NFL Playoff League Team Defense Rankings for Fantasy Football: 49ers DST, Ravens DST, Browns DST, Chiefs DST, Eagles DST, Lions DST

Ravens Defense - Fantasy Football DST Rankings, Draft Sleepers, IDP Targets

Hey, RotoBallers! The NFL playoffs kick off shortly, and the fantasy football season isn't over yet. It's an exciting time, as there are plenty of leagues and formats to choose from that are geared toward the playoffs. Some of these playoff formats even include team defenses. We are here to guide you on selecting the right defense for your playoff league rosters with our 2024 fantasy football playoff league team defense (D/ST) rankings. Below, you will see where defenses such as the 49ers, Ravens, Browns, Chiefs, Eagles, and Lions are located in our NFL playoff rankings.

Our fantasy football playoff rankings below are geared toward playoff league formats and take into account how far we think each team will get in the NFL playoffs. In most leagues, you can choose just one player from each NFL team for your roster. For example, if you decide to select the Cleveland Browns as one of your DSTs, you cannot use Joe Flacco, Jerome Ford, or Amari Cooper. The goal is to choose the best combination of players who will play the most games (i.e., who will make it to the Super Bowl) and score the most points.

In addition to our playoff league rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always key injury situations to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Join A Playoff League Contest

Playoff leagues are a fun way to kick off a fresh new fantasy football contest for the 2024 NFL postseason. For most of us, we've been left with a void and that weekly excitement with season-long fantasy football leagues all wrapped up. There will be DFS contests throughout the Super Bowl, but playoff league formats are fun and replicate that season-long feel.

Most of these contests will require you to choose only a single player from each NFL team and to fill out a certain amount of roster spots at each position. There are many different contests out there, but our friends at FFPC hold their awesome Playoff Challenge tournament with a $500K grand prize to the first-place winner.
