Summary

Def / ST Rank: #7All Players: #167

The Bengals not only were a surprise team last season but a surprise defensively. This unit really improved, finishing seventh overall and scored the 13th most fantasy points. The big strength of the defense was pass defense. The Bengals ranked ninth against the pass and had 45 sacks. The Bengals have an emerging top corner in Dre Kirkpatrick and some nice veterans to compliment him, including Nate Clements, Terrance Newman and Leon Hall. Pass defense should be a strength for this team once again. The Bengals also aren't too shabby against the run, ranking 10th against the rush. Cincinnati has some real playmakers at linebacker, which helps the run defense. Special teams are pretty solid for the Bengals. Brandon Tate has some big-play ability and a history of some long returns.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

The Bengals are a low-end No. 1 for fantasy teams. This unit has some potential but it wouldn't surprise to see them take a bit of a step back with a tougher schedule. They are still a spot starter, though, as they have sack potential and will do a decent job of limiting points and yards.
