| Green Bay ranked just 20th defensively, but managed a whooping nine defensive/special teams touchdowns. The Packers were a big play defense, getting 22 interceptions and six fumble recoveries. Their pass rush was lacking, though, and Green Bay struggled stopping the run all season long. The Packers hoped to address those deficiencies during the draft, taking tackle B.J. Raji and linebacker Clay Matthews. Both players are instant upgrades defensively and should provide this unit a lift. Aaron Kampman is the top pass rusher for the Packers off the end and one of the elite rushers in the game, but he needs some help. The Packers secondary is solid. Charles Woodson and Al Harris are getting older, but still do well in coverage and are capable of making big plays. Will Blackmon is the top return man for the Packers. He had two return scores last season and is an above average returner.

Don't count on the Packers getting nine touchdowns again, but they have some potential. Their sack totals should increase and the secondary has upside for turnovers. The Packers will allow some yards and points, though, which hurt their value some. Consider them a marginal every-week starter for fantasy teams. |
