To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on Walt’s Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y. Below are my fantasy defense rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season. The rankings are based on a traditional scoring system. |

2019 Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings – PPR: RB | WR | TE | FLEX
Updated 10/24 – Follow @walterfootball for updates.
- Pittsburgh Steelers versus Dolphins
Ryan Fitzpatrick is always the quarterback to target for a D/ST’s highest upside. He can play well, but he will always be a threat for multiple turnovers. - New England Patriots versus Browns
The Patriots have played a gaggle of awful offenses, but I don’t think any other defense would have the turnovers and touchdowns they do with the same record. They will likely come back to earth at some point, but Baker Mayfield has been a turnover machine so far. - Minnesota Vikings versus Redskins
The Vikings should stonewall Adrian Peterson, and the only threat Washington has is Terry McLaurin, who will likely see bracketed coverage all game. - Los Angeles Rams versus Bengals
The Rams’ defensive line smothered the Falcons last week and will likely murder the Bengals “offensive line.” - San Francisco 49ers versus Panthers
If it weren’t for Christian McCaffrey, I’d have the 49ers as my No. 1 D/ST, but he is a magician. - Tennessee Titans versus Bucs
Maybe the bye week got Jameis Winston’s head screwed back on correctly, but he’ll have trouble with the Titans’ defense, and we know how bad he can be when he gets rolling. - New Orleans Saints versus Cardinals
The Saints have been playing stout defense, ranking ninth in adjusted sack rate and in the top 12 of run and pass defense DVOAs after a poor start to the season. The Cardinals’ offensive line is still a mess, and they’ll be without David Johnson. - Green Bay Packers at Chiefs
Matt Moore isn’t good, and the Packers are. - Chicago Bears versus Chargers
The Bears have hit the skids defensively, but the Chargers’ offensive line has been poor of late and the game is in Chicago. - Jacksonville Jaguars versus Jets
The Jaguars’ defense hasn’t been good, but Sam Darnold was shell-shocked last week, plus the Jets organization is a dumpster fire. - Buffalo Bills versus Eagles
- Detroit Lions versus Giants
- Los Angeles Chargers at Bears
- Indianapolis Colts versus Broncos
- Seattle Seahawks at Falcons
- Philadelphia Eagles at Bills
- Carolina Panthers at 49ers
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Titans
- New York Jets at Jaguars
- New York Giants at Lions
- Denver Broncos at Colts
- Arizona Cardinals at Saints
- Kansas City Chiefs versus Packers
- Washington Redskins at Vikings
- Oakland Raiders at Texans
- Cleveland Browns at Patriots
- Atlanta Falcons versus Seahawks
