Note: The DvP rankings listed above are on a per-48 minutes basis and are based on FanDuel’s scoring system. They are updated at night when the First Look is published and then again in the morning when the previous night’s game are accounted for in the rankings. The higher the number, the worse that team is at defending that position. For instance, the team that is ranked 30th against point guards has allowed the most fantasy points to that position.
