Fantasy Football Defense (DST) Week 5 Rankings and Streamers

In Week 4 , we saw usually solid defenses who have been off to poor starts ( 49ers , Ravens , Browns ) rebound and have elite weeks .

We also saw defenses that had been great (Bills, Saints, Steelers ) fail to deliver for the first time.

The Vikings are the closest thing we have to a consistent, locked-in elite defense.

The Broncos ' offense may be gross, but their defense sure is good against the Raiders .

The Bears were my number-one defense this week and finished with eight points.

The Chiefs defense continues to be a solid unit, but the Chiefs offense is on life support without both Isiah Pacecho and Rashee Rice .

The Cowboys and the Steelers are the better defense right now, but Dallas has not been as good as expected.

The 49ers had been underperforming through three weeks , but they took advantage of a great matchup against the Patriots .

The Colts are fairly average across the board on defense, ranking 10th in turnover rate, 14th in tackles for a loss per game, 17th in pressure rate, and 18th in opponent's scoring rate.

The Jets have dealt with some injuries that have hurt their overall effectiveness as a fantasy unit.
