These 2010 Fantasy Football Defense Rankings will be updated often throughout the summer, so make sure you check back from time to time. Also, be sure to check out the other 2010 Fantasy Football articles, which will include sleepers, busts, tons of 2010 Fantasy Football mock drafts and other material.
Updated 7/29
- New York Jets. Bye: 7.
The Jets defense has the talent and attitude to beat up the NFL.
What to Like: As if Darrelle Revis, Bart Scott, and company weren’t tough enough, the Jets added Jason Taylor and Antonio Cromartie. Simply put, the Jets defense should be great.
Concern: I respect Jerricho Cotchery as a receptions-magnet, but he doesn’t provide the pop you want as a punt return man.
X-Factor: Kyle Wilson will need to have immediate impact in nickel coverage. The first-round pick from Boise State is no longer playing against WAC competition, and is now an integral factor on fantasy football’s best defense.
Revis wants to retire as a Jet, so don’t let his training camp uncertainty scare you. The Jets defense is the best.
- Minnesota Vikings. Bye: 4.
Minnesota’s defense has steadily increased in sacks, but decreased in interceptions, since 2006. Overall, the new Purple People Eaters are an overpowering unit.
What to Like: Jared Allen has the most explosive motor in the league, and the Williams Wall can’t be moved. It all starts up front, and the Vikings defensive line is the best in the league.
Concern: Strong safety Tyrell Johnson is the weak link on the Vikings defense.
X-Factor: Percy Harvin made last year’s Pro Bowl as a kickoff return man. He’s young, fresh and fast.
The Vikings defense has only had three touchdowns the last two seasons, but had eight in 2007. The number should even out; expect a touchdown spike this year.
- Philadelphia Eagles. Bye: 8.
The Eagles defense maintained Jim Johnson’s spirit last season, blitzing and attacking for 44 sacks (tied for third most in the NFL).
What to Like: Defensive coordinator Sean McDermott isn’t messing with a good thing. The Eagles defense will continue to pressure the quarterback.
Concern: Philadelphia linebackers have a lot to prove.
X-Factor: DeSean Jackson will score a few punt return touchdowns, and rack up a ton of yards in the process. Jeremy Maclin is a great backup as a return man.
Trent Cole and company will continue to terrorize quarterbacks.
- Pittsburgh Steelers. Bye: 5.
On Aug. 7 Dick Lebeau officially becomes a Hall-of-Famer. It’s long overdue. With Jim Johnson no longer with us, and Monte Kiffin aiding and abetting his son, Lebeau is the current undisputed godfather of defense in the NFL.
What to Like: Bryant McFadden returning is a huge deal. I always felt he was the most underrated player on the Steelers 2005 Super Bowl team. Cornerback was the Steelers Achilles’ heel last season, and McFadden should help.
Concern: Troy Polamalu plays the game so hard that he hurts himself. Polamalu’s only effective if he plays recklessly, and that leads to injuries. Polamalu’s the best player on the Steelers defense, and the success of the Black and Gold depends completely on his health.
X-Factor: LaMarr Woodley is entering a contract year and he’s feeling unloved. The Steelers aren’t negotiating a new deal with him, and Woodley’s publicly sounding off about it. The guy with 24 sacks over the last two seasons needs to be happy when September rolls around. Or maybe he doesn’t.
Underrated Aaron Smith also returns from injury, and that should help. Either way, it all revolves around Polamalu. If he’s healthy, the Steel Curtain lives.
- Baltimore Ravens. Bye: 8.
It doesn’t matter whether the defensive coordinator is Marvin Lewis, Mike Nolan, Rex Ryan or Greg Mattison. Ray Lewis and the Ravens continue to hit hard.
What to Like: Lewis gets all the hype, but 27-year-old, 260-pound, pass-rushing specialist Terrell Suggs has 57.5 career sacks and is actually in shape this year.
Concern: Ed Reed is likely heading to the PUP list. That’s really, really bad news for Baltimore. Reed is one of the most dynamic ball-hawkers in the history of the game.
X-Factor: Second-round draft pick Terrence Cody adds depth to an already-strong interior defense of Kelly Gregg and Haloti Ngata.
The Ravens are always tough, but monitor Reed’s status closely.
- San Francisco 49ers. Bye: 9.
Mike Singletary preaches an old-school, down-in-the-trenches style that breeds defensive success.
What to Like: Patrick Willis has led the NFL in tackles in 2007 and 2009, and finished second in 2008. The best linebacker in the NFL will keep offenses from scoring.
Concern: Nate Clements is 30, and his speed is in question.
X-Factor: Ted Ginn had two kickoff return touchdowns for the Dolphins last season. His hands aren’t first-rate, but his speed is.
The 49ers’ increased interception, sack, fumble recovery, and defensive touchdown totals in Singletary’s first full season as coach. The 49ers defense is on the rise.
- Dallas Cowboys. Bye: 4.
Wade Phillips is too laid back as a head coach, but he’s been making NFL defenses better since 1976.
What to Like: DeMarcus Ware had an eye-popping 20 sacks in 2008, and 64.5 for his career. The 27-year-old is guaranteed contribution.
Concern: The Cowboys only have 19 interceptions over the last two seasons. Terence Newman, Mike Jenkins and company will need to do more ball-hawking in 2010.
X-Factor: If Felix Jones gets another crack at returning kicks, he won’t disappoint. He’s an explosive runner who’s dangerous with the football.
The Cowboys aggressive defense should produce sacks.
- Green Bay Packers. Bye: 10.
The Packers worked out the kinks in Dom Capers’ 3-4 defense last season. They will be more well-rounded in 2010.
What to Like: The Pack Attack led the league with 30 picks in 2009. Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Charles Woodson and company should rack up the interceptions.
Concern: Jordy Nelson wasn’t able to bust any punts or kickoffs for touchdowns last year. Why should 2010 be any different?
X-Factor: Nick Barnett, A.J. Hawk, and Clay Matthews comprise a smart, intense and impressive crew of linebackers.
The Pack will give up a lot of points because of the nature of their offense, but the defense will make up for it with interceptions and touchdowns.
- New Orleans Saints. Bye: 10.
Gregg Williams deserves his share of the credit for the football culture change in New Orleans. Williams taught Saints defenders how to play with an edge.
What to Like: Jonathan Vilma is a 28-year-old tackling machine. He enables sacks, interceptions, and touchdowns for other Saints defenders.
Concern: Because Brees leads such an explosive offense, the Saints often find themselves in shootouts.
X-Factor: Will Smith rebounded from a three-sack 2008 with 13 sacks last year. The Saints need the 29-year-old, 282-pound, elite pass rusher to stay hungry.
The Saints’ opportunistic defense preys on struggling offenses who are trying to keep up with Brees. The Saints’ defense had eight touchdowns last season.
- New England Patriots. Bye: 5.
The Patriots defense has really worsened the last two seasons. Maybe Bill Belichick should start sneaking video cameras into stadiums again.
What to Like: A sprained MCL limited Jerod Mayo’s effectiveness in 2009, but the talented 24-year-old is healthy this season.
Concern: The days of Rodney Harrison, Richard Seymour and Teddy Bruschi are over. Harrison and Seymour would hit you under the pile after the whistle, and Bruschi would yell and laugh in your face. This current group of Patriots lacks punch.
X-Factor: Whoever starts opposite Leigh Bodden (between Darius Butler and Devin McCourty) will likely be the targeted corner in the Pats defensive backfield.
The dominance of 2007 seems like decades ago, but the defense needs to be respected as long as Belichick is wearing Patriots hoodies.
- Chicago Bears. Bye: 8.
Rod Marinelli is the new defensive coordinator, and he’s familiar with Lovie Smith’s Cover 2 scheme from their days coaching together in Tampa.
What to Like: The Bears gave Julius Peppers $42 million guaranteed to get to the quarterback. Peppers plays a little too relaxed for my taste, but his 81 career sacks are impossible to ignore.
Concern: Brian Urlacher missed 15 games last year with a wrist injury. His last sack occurred on Dec. 17, 2007. The Bears’ backbone is 32, and appears to be on the decline.
X-Factor: If Devin Hester sees more action on special teams, it’s a big deal. Hester has 11 career return touchdowns.
Everything about the Bears screams upside.
- San Diego Chargers. Bye: 10.
Anybody see Shawne Merriman’s cameo on Entourage? He was laughing it up with Ari Gold in the conference room.
What to Like: The Chargers have scored at least three defensive touchdowns in each of the past four seasons.
Concern: The Chargers secondary has been a scapegoat for problems the last couple of seasons, and now Antonio Cromartie is a Jet.
X-Factor: If Merriman stays healthy, people are going to get hurt.
The Chargers are always overflowing with talent so you can never discount them.
- Cincinnati Bengals. Bye: 6.
Marvin Lewis has finally built a solid defense in Cincinnati.
What to Like: The Bengals have scored at least three defensive touchdowns in each of the last three seasons.
Concern: Terrell Owens’ selfishness infects every team he’s on. It’s only a matter of time before he hurts Cincinnati. Hey, Mike Brown and company: Great signing. I guess you guys don’t pay attention to San Francisco, Dallas and Philadelphia.
X-Factor: Keith Rivers and Rey Maualuga are hungry and young. The middle layer of the Bengals defense is rock solid.
The Bengals are a good fantasy defense.
- Miami Dolphins. Bye: 5.
Bill Parcells’ teams usually go a good direction in Year 3.
What to Like: Parcells gave Karlos Dansby $22 million guaranteed to lead Miami’s defense. Dansby will make everyone around him better.
Concern: Jason Taylor will be 36 at the start of the season, but he had seven sacks last year. The Jets wanted him because he’s still effective. Losing Taylor hurts the Dolphins.
X-Factor: The Fins have to face the Patriots and Jets twice, and both offenses are loaded with weaponry. But the Dolphins also play horrible Buffalo two times so it kind of evens out.
The Dolphins should have a good spot-start fantasy defense.
- Cleveland Browns. Bye: 8.
I love the duo of Rob Ryan and Eric Mangini leading the Browns defense on the sideline. Ryan will always have that silver hair flopping around, and Mangini always looks slightly perturbed.
What to Like: Slow times in the 40-yard dash are overrated. There’s a difference between speed and football speed. I think Joe Haden was the right move as 7th-overall pick.
Concern: Shaun Rogers was arrested for carrying a loaded gun in his luggage in April. In an odd twist, Rogers nabbed a drunk driver in the Cleveland area on July 15. The 350-pounder is expected to move to defensive end after he comes off the active PUP list. Monitor his progress, on the field and off.
X-Factor: Joshua Cribbs is always a big play waiting to happen on special teams.
The Browns had 40 sacks last year. The offense won’t score much, so the pressure is on the defense.
- Denver Broncos. Bye: 9.
Josh McDaniels, if nothing else, has brought energy to Denver. It rubbed off on the defense in the form 39 sacks last season.
What to Like: Brian Dawkins and Champ Bailey make everyone around them better.
Concern: Don Martindale is the Broncos fifth defensive coordinator in the last five years.
X-Factor: Jamal Williams was a beast in the middle for a lot of years in San Diego. Can the 34-year-old make the same difference in Denver?
This unit has a lot of potential if the defensive line materializes.
- New York Giants. Bye: 8.
The Giants gave up 26.7 points per game last season, and I don’t see that number improving this year.
What to Like: Osi Umenyiora missed all of 2008 and had a down 2009, but the 28-year-old still has stud potential. Don’t forget that he had 33.5 sacks from 2005-2007.
Concern: The Giants will have a problem replacing Antonio Pierce’s leadership.
X-Factor: Jason Pierre-Paul has the look of a big-time pass rusher. I’m excited to find out if he’s as good as advertised.
Joe Gibbs and Bill Parcells don’t coach in the NFC East anymore. The Giants will take part in some shootouts, and the defense will suffer.
- Houston Texans. Bye: 7.
Houston’s defense made subtle strides last year, lowering their points per game allowed to 20.8.
What to Like: I was one of the many who criticized the Texans for taking Mario Williams with the first overall pick in 2006, but it was the right decision. Williams has 29.5 sacks in four NFL seasons.
Concern: Can first-round pick Kareem Jackson improve the secondary immediately? The Texans’ defensive backfield doesn’t have time for growing pains.
X-Factor: The Texans have the misfortune of playing Peyton Manning twice a year. Their defense is dead in Weeks 1 and 8.
You can get away with a spot-start, but don’t rely on the Texans defense.
- Carolina Panthers. Bye: 6.
The Panthers defense features Jon Beason, also known as the NFL’s most underrated player. Beason averages 140 tackles per season.
What to Like: The Panthers secondary had a combined 26 interceptions in 2007 and 2008, but had 22 interceptions last season.
Concern: It’s kind of tough to replace Julius Peppers.
X-Factor: The Panthers defense has to deal with Drew Brees and Matt Ryan twice a piece, and plays the Ravens, Steelers, Giants, and Bears out of conference. That’s a lot of unfavorable matchups.
The Panthers love to run which favors lower-scoring games. Carolina lacks flash, but their defense still has some fight.
- Indianapolis Colts. Bye: 7.
The Colts defense has increased its sack total each of the last three seasons. The Colts recorded a respectable 34 sacks in 2009.
What to Like: I’ll never forget watching Dwight Freeney abuse Jonathon Ogden on Sunday Night Football a number of years back. Freeney has 84 career sacks. His 13.5 sacks last year were his second highest single-season total (Freeney had 16 sacks in 2004).
Concern: The word is out that Bob Sanders may never play football again thanks to shoulder and bicep problems. Sanders’ ferocious, hard-hitting style makes him an injury risk every time he straps on the pads.
X-Factor: Like most teams rated this low, the Colts don’t have a stellar return game (only one return touchdown the last two seasons).
Freeney and Sanders need to stay healthy for this unit to have true value.
- Arizona Cardinals. Bye: 6.
The Cardinals allowed 20.3 points per game last season, shaving more than six points off their 2008 total.
What to Like: The Cardinals blitzed their way to 43 sacks last season, their highest total since a 55-sack season in 1985.
Concern: The Cards sure did lose some important pieces on defense: Karlos Dansby, Chike Okeafor, Antrel Rolle, Bertrand Berry and Bryant McFadden.
X-Factor: Joey Porter is loud and 33 years old, but he does have 92 career sacks. Porter’s familiar with Ken Whisenhunt from their days together in Pittsburgh.
Don’t forget: The Cardinals have two games against St. Louis.
- Atlanta Falcons. Bye: 8.
The Falcons defense wasn’t especially impressive in any facet of the game last season.
What to Like: Dunta Robinson has $57 million reasons to be a shutdown corner.
Concern: Ancient Fred Taylor ran for 105 yards on Atlanta’s defense in Week 3, but didn’t have more than 50 rushing yards in any other game.
X-Factor: Can first-round pick Sean Weatherspoon make and immediate impact at linebacker?
Even if Atlanta’s defense turns things around, they play New Orleans in Week 16. So don’t invest too deeply.
- Tennessee Titans. Bye: 9.
Too bad Lane Kiffin didn’t steal any defensive coaches. The Titans gave up 25.1 points per game last season.
What to Like: Cortland Finnegan plays every game hard. He’s had five interceptions and a touchdown each of the last two seasons.
Concern: After 10 seasons and 769 tackles, the Titans let Keith Bulluck walk to New York. It’s hard to replace the backbone of your defense.
X-Factor: The Titans had four defensive touchdowns last season.
Never count out a Jeff Fischer-led squad, but the Titans defense has some questions to answer.
- Buffalo Bills. Bye: 6.
The Bills will be hindered by a turnover-prone offense that will struggle to get first downs.
What to Like: Donte Whitner and Jairus Byrd make the safety position the strength of the team. The Bills defense had an eye-popping 28 interceptions last season.
Concern: The Bills’ transition an already shaky front seven to the 3-4 defense. Opposing offenses would be wise to keep it on the ground.
X-Factor: Free agent Andra Davis joins Paul Posluszny and Kawika Mitchell to form a serviceable linebacker unit. Davis has experience playing in the 3-4.
The Bills defense has some promise, but is handicapped by a stagnant passing offense.
- Washington Redskins. Bye: 9.
Jim Haslett knows how to coach defense, and the Redskins will benefit from his tutelage.
What to Like: The Redskins had 40 sacks last year.
Concern: Albert Haynesworth seems a little confused about his job description.
X-Factor: Mike Shanahan knows how to win football games. Denver Broncos owner Pat Bowlen made a foolish decision in firing the two-time Super Bowl winner. Shanahan will make the entire Redskins team better.
The Skins defense has some work to do, but don’t sleep on them. They have spot-start value if things fall correctly.
- Seattle Seahawks. Bye: 9.
Sports Illustrated and Real Sports have done features on Pete Carroll, and it’s creating buzz. He’ll need every bit of that trademark optimism to help his defense.
What to Like: Seattle has scored at least three defensive touchdowns in each of the last four seasons.
Concern: First-round pick Earl Thomas needs to be an immediate force in the Seattle secondary. The Seahawks defense had a paltry nine interceptions last year.
X-Factor: Patrick Kerney and his 82.5 career sacks retired.
OK, we’re hitting that range of defenses that only matter in 14-team leagues, with mandatory two-defense requirements.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Bye: 4.
Let’s give Tampa one last “congratulations” for firing John Gruden. Winning the NFC South every other season wasn’t good enough, and now they’re a perennial doormat.
What to Like: Barrett Ruud won’t help out with any of the glamour statistics, but he had 142 tackles last year. The 27-year-old field general plays every down.
Concern: Give the Buccaneers credit for addressing their defensive line weakness in the draft. Gerald McCoy and Brian Price should help, but will need time to develop.
X-Factor: The Buccaneers had two return touchdowns each of the last two seasons. Return men Clifton Smith, Sammie Stroughter and Michael Spurlock are all back.
OK, Raheem Morris. Let’s see what you got.
- Jacksonville Jaguars. Bye: 9.
Jack Del Rio is calling the defensive shots this season, and that’s a good thing. Del Rio would be wise to completely leave the offense alone and focus on his coaching strength.
What to Like: The Jaguars draft day mission was clear. Five of their first six picks were defenders. Hopefully their rookies are quick learners.
Concern: The Jaguars defense had 14 sacks last year. I was going to insert a sarcastic remark, but I think that number speaks for itself.
X-Factor: Aaron Kampman left Green Bay, and signed with Jacksonville. The Jags need Kampman and his ACL to get back to his 15.5-sack 2006 level.
The Jags play the Bills in Week 5 and the Browns in Week 11.
- St. Louis Rams. Bye: 5.
The New England Patriots offense steamrolled their way to Super Bowl 39, and then Tom Brady met Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. I believe Spagnuolo will get the Rams defense turned around eventually, but probably not in 2010.
What to Like: James Laurinaitis appears to be a good one. Now Road Warrior Animal can get 10-12 years of post-wrestling television coverage.
Concern: Eight interceptions and 25 sacks in 2009 prevented the Rams defense from drawing comparisons to the 1985 Chicago Bears.
X-Factor: The Rams haven’t had a special teams’ return touchdown since 2007.
The Rams play the Raiders in Week 2 and the Buccaneers in Week 7.
- Detroit Lions. Bye: 7.
Jim Schwartz earned the head coaching job in Detroit with his defensive X’s and O’s in Tennessee. The Lions defense will slowly get better, but not soon enough to have value in 2010.
What to Like: If you’ve watched Ndamukong Suh, you know what he’s capable of.
Concern: The Lions gave up more than 30 points and 392 yards per game in 2009.
X-Factor: This offseason, the Lions signed Kyle Vanden Bosch, who used to rack up sacks for Schwartz in Tennessee. If the 31-year-old Vanden Bosch can recapture his 2007 form, it’s a huge addition.
Like the Rams, the Lions are still stuck in rebuilding mode.
- Oakland Raiders. Bye: 10.
Nnamdi Asomugha is widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the NFL, but he needs help.
What to Like: The Raiders recorded a promising 37 sacks last season.
Concern: Oakland’s defense lacks big-play ability. They haven’t scored a defensive touchdown since 2007.
X-Factor: After embarrassing themselves by taking Darrius Heyward-Bey with the seventh-overall pick in 2009, the Raiders got it right this year. Rolando McClain doesn’t appear to have much downside.
The Raiders have been a mess since 2003.
- Kansas City Chiefs. Bye: 4.
Romeo Crennel will try to recapture some of that Patriots aura at Arrowhead.
What to Like: Eric Berry was an NFL safety playing college football last year.
Concern: Former fifth-overall draft pick Glenn Dorsey has two sacks in two seasons.
X-Factor: Brandon Flowers had a third of the Chiefs interceptions last season. He’s an important piece of the Chiefs defense.
The Chiefs defense has some promise, but they haven’t produced on Sundays.
