#72 Matt Light   Pos: Offensive Line NFL Team: NWE Injury: Questionable Injury Type: knee Experience: 9 College: Purdue Height: 76 Weight: 305 Born: 6/23/1978 SUMMARY The Patriots ranked 10th defensively last season, but weren't much of a factor for fantasy teams. They had just one defensive/special teams touchdown, 31 sacks and 14 interceptions. Those totals put them in the middle of the pack fantasy wise. The Patriots should be able to create more turnovers in the secondary, though, with the additions for Shawn Springs and Leigh Bodden. Linebacker Jerod Mayo is a star in the making and could have a big season this year. The Patriots linebackers are top notch with Mayo, Tedy Bruschi and Adalius Thomas leading the way. This defense should once again limit points and yards this season. The Patriots had just one special teams touchdown last season, but their return game is pretty good. Wes Welker and Ellis Hobbs are two of the better return men in the game, giving the Patriots a pretty good chance to break a big play every time they are on the field. Plus, rookie Brandon Tate could get his chances as a return man. FANTASY OUTLOOK The Patriots defense is always solid and this year should be no different. Expect a spike in sacks and interceptions, but don't overvalue this unit based on their name. New Englad is a solid No. 1 for fantasy team, but not an elite unit. 2009-11-13 21:23:02 New England Patriots OT Matt Light (knee) was limited in practice Friday, Nov. 13.
