Steelers D/ST @ Dolphins

For the second week in a row, the Steelers are my favorite streaming defense. If you still have them from last week when they took on the Jets, roll them out again this week. They have one of the best week 6 matchups as they visit Miami to take on the struggling Ryan Tannehill.

Tannehill and the Dolphins offense have turned the ball over multiple times in each of their last four games. The team gutted their offensive line this week after surrendering 11 sacks in Week 4 and week 5. The new-look front line will face a tough test on Sunday against the Steelers who have some strong playmakers on defense.

Last week, Pittsburgh didn’t force any turnovers even against the Jets but they did manage to get to the quarterback throughout the game. They ended up with four sacks led by Jason Worilds 1.5 sacks. Casey Heyward is another name to watch for on Sunday since he’ll cause plenty of mayhem if he gets into the backfield. The Dolphins overhauled their line, but they still present one of the best Week 6 matchups to attack if you’re looking for a team defense.
