The NFL featured three games on Thanksgiving, which has historically been one of the most anticipated days of the year. Some potent defenses were in action. However, not many could have predicted the amount of offense each team would bring to the table. With those games in the books, let's take a look at our updated Week 12 fantasy football defense (D/ST) rankings, as of November 26th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key team defenses like the Broncos DST, Jets DST, Ravens DST, Commanders DST, and Eagles DST rank, among others.
Our defense (DST) fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
