The Top DSTs To Start in Week 11
Detroit Lions (vs. CHI)
Analysis by Kyle Soppe | 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.
Miami Dolphins (vs. LV)
The Miami Dolphins have been a defense to target here so far this season from a fantasy standpoint, but coming off of the bye week and a great matchup in front of them makes them an intriguing start.
The Las Vegas Raiders’ offense is doing enough to be considered passable this year with the new coaching staff and Aidan O’Connell at QB. But the Dolphins should be able to put him under pressure all day long.
For a rookie QB, this equates to turnovers, which makes Miami an intriguing streaming option in Week 11.
