| The Jags defense does a decent job of limiting points and yards, but the rest of their numbers aren't too impressive. The Jags had just 29 sacks and caused 17 turnovers, which ranked near the bottom of the league. Jacksonville needs to get more production from defensive ends Derrick Harvey and Reggie Heyward. Tackle John Henderson does a good job of bottling up the run, though. Justin Durant moves to middle linebacker this season with Mike Peterson gone. Durant has some big shoes to fill, but the talent to produce. The Jags have an above-average secondary with Rashean Mathis and Brian Williams starting at cornerback. Mathis is a big-play corner with a lot of interception and touchdown potential. Brian Witherspoon should handle the return duties again this season. Witherspoon did a good job last year, averaging 11.3 yards per punt return and 24 yards on kick returns. The Jags special teams scored a touchdown last season.

The Jags defense is on the decline for fantasy teams. They don't rush the passer well and their turnovers have been down in recent seasons. Jacksonville can rebound some after last season, but don't expect a huge turnaround, making them more spot starters than a No. 1 defense. |
