What is the story about?

The first week of fantasy football is in the books, and for those who stream defenses, it's time to play the matchup game to determine your next start. Identifying the NFL's worst offenses is pivotal to this process, and two teams have emerged as targets thanks to lackluster quarterback play.

Deshaun Watson has a case to be the NFL's worst starter. He threw a pick on the Cleveland Browns' opening possession against the Jacksonville Jaguars, setting the tone for another abysmal outing. Cleveland fans can't wait to move on at QB, with Week 3 a possible entry point for Shedeur Sanders. Until then, start every defense you can against Watson, including the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this week.

To revitalize their offense, the Tennessee Titans fired coach

Brian Callahan, brought in OC Brian Daboll, drafted Carnell Tate in the top five and spent a boatload of money on Wan'Dale Robinson. The result: a 23-10 season-opening loss to the New York Jets. Cam Ward has struggled mightily since being drafted first overall last year, and until we see signs of life from the Titans, offense, they're a juicy fantasy football matchup for defenses like the Philadelphia Eagles this week.

Here are the top 10 defenses for Week 2.
