Pros: Carolina doesn't give up that much yardage with just 315.8 total yards surrendered per game last year - good for eighth fewest in the league. Their 19.2 points allowed per game last year was tied for eighth fewest, and they ranked in the top 10 in interceptions.

Cons: Last year's defense managed only 31 sacks, and they lost top defensive end Julius Peppers to free agency this year. They don't have an immediate replacement of Peppers' caliber ready. Linebacker Thomas Davis (knee) may be out for the season. 

Fantasy tip: This D has been left for the waiver in most drafts, and you shouldn't draft them, either.
