| The Eagles boasted the top defense in many fantasy leagues last season. They had 29 turnovers, 48 sacks and scored seven defensive/special teams touchdowns. This unit did it all last season. And much of the core unit of this defense returns this season. Trent Cole is the top rusher off the end, but the Eagles create pressure will many of their options because of all the blitzes they throw at the opposition. The Eagles secondary can shutdown an opposition with Asante Samuel and Sheldon Brown as their starting corners. And the addition of Sean Jones at safety bolsters the pass defense even more. Philly also does a good job of stuffing the run with tackles Brodrick Bunkley and Mike Patterson clogging up the middle. The Eagles special teams do a great job on returns. Quintin Demps averaged over 25 yards per kick return and scored a touchdown. And DeSean Jackson held down the punt return duties, averaging 8.8 yards per kick while scoring a touchdown. And this unit could get even better with Jeremy Maclin in the mix. Maclin was an electric return man in college and should get his chances on punt and kick returns for the Eagles this season.

The Eagles are an elite fantasy defense. They do a good job of pressuring the quarterback and causing turnovers. Expect them to be near the top of the league in both categories this season. The Eagles also limit yards and points, and their return game is top notch. They should be on of the first three defenses off the board come draft day. |
