Week 11 Defense Rankings

32 defenses ranked · FFPC scoring · Updated Oct 27, 2026, 9:10 AM EDT

Projected — Week 8 is the current week

No betting lines yet. Sportsbooks have not posted totals for this week, so the scoring environment here is estimated from season scoring rates rather than taken from the market. Player roles and matchups are current; the point projections are less certain than a normal week's.

Pittsburgh Defense is the number one fantasy defense in Week 11 on the road against PHI, an offense implied for 15.5 points, projected for 7.8 points. 7 defenses project above six points this week, and everything below that line is a coin flip you should be streaming rather than rostering. The best streaming option outside the top eight is Jacksonville Defense at DST9 at NYG (17.5 implied) at 5.7 projected points — the matchup, not the unit, is doing the work.

Past weeks are scored against actual results.
