Week 6 FFPC Defense Rankings

32 defenses ranked · FFPC scoring · Updated Sep 22, 2026, 6:01 AM EDT

Projected — Week 3 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 6 FFPC DST board — 32 defenses ranked on FFPC scoring, not a PPR board with a label swapped on it. 17 of 32 defenses sit at a different rank here than on the Week 6 PPR board. Kansas City Defense gains the most, moving from 13 in PPR to 9 under FFPC scoring. Carolina Defense leads the board at 10.4 projected FFPC points, 0.6 clear of Pittsburgh Defense.
