Unless you’re locking down an elite group like the San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, or Buffalo Bills, the idea of streaming your defenses week-to-week through the season based on matchups can be the best way to go. With that in mind, here are three teams poised to deliver good early season value thanks to potentially advantageous schedules.
Before we get to our main three, here’s a bonus selection: the Cleveland Browns. That comes with an asterisk, however, as they open against the Cincinnati Bengals, which may not have quarterback Joe Burrow (calf) available. If he misses the game, that becomes a great matchup, and Cleveland then faces the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tennessee Titans, neither of whom are offensive powerhouses.
