It’s playoff time! Several of the elite defenses in the league have great matchups at just the right time this week, but who has the best? Well, our staff was actually pretty divided on that. As a result, you’ll see that we have a first in our rankings. All season we have had ties, but we for the first time ever we have a four-way tie for the top spot. We’re all agreed on who the top teams are just not the order that they go in.
Here’s our top 15 team defenses for Week 14:

I'm an avid Boston sports fan and fantasy sports enthusiast. When I'm not blogging, I serve as Audio and Video producer as well as High School History teacher at Harvest Ministries on the island of Guam. The 14-hour time difference can make things challenging, but I'll play any fantasy sports just about anytime I can.
