Week 4 Fantasy Football Rankings: New Orleans Saints and Top 3 Defenses

At least one of the following three teams is likely to be available in your fantasy league. Run out and sign them because there are no other defenses that will outscore them in Week 4.

New Orleans Saints

The Saints' defense is struggling. Last week they scored just three points, in a standard scoring league, as they were torched by the Texans. They are just the 22nd-ranked fantasy defense.

That is going to change this week. The Saints are taking on the Jacksonville Jaguars and rookie QB Blaine Gabbert.

The Jaguars are as one dimensional as a team can get right now. The Saints will be able to crowd the line in order to stop the run and wait for Gabbert to make mistakes in the passing game.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay's defense is turning in a solid fantasy season. They are coming off of a 15 point performance against the Atlanta Falcons, and they will be taking on the struggling Colts this week.

The Colts aren't doing anything good on offense. They are 21st in rushing yards and 27 in passing yards. Curtis Painter will be the Colts QB this week, but he isn't likely to turn around the Colts fortunes.

Green Bay Packers

In real football, the Packers have been downright awful. In fantasy football, they have been rock solid. In standard scoring leagues they are ranked sixth in scoring defense.

They will be facing the struggling Denver Broncos this week. The Broncos are 22nd in passing yards and 27th in rushing yards.

Their offensive line play has been weak. The Broncos have allowed eight sacks this season, and Green Bay is certain to add to that. Kyle Orton has also chucked three interceptions this week.
