If you’re in a league where you can drop bench players who have already played, then I would scoop up the Lions DST. My early defense rankings are loving their spot against J.J. McCarthy, and the Vikings next week.

If you want a sneaky stash before Thursday Night Football kicks off, add Malik Washington. He has looked dynamic with the ball in his hands, and if Miami falls to 0-3, you have to wonder how long until Tyreek is traded away
