Raiders, Vikings, and Seahawks top fantasy defensive plays for Week 4

As Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season approaches, several defenses are emerging as strong fantasy plays. The Minnesota Vikings lead all teams in scoring defense with an average of 12 points allowed per game, while also ranking first in sacks with 14. The Las Vegas Raiders, bolstered by a strong start under new coaching, have the most fantasy points thus far and are preparing to face the high-scoring Kansas City Chiefs. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks are expected to bounce back against a struggling Los Angeles Chargers offense after a disappointing performance in Week 3. The matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns presents a clash of defenses, with both sides looking to capitalize on offensive inconsistencies. Thursday night's game will be a key test for both teams.
