Fantasy Football Top 10 D/ST

#9 Pittsburgh Steelers

The Steelers have had one of the more consistent fantasy defenses in the past decade. The loss of Ryan Shazier has many experts picking this defense to falter, but not so fast.

TJ Watt is quickly becoming a household name by his own rights. Cameron Heyward and Stephon Tuitt are still beasts among men upfront. The secondary holds their own and causes enough turnovers to make a difference.

2017 ranking: 8th

It’s really hard to believe that anyone would suggest these Steelers are to be a waiver wire selection. The same defense finished in the top 10 last season and didn’t fall off the map after Shazier went down.

Points will be found with Antonio Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster returning punts and kicks as well.
