Fantasy Football Top 10 D/ST

#3 Philadelphia Eagles

The Super Bowl Champion Eagles should put out another quality product defensively this season. Not only is the defense impressive, their special teams are equally impressive. That unit blocked six kicks last season.

The defense ranked in the top five or top ten in almost every category last season, so this ranking isn’t because of any certain trophies they happen to possess.

2017 ranking: 3rd

The Eagles have made huge plays on the defensive side of the ball and are loaded with happy, talented players. It’s a safe and profitable pick to grab Philly quick. Add Michael Bennett and Haloti Ngata to an already impressive roster and Philly fans should be happy for a few more years. So should fantasy owners.
