Welcome to Week 7, fantasy fans! It’s the second week of the season with four teams on a bye; this time it’s the Bills, Chargers, Commanders, and Jaguars. None of these units are must-start options, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find replacements on your league’s waiver wire.
This week’s rankings include some risers in the Jets and Browns, and there are a few good streaming options based on the matchups—check out Start ’Em, Sit ’Em for all the details! A number of team defenses have also seen their value decline due to a lack of production or bad matchups, including the Seattle Seahawks (not a misprint) and Baltimore Ravens.
Here are my fantasy team defense rankings as we head into Week 7. Check back on a regular basis for updates, especially after the final team injury reports come out late in the week!
