Pros: Just two years ago, New York was one of the top defenses in sacks (44). Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora (hip), Mathias Kiwanuka and first-round draft pick Jason Pierre-Paul should form a solid defensive line. Perry Fewell is an upgrade over last year's defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan.

Cons: Umenyiora and Kiwanuka need to bounce back after disappointing seasons, and Pierre-Paul has yet to play a down in an NFL game. Only two other teams gave up more points per game than New York last year (26.7).

Fantasy tip: This defense might have potential, but they're going far too high to risk taking a chance on them. On average, they're being drafted at the beginning of the 14th round as the eighth DT off the board. Keep an eye on them, though, if they do go undrafted.
