Summary

The Lions are an emerging fantasy defense/special teams. To the surprise of many, this unit ranked second in fantasy scoring in most formats. They did rank just 23rd overall defensively but did a great job of getting sacks, causing turnovers and scoring some points. This is a young unit that should continue to get better. The Lions had 41 sacks last season and can improve on that with the likes of Ndamukong Suh and Cliff Avril getting more seasoned. The Lions do have some issues stopping the pass, though, if they don't get the pressure on the quarterback. They lack a shutdown corner and allowed some huge passing games last season. This should be a weakness once again. The return game isn't too special with Stefan Logan and Titus Young getting the chances. Young has more upside for the big play but lacks some consistency.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Lions are a legit fantasy starter. They'll get you sacks and turnovers with the best of them. Detroit will allow some big yardage and point totals, though, so keep them in mind. We doubt they finish second in scoring again this year but can be around a top-10 defense/special teams.
