To give a precise recommendation for which defense to start this week, the context is important—whether this is for fantasy football, for a beginner sports defense strategy, or self-defense moves. Since there are results relevant to both fantasy football defenses for this week and beginner defensive techniques in sports or self-defense, clarification is needed. Assuming this is about fantasy football for the current week (Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season), the top defense starts recommended for Week 6 include:

  • Pittsburgh Steelers defense vs. Browns (strong match-up, coming off a bye week)
  • Green Bay Packers defense vs. Bengals
  • Denver Broncos defense vs. Jets (London game)
  • Philadelphia Eagles defense at Giants
  • Las Vegas Raiders defense vs. Titans
  • New England Patriots defense at Saints

Among these, the Steelers defense is widely regarded as a top choice for Week 6 due to their favorable matchup against a rookie QB and a weaker Browns offense.

If this question was about beginner defense skills to use in sports or self- defense, beginner tips are to focus on sticking close to the opponent without diving in, controlling space, and learning basic movements like elbows, knees, and controlled containment rather than aggressive ball-stealing.

Please confirm if the question is about fantasy football defense starts for this week or defense tips/strategies in sports or self-defense.
