Fins up?

Dolphins D a Week 4 streamer

It's been a good year so far for streaming defenses. The difference between a good week and a bad week has been in the matchups. And a great week, which comes from matching a defense up against the Titans.

Three weeks into the season, Will Levis and Tennessee have served up 2 more turnovers than every other team. They've served up 2 more sacks than all but one team. It's not one bad outing skewing the numbers, either. They've turned it over a minimum of two times in every game, and allowed a minimum of 3 sacks in every game. Three defensive touchdowns, too.

All this makes the Miami Dolphins, who host the Titans on Monday night football -- thank heaven we have two Monday night games, so everyone can watch the other one, Seahawks-Lions, instead -- the streamer defense of the week. Miami has major problems on offense and has struggled defensively in two games as well, but they look like a great start in the D/ST arena in Week 4.

Straight off the numbers, there's no better defense to start this week. They didn't grade out as the No. 1 defense -- since they've struggled against the run, the thinking is the Titans will be able to emphasize that some, reducing the opportunities for sacks and turnovers. But definitely a top-10 option.
