Welcome to Week 7! There are only two teams off this week, the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, leaving us without just two potential matchup-based fantasy defenses. There is also another international game, as the Los Angeles Rams face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London (9:30 a.m. ET).

This week’s risers on defense include the Chiefs, Patriots and Browns defenses, all of whom have very favorable matchups heading into the week. On the flip side, usually productive defenses like the Buccaneers, Chargers, and Texans face difficult opponents that will keep them from being started in many leagues.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football defense rankings for the seventh week of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
