Easily one of the most important parts of the team to choose is the defense, as they can really be the make-or-break factor during any head-to-head matchup.

For most casual players, it is the most boring part of the drafting process and one that they will not even think about until the final few rounds of the draft.

For others, they like to get their defense tied down nice and early for peace of mind. That has been shown by this year's ADP rankings so far, with the San Francisco 49ers coming in at No. 203 overall.

Why are the 49ers leading the top defenses for Fantasy Football in 2023?

There is one very obvious defense that players have been trying to draft this year, and that is the San Francisco 49ers.

There is elite talent at three different levels and they come into the season off the back of an 84.1 overall defensive grade.

They also did not finish below fifth in any team grading category, which makes sense when you consider that they have superstars such as Nick Bosa, Jimmie Ward and DeForest Buckner.

In the first week of the new season, the defense was awesome on the road as the team defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers 30-7.

What are the other top defenses for Fantasy Football in 2023?

The 49ers are closely followed in the rankings by the Buffalo Bills, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys.

Other defences that could be a smart move, but are a bit less popular than those mentioned above, are the Baltimore Ravens, the New York Jets and the Cleveland Browns.
