Fantasy Football Week 8 Waiver Wire: Top D/ST Streaming Options

We’re diving into Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season, and with six teams on bye (Cardinals, Raiders, Seahawks, Rams, Jaguars, Lions), many fantasy football managers are scrambling to stream a defense this week. Fortunately, we’ve got some top D/ST options to consider based on Justin Boone’s latest fantasy football waiver wire column.

First up, the Colts have a favorable matchup against the struggling Titans, who boast the worst offense in the league. Rookie QB Cam Ward has been prone to turnovers and sacks, making Indy’s defense a solid streaming option.

Next, the Falcons are set to face the Dolphins, who are dealing with their own set of issues. Miami might be without TE Darren Waller, while Atlanta’s defense has shown a knack for forcing turnovers this season.

The Bills will go up against the Panthers, who could be starting Andy Dalton at QB due to Bryce Young’s ankle injury. Coming off a bye week, Buffalo’s defense should be well-rested and ready to capitalize on this matchup.

Meanwhile, the Bengals have a prime opportunity to shine against the struggling Jets. With uncertainties at QB and a shaky offense, Cincinnati’s defense could put up big numbers in Week 8.

Lastly, the Buccaneers will take on the Saints, who have struggled to put up points consistently this season. Tampa Bay’s strong pass rush could cause trouble for New Orleans, making them a solid streaming option.

So if you’re in need of a D/ST for Week 8, consider picking up one of these teams to give your fantasy team a competitive edge. Happy streaming!
