The Houston Texans defense faces the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. / Thomas Shea-Imagn Images
Welcome to Week 11!
The NFL gives fantasy managers a break this week with just two teams on a bye, as the Colts and Saints are off. Obviously, neither of their defenses will be available. With the Saints, that doesn't make a difference in fantasy, even after their win last week.
This week also includes another game in the league’s international series, as the Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders will battle it out in Madrid, Spain. The game will start at 9:30 a.m. on the East Coast, so you’ll want to set your fantasy lineups in advance.
This week’s DST fantasy risers include the Texans, Ravens and Patriots, all of whom have great matchups next on the schedule. On the flip side, defenses like the Chiefs, Lions, and Seahawks could struggle versus tougher foes.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football defense rankings for Week 11 of the NFL season.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
