Fantasy Football: Week 17 defense rankings

In fantasy football championship week, managers need to find any little edge possible to get the advantage in their lineups. One of the best (and most underrated) spots to look for that edge is at defense — and the Miami Dolphins could just be a potential league winner thanks to a cushy matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

The Browns trotted out Dorian Thompson-Robinson in Week 16, but the results weren’t much better than what they saw from Jameis Winston behind center, held to six total points against an abysmal Cincinnati Bengals defense. DTR threw for just 157, 0 TD and 2 INT, taking five sacks with a QBR of 18.4. The Browns have announced their intention to start Thompson-Robinson again in Week 17, up against a Dolphins’ defense that still has something to play for (and a few stars to do it, like rookie LB Chop Robinson who notched his sixth sack this season against Brock Purdy in Week 16).
