Defense Rankings

San Francisco Defense is our top ranked fantasy football defense

Team Defense (DEF, D/ST) is a fickle position. There is little correlation year-to-year between fantasy defense performances. Your best bet is to stream DEF and find a defense that is playing against a turnover-prone quarterback.

Dynasty Rankings

If you're in a dynasty league, you know that you need dynasty-specific rankings to determine true player value. Younger players hold much more value than their equivalent older players.

Here are our dynasty and dynasty rookie rankings:

Daily Fantasy (DFS) Rankings

Daily fantasy sports (DFS) on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel add a salary to every player, and it's important to take that into consideration when building DFS lineups.

We have two sets of rankings for DFS. One for projected draft (ownership) % for general contests on DraftKings and FanDuel. We then project out each player in the scoring format of DK or FD and then divide the projected points by their salary to determine their "value" on that DFS slate.
