Sandman's Individual Cheat Sheets

Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends | Kickers | Team Defenses


 

Rank Player Name Comments
1 Chicago Bears

No.1 defense last year and they give you bonus point for special teams.

2 Carolina Panthers

Defense was solid last year and they added depth to the defensive line.

3 Pittsburgh Steelers

Death, Taxes and the Steelers defense in the top-five. These are the only guarantees in life.

4 Seattle Seahawks

Seahawks strategy of building the defense via free agency has worked.

5 Dallas Cowboys

Redskins defense is great but they don’t get enough turnovers or sacks.

6 Indianapolis Colts

Had three players go to the Pro Bowl and they resigned Cato June.

7 New York Giants

Best overall defense in the league last year.

8 Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Most physical defense in the league and they get to play the Titans and Texans twice.

9 Washington Redskins

Injuries hurt the defense last year but I expect to see the Dolphin defense of old.

10 Jacksonville Jaguars

Defense wasn't that bad last year and a better offense will give the defense time to rest.
