Week 7 Fantasy Football Rankings: 3 Defenses That Will Score You Points

Defense is the most underrated position in a standard fantasy football league.

This position could potentially score as much as a quarterback on a good week. It also is one of the best and easiest to play matchups with and score a solid starter on a weekly basis.

Let’s take a look at some defenses that should top the points list in fantasy this week, and help you get a solid win.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Despite the number of pundits that want to trash the Steelers' defense, they are giving up the fewest total yards per game this season.

They also only allow, on average, only 17 points per game, which is good for fourth in the league.

Pittsburgh plays the Arizona Cardinals this week, and they will feast upon the Cardinals' pathetic offense.

Kevin Kolb has not turned out the way the team expected in Arizona, and I can’t see them turning it around against the Steelers.

Baltimore Ravens

Another consistently great defense makes the top defenses list once again in Week 7.

They have an easy Monday night matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and they will punish the Jaguars.

Rookie Blaine Gabbert won’t be able to handle the Ravens' beastly secondary or ferocious pass rush, and he will make mistakes all day long.

Expect this to be a long day for the Jaguars—I can see a potential shutout looming.

Green Bay Packers

With all the talk about Aaron Rodgers and the high-powered Packers offense, their defense is largely underrated.

They are seventh in the NFL in scoring defense and are capable of overwhelming teams who are forced to throw on them to even hope to remain in the game.

Green Bay draws the Minnesota Vikings this week, who might be starting Donovan McNabb or Christian Ponder.

Neither is capable of a dominating aerial performance, and that means it will be an easy Packers victory as the Vikings will fail to do anything on offense.
