Fantasy Football Week 14 Rankings: D/ST

It's playoff time for some, while others are gearing up for the final week of regular season play in fantasy football leagues. It's crunch time, and any mistake can be a season-ender at this point.

A Detroit offense without Matthew Stafford will flounder even more then they usually would against Baltimore. And in the current state of the Atlanta offense -- three offensive lineman, Michael Turner and Matt Ryan are all ailing -- New Orleans won't have much trouble stopping the Falcons.

The top five is rounded out by Green Bay, New England and Tennessee. The Packers should thrive in a situation where Jay Cutler prefers opposing jerseys to his own. New England should be able to confuse the Matt Moore experiment enough to score some points for you on defense, and Tennessee -- well, they're facing the Rams.

Notes

• One of the reasons the Falcons ranking is so low is due to the fact that with all the injuries to their offensive players, I'm expecting their defense to be on the field a lot and overworked. If a few or all of the offensive stars in question can play, you should upgrade the Atlanta defense a bit. But remember, they're still playing the Saints, so don't go crazy.

• You don't normally see the Bills ranked this high. Their spot in the top ten has a lot to due with the fact they are playing the Chiefs, but they are also ranked second in the NFL in interceptions as a defensive unit. They are only owned in 22% of Fleaflicker leagues, so this could be a smart pickup for Week 14.

• Speaking of defensive units that are widely unowned in fantasy football leagues, look at the Tennessee Titans. In Fleaflicker leagues they are only 56% owned, and you should be able to expect some fantasy production on defense as they are playing a weak St. Louis offense that has been held under ten points five times this season.
