season is over, and, as always, nearly everything we thought we knew was wrong. Already, you can look back at any given draft board and find players who, for one reason or another, would be taken somewhere entirely different today.

Welcome to the most important waiver wire article you'll read all year! I know that sounds dramatic, but it's true: Week 1 is by far the most impactful week of waivers, as the fantasy community collectively realizes all the many many things we were wrong about over the offseason.

If you're like me, you come into every fantasy league intending to stream defenses. You may have even not selected a defense at all during your draft — this is a strategy I highly recommend on platforms like Sleeper, which allow it. Holding a skill position player, especially a handcuff RB or one in a murky committee that may gain clarity as we approach Week 1, has infinitely more upside than simply rostering a defense for the sake of it (the same goes for kickers, by the way).
