Team Defenses can make or break your week in some scoring systems so be sure your loaded up with a good one as you head into your all-important week 15 matchup. Don’t get bounced from the playoffs because your defense is lit-up. The best matchup play in my opinion is Lions who have a tasty matchup against the struggling (more like STRUGGLING) Arizona Cardinals offense. They’re available on many waiver wires and could be in for a big week.
Here’s the top 15 defenses for the coming week:

The two sets of rankings featured this week were done by Jeffrey Littrell (JL) and myself (ZT). NR stands for not rated and counts as 20 toward the composite average. Follow his ranking, follow my ranking, or follow the composite, but whatever you do–good luck to you as you look to win this weekend.
