A lot of people got burned today by underperforming DSTs. 17 minutes before today's opening kickoffs, I pointed out an underrated DST that pretty much no one had on their radar: the Redskins.
I Tweeted that the Redskins were a great bet to be a top 10 DST against the Matt Flynn-led Raiders: https://twitter.com/bjrudell/status/384357786286432256
Owned in 1.3% of ESPN leagues--and started in only 0.5% of ESPN leagues--the Redskins were playing in their right conditions for the DST to kick ass.
So what happened? Not including tonight's game, the 'Skins tied for 3rd best DST for the week. That's how you turn a 5-point loss into an 8-point win.
