I wanna start playing ranked now that zero chill is over and I think I have a good enough team to use. What are some of the best plays to run this year for defense and how do I stop my opponent from always finding wide-open passes 20 seconds after the play starts whenever I run zone?

There isn't necessarily a defensive play or plays that will guarantee success.
The best thing to do is find a blitz/pressure that you want to build around. You want to be able to get pressure on the QB. Some popular pressures are out of Dime 3-2, Dime 1-4, 33 Odd, etc. The most popular pressure scheme right now are loop blitzes out of these formations.
When it comes to coverage, that's really dependent on what you're trying to stop. I would say the most popular coverage shell is Cover 4, then utilizing the switch stick to help defend underneath routes.
Here is a video we did going over how to block the Dime 3-2 loop, but we also talk about the blitz itself at the beginning of the video:

We also talk about all of these pressures as part of our Meta Buster over at Huddlegg.
