Summary

The Patriots didn't do much to limit yards and points last season but were a strong fantasy defense because of high sack and interception totals. They made up for the high scoring games with a lot of turnovers and quarterback pressures. Expect more of the same as the defense remains pretty young and should get better with more seasoning. The Patriots used their first six draft picks on defensive players this season, hoping to improve the area even more. The pass defense needs the most improvement and could be a concern again for this season. But the pass rush should be good and the run defense should be improved some with more bulk on the line. Special teams isn't a huge strength but Danny Woodhead and Julian Edelman are above-average return men, so it isn't a weakness, either.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Patriots are a solid pick for fantasy teams unless you are in a league that penalizes for yards and points allowed. They will get you plenty of sacks and interceptions, and normally are good for a few defensive scores. Just know your scoring. Consider them a top-10 option in most formats.

New England Patriots CB Ras-I Dowling has apparently fallen out of favor, playing just 45 of his team's 273 defensive snaps through the first four games. He played 36 snaps in the regular season opener, and was flagged for pass interference in that game. Whatever the case, he has gotten extremely limited playing time since.
