It's wild to think we're into Week 13 and this is an important/hectic time in fantasy football. We're approaching the playoffs and need to make more early-week lineup decisions due to the three-game slate on Thanksgiving and the one Friday game between the Bears and Eagles. Below are some good defenses to consider streaming off the waiver wire via Justin Boone's weekly column.

Chargers vs. Raiders: Los Angeles is coming off its bye week and get one of the best matchups for fantasy defenses in Las Vegas. The Raiders just allowed the Browns to sack Geno Smith 10 times in Week 12. The Chargers D/ST has one of the best floors of Week 13 given how often the Raiders allow sacks.

Jaguars at Titans: This is another great matchup with Jacksonville going up against Tennessee. The Jags have a very safe floor this week vs. rookie QB Cam Ward and the team allowing the most fantasy points to opposing defenses.
Dolphins vs. Saints: We mentioned the Saints before and now NOLA could be down RB Alvin Kamara. If that's the case, there's not much that will scare Miami on offense. The Dolphins are also available in plenty of leagues and are coming off their bye week.
