Week 11 Fantasy Defense Picks: Who to Trust?
Top Tier
The Houston Texans are the team to beat this week, especially with their upcoming matchup against the Titans. They've been on fire lately, leading the league in fantasy points per game and ranking high in key defensive stats.
The Patriots, Bears, and Ravens are also looking strong, but there are some tough calls to make this week.
- Patriots vs. Jets (Thursday night)
- Bears vs. J. J. McCarthy (young QB with a history of turnovers)
- Ravens vs. Browns (generous offense)
Mid Tier
The Packers, Falcons, and Chargers are facing some unpredictable offenses.
- Packers vs. Giants (tough to figure out)
- Falcons (wildcard)
- Chargers (safe but not exciting)
The Dolphins are a risky play but could surprise some people.
Next Tier
The Rams, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Bucs are all in play, but there are some concerns.
- Rams vs. Seahawks (solid lately)
- Chiefs vs. Broncos (strong defenses facing each other)
- Cowboys vs. Raiders (generous offense, but Cowboys' defense has been hit or miss)
- Bucs vs. Bills (struggling lately, but still a tough matchup)
Lower Tier
The Eagles, Browns, and Vikings are facing tough offenses.
- Eagles vs. Lions (one of the best offenses in the league)
- Browns vs. Ravens (solid lately)
- Vikings vs. Bears (turning the ball over a lot, but Vikings' defense has been struggling)
Last Tier
The Raiders, Steelers, Commanders, Panthers, Jets, Giants, Bengals, Colts, Saints, and Cardinals are all in the last tier. These are the defenses you want to avoid unless you're in a really deep league.
