The fantasy football playoffs are heating up with Week 15 arriving.

Unfortunately, some of the top fantasy football defenses through the first 13 weeks came up small in Week 14.

That included the Seattle Seahawks allowing 30 points to the enigmatic Jacksonville Jaguars offense, while the Los Angeles Rams allowed 42 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Then came the Baltimore Ravens allowing 39 points to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

This, after Baltimore, Los Angeles and Seattle all had top-five fantasy defenses entering the playoffs, but they let fantasy owners down in a big way.

Can you trust them in Week 15, or are there better matchups with other defenses? Let us help solve your questions with a fresh set of rankings for the top 25 defenses and special teams for Week 15.
