DEF has no market-based fantasy-points projection: the markets cover individual defensive player stats (sacks, interceptions), never a team DST total. This is a Matchup rank for Week 5, not a market-based projection: each defense's Week 5 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 markets posted for Week 5: yards, catches and touchdowns, with the margin removed and scored in PPR. 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.
