The fantasy championships are here and you need a defense and special teams to help you take the top prize. Below we have your Week 16 D/ST rankings to help you set those championship lineups. Good luck!
D/ST Ranking Tiers
Tier 1
The Steelers are still firmly in the playoff hunt and they’ve gotten there with their defense. The Jets weak offensive line will have trouble against T.J. Watt and company.
The Ravens lost at home to the Browns big early in the season and will want to repay the favor as they need a win to secure the No. 1 seed.
Tier 2
The Broncos defense should be able to hold down rookie David Blough, who has been awful since his good first half on Thanksgiving.
The 49ers destroyed the Rams in L.A. earlier in the year, keeping Jared Goff from hitting 100 yards passing as they harassed him into the fetal position. Things might not be that bad this week but the 49ers are coming off a letdown game and need to win out to get the No. 1 seed.
D/ST Streamers
The Giants defense isn’t horrible and they take on a weak offense in Washington. And the same can be said for Washington, as they take on the ghost of Eli Manning.
