| The Cowboys defense might have allowed a few more points than normal last season (23 points per game), but they led the league in sacks (59). DeMarcus Ware has become one of the top pass rushers in the game and should be for years to come. The entire unit did a great job getting after the passer, which was needed since the secondary disappointed (eight interceptions). The secondary didn't make many improvements during the offseason, so this could be a concern once again this season. The special teams could get a boost with a healthy Felix Jones back. He scored a return touchdown in his limited action last season.

A top-ten fantasy defense as long as Ware is around. This unit will get a ton of sacks. And a healthy Jones gives them good TD potential in the return game. Now if they could just start making some plays in the secondary, the Cowboys might be the best fantasy defense in the game. |
