We have the Bears listed as our number 1 ranked fantasy football defense headed into 2013. The Seahawks can easily slid into the No. 1 spot, but I love the Bears toward the fantasy playoffs. Field conditions are harsh at home and they have double digit upside every week.
Denver's is taking a big hit with Von Miller suspension, so I dropped them into the second tier. The rest of the top 12 defenses are listed below.
