All 26 defenses playing this weekend are ranked following the jump.
Defenses to start: Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys - These are strong defenses playing some very weak offenses. There will be a ton of sacks and turnovers to benefit from.
Defenses to avoid: Minnesota Vikings, Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts - I think these defenses will be on the field for much of their games. They have playmakers but the opposition's offenses will just dominate them.
