SUMMARY
Def / ST Rank: #6   
Overall: #120

The Jets defense was solid last season and could improve even more with defensive minded coach Rex Ryan now at the helm. Ryan was a highly productive coach for the Ravens defense the last several seasons. He should dial up the pressure for the Jets, who could improve on last season's 40 sacks. The Jets don't have a dominant pass rusher, but a lot of capable options. And the addition of linebacker Bart Scott gives this unit another top playmaker on the defensive side of the ball. Scott should be the anchor of the defense for years to come. Kerry Rhodes is the top playmaker in the secondary. Rhodes is a top safety capable of breaking up the run or pass. He just makes plays. The Jets also added top cover corner Lito Sheppard during the offseason, giving them another playmaker in the secondary. Leon Washington gives the Jets a big-time threat on special teams. He had a kick return touchdown last season and averaged 25.6 yards per kick return. Washington is an electric return man with big-play ability.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Jets have become a top fantasy defense/special team. They have a lot of sack potential, especially with Scott now on board. And the secondary is more than capable of shutting down a defense with Rhodes, Sheppard and Darrelle Revis causing havoc. And the return game makes this unit a elite option for fantasy teams.
