Week 10 D/ST Rankings

In a week with six teams on bye, there is really only one fantasy defense with a terrifying matchup, and that's the Raiders, which gets the Broncos this week. In my opinion, one can make a case for every other defense playing. Let's get to the picks.

Three Defenses to Play

Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

I don't know which of these angles is better: the Thursday night blowout earlier this year or Josh McCown. Either way, the mediocre-at-best Falcons defense gets a huge boost from the Bucs' decision to bench Mike Glennon.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. New York Jets

It gets repetitive when I just point out a team is playing Jacksonville, so I'm trying it out with a new team. Michael Vick does not scare me, and the Steelers should take control of this game easily and force a few turnovers.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills

With no CJ Spiller, Fred Jackson, or Sammy Watkins, the underrated Chiefs defense should be able to overwhelm Kyle Orton.

Three Defenses to Avoid

St. Louis Rams vs. Arizona Cardinals
San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints
New York Giants vs. Seattle Seahawks
