Defenses to Target

A defense is a weekly decision, not a draft pick. The keeper tier is worth rostering all season; everyone else streams the matchup. Rankings move week to week with results — a defense's own recent form, and how generous the opposing offense has been to defenses.

How the score works. 40% that week's projection, 30% the defense's own fantasy scoring over its last four games, 30% how many defense fantasy points the opposing offense has conceded over its last four (sacks, turnovers, short fields). "Opp. generosity" reads 1–32 where 1st is the offense defenses feast on. The keeper tier is season-long: 35% season projection, 35% the market consensus, 15% last season's form and 15% the average weekly score — shifting toward current-season results once games are played. The top-3 streamers deliberately exclude it — a defense that's rostered in every league isn't a streamer.
