Week 5: Defense Rankings Fantasy Football 2008

Curious how your fantasy football defense ranks among all the defenses available for week 5? Well here is a ranking list for fantasy football defenses based on matchups and potential fantasy point outcomes for week 5. So check out how your defense stacks up against the rest of the fantasy football defenses for this week and make a change if needed.

DEFENSE RANKINGS

1. Chicago - @Detroit
Chicago should have a field day against Jon Kitna. Say 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 fumble...on the CONSERVATIVE end.

2. Dallas - Cincinnati
If Palmer is out again, Dallas is a close call for the #1 ranking.

3. San Diego - @Miami
Unless Ronnie Brown has mastered the Arkansas offense, Miami shouldn't score as many points as they did last time out. And even if he has, Pennington should still account for his share of sacks and possibly interceptions and fumbles.

4. New York Giants - Seattle
Could be a long day for Hasselbeck and the Seahawks non-existent passing game.

5. Tennessee - @Baltimore
Tennessee is good against the run, and that's all Baltimore has. Flacco should account for a couple of sacks and 1 or 2 interceptions.

6. Green Bay - Atlanta
If Rodgers is healthy enough to play GB deserves this ranking, but if Matt Flynn plays and the Packer offense is terrible, then the GB defense will be on the field all day...and that's not a good thing for GB fantasy owners.

7. Carolina - Kansas City
Carolina is a decent spot-starter option this week.

8. Pittsburgh - @Jacksonville

9. Philadelphia - Washington

10. Jacksonville - Pittsburgh

11. Washington - @Philadelphia

12. Baltimore - Tennessee

13. New England - @San Francisco

14. Buffalo - @Arizona
How in the world did the NY Jets defense post so many stats against Arizona's high powered offense?!?! Maybe the Bills can follow in the magic.

15. New Orleans - Minnesota

16. Atlanta - @Green Bay
If Rodgers is out...Atlanta is close to being a "great" free agent pickup and spot-starter for this week.

17. Indianapolis - @Houston

18. Minnesota - @New Orleans

19. Arizona - Buffalo

20. San Francisco - New England
