Week 7 fantasy defense rankings: Best D/ST streamers

By Steve Gardner, USA TODAY,

Week 6 was not a great one for fantasy defenses and special teams.

Only one NFL team scored a defensive touchdown: The Tampa Bay Buccaneers , on a 58-yard fumble return by Antoine Winfield Jr . That game also featured the only kick return touchdown: A 54-yard jaunt by the New Orleans Saints ' Rashid Shaheed off a Bucs punt.

The most exciting play, though, was the Cleveland Browns ' 50-yard TD off a blocked Jake Elliott field goal attempt against the Philadelphia Eagles . Let's hope for more action in Week 7.

ON BYE: Chicago, Dallas

Fantasy football rankings are based on six points awarded for defensive and kick return touchdowns, two points awarded for safeties and one half point awarded for sacks.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com .
