Rankings have been updated to take players out from the three games played on Thanksgiving.

We've split up our fantasy football rankings by traditional IDP (individual defensive players) positions: defensive line, linebacker and defensive back. Because scoring systems can vary greatly in IDP formats, these rankings will be based on the following scoring criteria:

Solo tackle: 1.5 points
Assisted tackle: 0.75 points
Tackle for loss: 2 points
Sack: 4 points
Interception: 5 points
Forced fumble: 4 points
Fumble recovery: 4 points
Defensive TD: 6 points
Safety: 2 points
Pass defensed: 1.5 points

In the headers of the rankings below, our three analysts will be abbreviated: Mike Clay (MC), Jim McCormick (JM) and Tristan H. Cockcroft (TC)
