The Top DSTs To Start in Week 11
Miami Dolphins DST vs. Raiders
The Dolphins defense has scored at least 7.0 fantasy points in each of their past five games, and they get a green quarterback in Aidan O’Connell in a spot where he is likely to be forced into increased aggression.

O’Connell has been intercepted in three of his four games, and I expect him to put the ball in harm’s way more than a few times on Sunday against the third-best pressure defense in the league.
Detroit Lions DST vs. Bears
Justin Fields can be inconsistent as a passer when fully healthy, and with him presumably at less than full strength, I’m happy to step in front of him with my fantasy defense this week.
The Lions defense has cleared 10 fantasy points on three occasions this season, and with them ranking third in hurry rate, I love the potential of this underrated unit. Like the Dolphins, I expect the Lions to play with a lead for a significant portion of this game, and opponent aggression is a strong predictor of defensive fantasy upside.
