2007 TEAM EFFICIENCY RATINGS, DEFENSE
Regular season totals, playoffs not included
Revised as of 12/31/2007
This page lists DVOA (Defense-adjusted Value Over Average) for total defense as well as rushing and passing defense separated.
The DVOA system is explained here. All numbers below are adjusted based
on strength of schedule. They are also adjusted to an average percentage of fumbles recovered by the defense. The exceptions are the final three
columns, which are unadjusted total, passing, and rushing defense. Rushing includes all rushing, not just running backs.
LAST YEAR represents 2006 rank. WEIGHTED DEFENSE is adjusted so that earlier games in the season become gradually
less important. It better reflects how the team was playing at the end of the season.
VARIANCE (VAR.) measures the statistical variance
of the team's weekly DVOA performance on defense. Teams are ranked from least consistent (#1, highest variance) to
most consistent (#32, smallest variance).
Remember, since positive numbers represent more scoring, defense is better when it is NEGATIVE.

2007 DEFENSE vs. TYPES OF RECEIVERS
Regular season totals, playoffs not included
Revised as of 12/31/2007
DVOA of defense against receivers does not
include sacks or passes with no
intended receiver listed. Note that our decision of which receiver is
"number one" and which receiver is "number two" is somewhat
subjective. Teams are ranked in order of general passing defense DVOA.
Please note that these ratings represent value from the point of view of the
defense, not fantasy football players, and include items that have no impact on
fantasy football (such as how many interceptions are caught on passes intended
to certain receivers).
