DAL D/ST outlook

Team defence · DAL · DEF26 in the rankings

Expected points per game, PPR: 5.1
Over replacement, 12 teams: −1.5
Sacks a game: 2.3
Takeaways a game: 1.2
Shutout odds: 0%

A team defence is projected from how much the offence it faces is expected to score, which drives sacks, takeaways and the points it gives up, nudged by its own season and blended with expert consensus. Sportsbooks price only the coming week or two, so every week after that takes its team's typical game and they all read alike until the lines are posted.

Kickers and team defences are close to unpredictable: over the 2024 and 2025 seasons, ordering two of them correctly for the next four games came out at 58% for kickers and 57% for defences, against 86% for the positions where usage can be measured. Treat these rankings as a tie-breaker, not a plan.
