The best thing you can say about the Indianapolis Colts defense is that Andrew Luck is their quarterback. Confused? Apparently, so was their defense last year. The only thing slowing down Luck’s meteoric rise last year was the horrific play of the Colts’ defense, and it may end up being the same this year. Ranked [...]

When your defense finishes 29th in points allowed, 30th in yards allowed, 28th in defense-adjusted value over average (DOVA) and didn’t score a single defensive touchdown, you have no place to go but up. And that’s what new Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley is tasked with fixing this year. It seems like a monumental task [...]

When you’re marking down ticks in the plus column for Fantasy points, one of the first things you look at for a defense is the strength of schedule. Fortunately for the San Diego Chargers, they have the second easiest schedule of the 2013 NFL season. And while an easier schedule generally makes for more Fantasy production, it doesn’t [...]

The best compliment I can give the New York Jets’ defensive side of the ball is that it has more talent than the offense. Unfortunately, that isn’t saying much. The 2012 Jets showed us they were eighth in the league in yards given up per game, and that they had an amazing pass defense that ranked [...]

Last year’s defense for the Miami Dolphins was an off-week Fantasy team at best. Though they held offenses to a respectably low 19.8 points-per-game, their turnover ratio was anemic. Sporting a patchwork secondary, most of which has been replaced, they collected a mere 10 interceptions, six forced fumbles and three defensive touchdowns (none of which was a [...]

David Wilson fumbled the second carry of his NFL career last year, and because the cameras caught a tear sliding down his face, it’s something that haunts him to this day. It’s a play that put the Tom Coughlin spotlight on him, and it hasn’t yet been removed. Limited to just 75 carries as a rookie [...]

Is a true starter someone who earned the position, or won it by the failure of another? That’s the case with Montee Ball, who has replaced Ronnie Hillman as the Denver Broncos‘ starter after Hillman’s third fumble in as many preseason games. That pretty much sums up Hillman’s short career thus far. Last year as a [...]

If your starting tight end only caught 20 passes for 226 yards (one touchdown), you probably wouldn’t say that he’s the second coming of New England Patriots pass-catching stud Rob Gronkowski, especially if we’re talking fantasy football. But what if it’s true and he’s right under your nose? Jordan Cameron, by all accounts, is pretty raw at the [...]

If you’re watching Hard Knocks like the rest of the football world, you’ll see that Giovani Bernard is a hot topic around the Cincinnati Bengals training camp. He’s fast, he’s elusive, and he’s down-to-earth — he’s driving around his girlfriend’s mother’s minivan — but he’s also a rookie. His effort to steal carries from BenJarvus Green-Ellis might be the only mean thing the [...]

The Buffalo Bills are a conundrum on defense. In 2012, they added Mario Williams and Mark Anderson through free agency in the hope that they could add a stout pass rush to an underachieving defense. That plan clearly didn’t work, as Anderson has since been released because Buffalo never got off the ground. Their run defense, which was supposed to be [...]
