The D/ST position in fantasy football is frequently overlooked. However, choosing the right defense can be the key factor that decides victory or defeat each week.
Never start a strong NFL defense in a poor matchup, as it may not always produce fantasy points for the D/ST position. The best approach is to focus entirely on matchups.
Here are our Week 11 D/ST fantasy rankings, best starts, sleepers, and some matchups to avoid.

Who are the best fantasy defenses in Week 11?
The Houston Texans are by far and away the best D/ST in Week 11. Not only are they outstanding, but the matchup is insanely favorable.
The Texans will face the Tennessee Titans, who are dead last in overall points per game at just 14.4. Houston should have no problem holding them to less than their average.
Who are the best fantasy D/ST sleepers in Week 11?
The Chiefs may be a sneaky great play in Week 11. Some people will see Denver and think they're not a bad offense. However, they struggled mightily on TNF in Week 10. The Broncos scored just 10 points against the Raiders; the Chiefs pose a greater defensive threat.
