Week 10 Fantasy Team Defense Rankings

Week 10 ranks: QB | RB | WR | TE | K | Team D | Flex
It’s Week 10, fantasy fans! Time flies when you’re having fun (or not, like last week)! We have four teams on a bye, as the Bears, Buccaneers, Broncos and Eagles are off. That leaves managers without the services of those defensive units, with the Bears being the most valuable. The NFL will also have its final international matchup in Europe this week, as the New England Patriots and Detroit Lions will face off at FC Bayern Munich Arena in Munich, Germany.
This week’s rankings include some risers in Bills and Ravens, and there are a few good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A few team defenses have also seen their fantasy value decline, including the Patriots.
Here are my fantasy team defense rankings as we head into Week 10. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
