Team Defense Drafting Advice

REMEMBER - TEAM DEFENSE INCLUDES SPECIAL TEAMS

There are two stages of thought when it comes to select a team defense for your fantasy football team:

Should you draft the previous year's best defense or not? 

Generally, I would say NO.  The few teams that score the highest in a given year will usually do so through defensive and special teams touchdowns.  Don't count on any team to reliable score defensive/special team TDs.

Also, injuries can kill a defense throughout a year, so that defense you thought was untouchable can become average.  This was the case with the Baltimore Ravens last year.  Many people drafted the Ravens in one of the top 6 rounds last year and got burned.

The margin of points scored between the best defensive teams and the second level defenses isn't always that great.  For that reason, I would suggest waiting until at least the 9th round before you draft a defense for your fantasy football team.
