NFL Fantasy Football: 5 Things You Need to Know Before Your Draft

4. Defenses

Befunky Dal Giants Cowboys 06 Drafting defenses is HUGELY underrated when it comes to drafting them into your fantasy team. A lot of times, your defense will contribute more points then a good receiver or running back. Defenses are ranked on a lot of different criteria. The main one being turnovers forced. Everytime a defense scores a turn over it's HUGE for your fantasy team. However there's two sides to every coin. When your defense gives up a lot of yards or touchdowns, it'll cost you, big. So keep that in mind when you're in the market for a good defense. It'd say a great one is definitely worth drafting in a 5th or 6th round.
