Week 9 Fantasy Football Rankings: Defense

The Vikings defense, which started the season so strong, has been humbled of late. After allowing 31 points to the Lions in Week 7, Minnesota then gave up 30 to the Rams. The Vikings' defense has been particularly vulnerable on the ground over the last two weeks, as all three – David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Kyren Williams – had great fantasy days.

You can imagine how this proud stopping unit must feel at the start of the 9th week.

The Colts represent a much easier matchup for the Vikings, but they subbed Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco and Jonathan Taylor is finally healthy. And as mentioned, the Vikings have slowed down on-site production in recent weeks.

Will they bounce back in a plus matchup against a supposedly weaker opponent?
