Summary

The Redskins made big strides last year defensively after a terrible season the previous year. Washington still didn't score much for fantasy teams, ranking 28th overall, but were 12th defensively. The strength of the defense was the secondary, which ranked 12th overall. They had just 13 interceptions, hurting their fantasy value. The pass rush is solid, though, having 40 sacks last year. Expect the interception totals to get better with guys like DeAngelo Hall and Cedric Griffin starting at cornerback. The rush defense isn't off the charts but decent with veteran linebacker London Fletcher making plays all over the field. The special teams play is just alright for the Redskins with Brandon Banks likely returning both punts and kicks. Banks has some good moves in space and a little big-play ability but isn't an elite option in the return game.

FANTASY OUTLOOK

The Redskins aren't a bad fantasy defense. The special teams aren't much of a factor, but they have good sack potential and should limit the yards with a decent amount of talent at linebacker and in the secondary. Consider them a platoon option, just outside the group of starting defenses/special teams.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan had never missed a defensive snap through his first 25 NFL games, but that streak ended in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kerrigan played 65 of the 74 snaps, and he was pulled only because the score of the game was so lopsided.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan helped the defensive backs more in pass coverage in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons. Kerrigan frequently pressed the line as though he might blitz, but then dropped back to help with pass coverage. It appears as though the linebackers will have to continue aiding the secondary in order to be successful.

Washington Redskins LB Ryan Kerrigan said he expects to build upon a strong rookie season in 2012. Kerrigan finished last season with 7.5 sacks, four tackles for a loss, four forced fumbles and an interception. Kerrigan is more comfortable in his role as an outside linebacker. 'It's just improving on what I know,' Kerrigan said. 'Last year, it was just about learning and getting adjusted to the new position. But I know what's expected of me now. I know my assignments this year, and I've just got to work on improving it. That's what's exciting to me about this year. I feel more comfortable with the defense. I'm more sure of myself. I'm playing faster because I know what to do. And I think that's going to translate into big things for this defense this year.'
