New Orleans Saints

With Josh McCown out for the year with a broken hand, Bryce Petty will start for the New York Jets, and that makes the New Orleans Saints an attractive streamer in Week 15.

Petty's only action this season came in relief last week where he completed just 2 of 9 passes for 14 yards. Last season, Petty played in six games, starting four. Across his six games, Petty threw 7 interceptions to just 2 touchdowns, and he was sacked 13 times.

On the other side, the Saints are no longer the pushover defense that we became accustomed to in recent years. Per numberFire metrics, the Saints rank as the 12th best defense in the league and from a fantasy perspective, the Saints have been a top-10 defense in three of their past six games.

Vegas has the Saints listed as a 16-point favorite, which is -- by far -- the largest spread of the week. The Jets' implied team total is just 15.5, the second-lowest on the week. As a big home favorite and against a young quarterback starting his first game of the season, the Saints are this week's top streaming option.
