The 2026 NFL season's early weeks have produced a tightly bunched race for the team leading in combined defensive and special teams touchdowns, as these scores remain infrequent across the league after roughly five or six games. Denver Broncos defensive units have generated multiple takeaways and one defensive score while ranking among the top DST units in sacks and forced fumbles, supporting their position as the highest-priced named team in trader consensus. Several other clubs, including the Vikings with a special teams return touchdown and teams such as the Bengals, Steelers, 49ers, Patriots, and Giants with single defensive scores, sit clustered near the top of limited leaderboards. With most squads at zero or one such touchdown and no dominant outlier yet, the market reflects broad uncertainty over which unit will accumulate the most by season's end.
