Week 13 Rankings (2020): Top 15 Defenses

Which defenses do you want to trust this week? Which do you want to avoid? Let’s take a look:

1. Pittsburgh Steelers – vs. Washington
2. Miami Dolphins – vs. Cincinnati
3. Kansas City Chiefs – vs. Denver
4. Baltimore Ravens – vs. Dallas
5. Green Bay Packers – vs. Philadelphia
6. Las Vegas Raiders – at New York Jets
7. Minnesota Vikings – vs. Jacksonville
8. Indianapolis Colts – at Houston
9. Chicago Bears – vs. Detroit
10. Seattle Seahawks – vs. New York Giants
11. New Orleans Saints – at Atlanta
12. Buffalo Bills – at San Francisco
13. Los Angeles Chargers – vs. New England
14. Detroit Lions – at Chicago
15. Tennessee Titans – vs. Cleveland

Thoughts:

• The Pittsburgh Steelers have been the best fantasy defense this season, including a league high 41 sacks and 16 INT. Meanwhile Washington has allowed the third most sacks (35). Does anyone think this won’t get ugly?
• We all know the Cincinnati offense will likely continue to struggle, without both Joe Burrows and Joe Mixon. Miami has been among the better defenses in the league regardless, but in this matchup it’s an opportunity to exploit.
• Considering the state of Houston’s receiving corps, as well as their running backs, are you as scared about your defense facing them? You shouldn’t be, and while they aren’t necessarily an offense to focus on they also aren’t one to avoid.
