2011 fantasy football rankings: Kickers and defenses/special teams

If you are a fan of the quick slants we've done at the end of the first three sets of rankings this week, we've got bad news for you: The kickers, defenses and special teams don't get quick slants.

Jim Tressel isn't here anymore. We don't treat special teams as if it's the most important aspect of football.

If we've disappointed you, hopefully this will cheer you up: Links to the rankings for the quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers and tight ends.

Enjoy. And now the final two starting spots in your fantasy lineup you fill on draft day ...
