As Week 10 of the fantasy football season approaches, Yahoo Sports analysts have released their defense/special teams (D/ST) rankings to assist fantasy managers. This week, four NFL teams—the Chiefs, Cowboys, Titans, and Bengals—are on bye, which impacts
the availability of top fantasy defenses. Yahoo analysts Justin Boone, Scott Pianowski, Joel Smyth, and Matt Harmon have compiled consensus rankings to help managers navigate these absences. The rankings are part of a broader suite of fantasy football advice offered by Yahoo, including player projections and trade value charts.

This guidance is crucial for fantasy managers aiming to optimize their lineups and maintain competitive standings in their leagues. The advice from Yahoo's analysts helps managers make informed decisions, potentially impacting the outcomes of fantasy matchups and league standings.
What's Next?
Fantasy managers will need to monitor player performances and injury reports closely as Week 10 progresses. Adjustments to lineups may be necessary based on the latest news and developments.
