Week 6 Rankings: Team Defenses


The Cowboys defense gets plenty of attention, but it’s the Eagles defense that faces a backup QB in Sunday night’s NFC East showdown.

Welcome to the Week 6 edition of my PPR fantasy football rankings. There's still only one undefeated team left, as the Philadelphia Eagles extended their winning streak to five games. The Texans squeaked out a win against the Jaguars in Week 5, so there are no more winless teams. An incredible 17 teams are under .500. That's got to be some kind of record after the first five weeks of action, right?

There are a few contests with high-scoring potential that I'm watching this week. Starting off with Week 6's highest over/under point total on SI Sportsbook, it's the hottest budding rivalry in the game between the Bills and Chiefs (O/U 53.5). The next two highest total games are the Cardinals and Seahawks (O/U 50.5), and there are two games at O/U 45.5: Vikings vs. Dolphins and Broncos vs. Chargers.

The three games with the lowest point totals on SI Sportsbook are Commanders vs. Bears (O/U 37.5), Panthers vs. Rams (O/U 41) and two games tied at O/U 41.5: Jaguars vs. Colts and Cowboys vs. Eagles. Don't expect a lot of fantasy production.
