Week 1 had some interesting revelations in regards to defenses. The Baltimore Ravens defense completely embarrassed the Buffalo Bills, while the New Orleans Saints defense — oftentimes great in 2017 — got ripped to shreds by none other than Ryan Fitzpatrick.

That said, the majority of our experts agree that the top two spots belong to the two Los Angeles teams, the Rams and Chargers.

The Chargers got lit up for 38 points in Week 1 by Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill, but a matchup with the Bills might be just what the doctor ordered. They’re expected to be without Joey Bosa (foot) again, but fantasy owners of the Chargers defense have to be licking their lips.
