Fantasy football team defense rankings

21 team defenses, ordered by where drafters are taking them in PPR scoring.

Updated Sep 18, 2026 at 7:36 AM ET

PPR DST: drafters are taking LA Rams Defense first on the board, ahead of the other 20 team defenses ranked here. No sportsbook has posted a player market for these team defenses yet, so the market column is empty on purpose.

This is the season board. The week is priced separately: Week 2 DST rankings from the books, or every position for Week 2 on one page.

Parlae start or sit calls this season: 83 right of 177 graded, 594 published. Misses stay up. See the record.

What changes in this view

A team defense scores for sacks, takeaways, return touchdowns and for holding the other side down, which makes it the least predictable slot on a fantasy roster. Almost every defense is drafted in the last two rounds, so the useful question is not which is best but which is still there.

This view keeps only team defenses and re-numbers them 1 upward in the order drafters are taking them. When the pool below is shallow, it is because the draft market has not published defenses yet, and we would rather show you that than rank sixteen names we invented.

What the market prices for these team defenses

No sportsbook has posted a season or game market for these team defenses yet, which is normal in draft season. We will not fill that gap with a projection: when the prices go up, the numbers appear here on their own.

Heads up: this view currently has only 21 players with real consensus draft data, well under the 50 we require before we treat a board as complete. Very few drafts in this format have happened yet upstream, and we will not pad the list with numbers borrowed from another format. The page is left open so you can see exactly what does exist, and it fills in as the drafts come in.
