Week 5 FFPC Defense Rankings
32 defenses ranked · FFPC scoring · Updated
Projected — Week 2 is the current week
FFPC scores a safety at 5 points and uses a different points-allowed curve, so defenses that generate turnovers and shut-out quarters move differently than they do in standard PPR leagues. This is the Week 5 FFPC DST board — 32 defenses ranked on FFPC scoring, not a PPR board with a label swapped on it. 21 of 32 defenses sit at a different rank here than on the Week 5 PPR board. Cleveland Defense gains the most, moving from 22 in PPR to 17 under FFPC scoring. Pittsburgh Defense leads the board at 14.3 projected FFPC points, 3.0 clear of Seattle Defense.
