FanHouse positional rankings are compiled weekly by the staff in order to provide answers to possible lineup questions. These are assuming most leagues use Fleaflicker's standard scoring structure. If you need clarification, or have funky league rules, feel free to shoot us an email question. More Rankings: OVER/UNDER | Running Backs | Wide Recievers | Tight Ends | DSTs | Kickers
What do you get when Brodie Croyle and an atrocious offensive line visit the defending AFC Champs? Your number one fantasy defense for week one.
In many cases, fantasy defenses are variable and competely unpredictable -- seriously, you wanna predict what team will score a defensive TD this week? -- so these rankings are the least hard and fast of the bunch. Still, there's a method to the madness. Most likely to get takeaways, pressure the QB, and teams playing bad offenses get upgraded.
Best value: The Colts, Packers, and Eagles are all facing teams with patchwork offensive lines.
Worst value: Bears, as they get the pleasure of being the Colts opponent in the unveiling of brand new Lucas Oil Stadium.
