For those of you who need to find a DST off waivers, or for those of you who wisely play waivers for a DST ever week and play the matchups…we have compiled every DST and have developed a “Rating” to help you pick the best one.
The Rating is pretty easy to understand. We determine the average weekly score based these year to date averages (see score legend below):
Yards Allowed
Points Allowed
Sacks
Interceptions
Fumbles Lost
Then we compare that to the similar year to date averages in the same category for the offense they face this week.
Basically, this tells us which is the best defense facing the worst offense each week and rank them. Pretty simple.
