In this weeks edition of defense/special team rankings, I'm breaking out my crystal ball for picks outside of the top 8. You can't hold me accountable for anything below the top 8. As a matter of a fact I feel so confident about my top 8 I think they all score above 10 fantasy points in week 1. Jacksonville, Detroit, Baltimore and New Orleans will feast and net you more than 15 points! Good luck fellas.
