You’ve got your fantasy football lineup all but set for the week, with a few tweaks to be made here and there as Sunday’s slate of games is ready to kick off.
But you’re trying to optimize your lineup to make sure you get the most points. And that’s why you have to make sure your D/ST position has the best possible squad to win you the week.
That’s what these rankings will help with: A look at the elite, solid, and streamable options that could win you some virtual games in your league.
Let’s break down the Week 8 D/ST tiers:
1
Elite
1. Philadelphia Eagles (vs. Steelers)
2. Dallas Cowboys (vs. Bears)
3. New England Patriots (at Jets)
4. Buffalo Bills (vs. Packers)
5. Tennessee Titans (at Texans)
I love any of these picks!
2
Solid
6. San Francisco 49ers (at Rams)
7. Indianapolis Colts (vs. Commanders)
8. Denver Broncos (vs. Jaguars in London)
9. Washington Commanders (at Colts)
10. Jacksonville Jaguars (vs. Broncos in London)
You can see what I think about that London game. Yeesh.

Streaming options
11. Miami Dolphins (at Lions)
12. Los Angeles Rams (vs. 49ers)
13. New York Jets (vs. Patriots)
14. Atlanta Falcons (vs. Panthers)
15. New York Giants (at Seahawks)
The last two aren’t the best of options, but we’ve got bye weeks to contend with.
4
Throw a dart if you're desperate
New Orleans Saints (vs. Raiders)
Las Vegas Raiders (at Saints)
Maybe both teams struggle?
