Rest-of-season team defence rankings
Every team defence worth a roster spot, ranked by the points per game Waiver projects for weeks 2–18 in full PPR, with missed games counted as zero. To use your own scoring or league size, compare players in the tool.
Close to a coin flip Tested on the 2024 and 2025 seasons, putting two team defences in the right order for the next four games came out at 58% for kickers and 57% for defences, against 86% at the positions where usage can be measured. There is no usage to measure here: both are projected from what the betting market expects of the game, their own season, and expert consensus. Use this to break a tie, not to plan around.
