Note: The DvP rankings listed above are for the 2015-16 season and they are on a per-48 minutes basis. The higher the number, the worse that team is at defending that position. So the team that is ranked 30th against point guards has allowed the most fantasy points to that position. Keep in mind that the sample size for these rankings is still relatively small.
