If you need a lot of points in a hurry for your fantasy football team in Week 8, get your hands on one of these fantasy defenses. These defense rankings show the top four defensive plays that are sure to be valuable.
1. San Diego Chargers
The Chargers are at home against the Raiders. What more do you want? The Raiders are horrible and the Chargers are hot. Expect greatness.

2. Chicago Bears
Although not the dominant defense we’ve gotten used to in the fantasy world, the Bears are still dangerous. They should have success in Week 8 against the Browns.
3. Indianapolis Colts
The Colts will be going up against Alex Smith and the 49ers this week. Smith may be good but there’s a good chance that he’ll make at least a few mistakes.
4. Arizona Cardinals
Last season, the Cardinals defense improved as the season went along. That appears like it’ll be true again this season. In Week 8, they are at home against the mistake-prone Panthers.
