Last week, the Bills and Giants both paid off while the Saints disappointed. This week, options look as bleak as ever. Not only do bye weeks continue, but the lowest-rostered D/STs are mostly in terrible matchups. There is still some value left if you are stuck. Stream these D/STs in Week 10.

Week 10 D/ST Streamers
All D/STs are rostered in under 50% of Fantrax leagues
Buffalo Bills (at New York Jets)
Fantrax Rostership: 52% (Other Platforms: )
The Buffalo Bills are rostered in 52% of Fantrax leagues, which breaks my rule, but there are almost no other options this week. Buffalo ranks 18th in defensive DVOA, but they put up 38 fantasy points over their last two matchups. Granted, they faced Tyler Huntley, Joe Fagnano, Carson Wentz, and Max Brosmer. The Bills D/ST has mostly struggled in their other matchups, but there is reason for optimism. Buffalo heads to New York to face the Jets. While the Jets allow the 14th fewest fantasy points to D/STs, they have struggled against the better teams they play.
Josh Allen and the Bills should continue to shine on offense, forcing the Jets to throw much more. That’s great for the Bills D/ST. Geno Smith has been sacked 28 times this year, third-most in the league. The Bills only have 17 sacks on the season but they generate pressure at the sixth-highest rate. With Smith under pressure and forced to pass, there could be plenty of mistakes which turn into fantasy points. Smith has been doing well despite the sacks, though, so there is still risk in streaming the Bills. However, they look like the best of the low-rostered D/STs in Week 10.
Indianapolis Colts (vs. Miami Dolphins)
Fantrax Rostership: 21% (Other Platforms: )
Things are really bad this week. If you are truly in a pinch, the Colts D/ST may offer a decent floor. Indianapolis did well against the Commanders, Titans, and Vikings – their three best matchups this year – scoring at least seven points against all of them. This week, they host a Dolphins team allowing the fifth most fantasy points to D/STs this year. Malik Willis is on IR, so Kyle McCord will make his first NFL start this week. McCord was a sixth-round pick in the 2025 draft. While the uncertainty behind him could lead to some success, there is no reason to assume he can excel on a depleted offense. The Colts have 19 sacks on the season and rank 23rd in pass defense DVOA. While there is not a lot to love about them, there is a path to mild fantasy success this week. If you’re desperate, the Colts can be a decent D/ST streamer in Week 10.
Miami Dolphins (at Indianapolis Colts)
Fantrax Rostership: 5% (Other Platforms: )
Much like the Colts D/ST, the Dolphins D/ST is rarely going to be worth starting. The ceiling is low, the actual defense is bad, but the situation is good. The Colts allow the third most fantasy points to D/STs. Miami visits a Colts team that just traded away Keenan Allen and Josh Downs. Daniel Jones has already struggled and will now be without his top WRs. Jones has thrown just six TDs to 10 interceptions, has taken 24 sacks, and averages under 200 passing yards per game. The Colts offense is truly pitiful. This game has a point total of just 38. While the Dolphins D/ST is dead last this year, they did do well in their best matchup of the year, scoring nine fantasy points against the Vikings. In another high-end matchup, they could be the best of the bottom-of-the-barrel options in Week 10.
