Baltimore Ravens (DEF, BAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

Owned in 26% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS: There isn't a much better steaming defense to be bullish on heading into Week 6 of fantasy football action. Ranked as the 8th overall scoring defense (in standard Yahoo formats), this undervalued unit is quietly drawing one of the best matchups as they travel to Tampa Bay to face the lowly Buccaneers offense.

As the third lowest yards per game average thus far in 2014 (295.4 YPG), the Bucs are also at the bottom of the league averaging an unimpressive 20.6 points per contest. Conversely the Ravens are putting in some seriously gritty work on defense, coming into Week 6 as the 9th ranked run defense allowing an anemic 89.4 yards per game. To make the case for their ownership even stronger, the Ravens have only given up a mere 80 total points thus far and are third in the NFL allowing just a 16 point per game average.

You may have to throw in a few FAAB dollars to land this saliva-inducing streamer, but it will be well worth it with the combination of a weak Buccaneers offensive unit and the Ravens near elite overall defense.

Just in case you didn't quite get all of that, we absolutely love Baltimore in this matchup as our #1 waiver wire defense pickup for Week 6.
