DEF has no sportsbook fantasy-points line: books price individual defensive player props (sacks, interceptions), never a team DST total. This is a Matchup rank for Week 3, not a books-priced projection: each defense's Week 3 opponent implied team total (from the game's spread and total) combined with the defense's own fantasy points allowed per game (2026 season). Lower rank is a better spot.
This is not a projection we made. Every number is the fantasy points implied by the player props the sportsbooks have posted for Week 3: yards, catches and touchdowns, de-vigged and scored in Standard. Half PPR and standard are the same lines with the priced catches counted at that format's rate, and nothing else changes. A player with only a touchdown price, or no line at all, is listed below the ranked board without a number. The season boards sit on the fantasy rankings page; this one is the week.
