Team Defense Fantasy Football Week 1 Rankings

September 7, 2012 by Kurt Turner

The Seahawks Defense could make things rough for the Cardinals in Week 1.

The 2012 NFL season is here, we've all been waiting for week 1 since the end of the season last year. Here's our Week 1 Team Defense Fantasy Football Rankings! I like the Ravens the most, if you have them, lucky you! Waiver wire defenses are good for spot duty against weak teams. Look for the Seahawks  and Saints to perform well in week 1.

Rank Team Notes
1 Raven vs. Bengals Bengals O-LINE is busted up and the Raven D-line is refreshed, its going to be a sack-o-rama!
2 Bears vs. Colts Rookie QB versus historically sounds Bears Defense, no brainer week 1 pick.
3 Eagles vs. Browns Browns fact elite corners and a pressure heavy d-line, Trent Richardson has also missed a ton of pre-season action.
4 Texans vs. Dolphins Tannehill will have his hands full finding open WR against this blitx happy Texans D
5 Vikings vs. Jaguars No MJD against a stack D-LINE, good luck Jennings.
6 Seahawks vs. Cardinals Seahawks defense was solid last year, and is a big sleeper for me this year. No matter who the QB is look for a couple INT.
7 Lions vs. Rams The Rams can pass protect and that's what they'll have to figure out in the 2nd quarter.
8 Saints vs. Redskins Saints won't be able to stop the run, to bad the Skins will have to pass to catchup in the 2nd QTR. Doesn't bode well for a rookie QB.
9 Jets vs. Bills Historically a very sound defense, they'll have to play strong for the team to compete, and they know this!
10 Pats vs. Titans Locker is a "lock" for two picks while trying to play catch-up in week 1.
11 Giants vs. Cowboys The Cowboy will be off to a slow start with Witten sidelined and Austin out of sync with Romo..
12 Bill vs. Jets It's the Jets, need I say more? This one should be a low scoring affair.
13 Bengals vs. Ravens
14 Steelers vs. Broncos Manning first test is a tough one, but he'll dink and dunk his way, or will he?
15 Broncos vs. Steelers
16 Cowboys vs. Giants
17 49's vs. Packers
18 Cardinals vs. Seahawks Rookie QB who I really don't believe in, would rank Cardinals higher if they had a better fantasy football Defense
19 Chiefs vs. Falcons
20 Falcons vs. Chiefs
