Week 4 Fantasy Football Defense Rankings: Buffalo At The Top Of The List

The defensive rankings are always fluid, as there are few elite units and more fantasy fans are playing the weekly matchups.
The Bills are atop this week’s list, and teams like the Packers (Micah Parsons revenge game), Broncos, Texans, and Lions (among others) have plus matchups and are very startable assets.
On the flip side, big-name defenses like the Ravens and Chiefs have tough matchups (facing each other), and the Rams will be tough to trust with a home road matchup against the Colts. With that said, here are my fantasy defense rankings for Week 4.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
