Welcome to Week 9!

Most of us survived last week’s bye-mageddon, and the NFL goes back to the typical four-team bye this week with the Browns, Buccaneers, Eagles and Jets all off. As a result, we won’t have those four defenses at our disposal in fantasy lineups.

Once again, there is no international game on the NFL schedule this week.

This week’s risers include the Chargers, Lions, and Packers, all of whom have very favorable matchups on the schedule. On the flip side, defenses like the Bills, Chiefs and Steelers could struggle versus tougher opponents.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football defense rankings for Week 9 of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
