We are at Week 7, and the Buccaneers' defense is the talk of the town, especially after the Panthers traded Christian McCaffrey and Robbie Anderson. Even worse, Carolina will start P.J. Walker for the second-straight game, which should solidify the Bucs as a top D/ST option again this week. But how about the rest of the team defenses around the league? Let's take a look at our updated Week 7 fantasy football defense (D/ST) rankings, as of October 22nd. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key team defenses like the Patriots DST and Packers DST rank, among others.
