Fantasy Football Week 15 Defense Rankings: Which DST Should You Start?

Week 15 fantasy defense/special teams rankings see all 32 units back in action. This means we'll have less incentive for streaming. That said, this deep into the season, some preseason "set-and-forget" defenses now look pretty ordinary, while a few emerging units are quietly sound fantasy plays.

As you scan the D/ST rankings, think about your matchup needs and surrounding build. If you just need to hold serve, a steady unit is fine, but if you’re chasing points, don't hesitate to gamble on the boom-or-bust flier route.
