Week 11 Defense Rankings

32 defenses ranked · HALF scoring · Updated Oct 27, 2026, 6:17 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.

Denver Defense is the number one fantasy defense in Week 11 at home against LV, an offense implied for 22.9 points, projected for 6.5 points. 4 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 Chicago Defense at DST9 vs NO (20.5 implied) at 4.4 projected points — the matchup, not the unit, is doing the work.

Past weeks are scored against actual results.
