Pros: Under head coach Jeff Fisher, this defense has typically been stronger than their '09 showing. They ranked fifth with 44.0 sacks in '08 and have picked off 20 passes in each of the last two years. They added Derrick Morgan to their D-line with their first-round pick in the draft. He could help boost a pass rush that lagged last year.

Cons: Tennessee yielded the second most passing yards (258.7) and fifth most total yards (365.6) per game last year. The Titans managed only 32.0 sacks, tied for 18th, as they dealt with the loss of defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz. They lost one of the leader's of their defense, Kyle Vanden Bosch, this offseason.

Fantasy tip: The Titans are dropping to around the 18th round of most fantasy drafts. They are just a low-end No. 1, so don't feel too comfortable taking them, but you can always swap them out if they get off to a slow start. You won't have to invest much to secure them.
