2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick

Last updated on May-14-2012 by Chris Weeks

The Jets defense finished the 2011 season allowing 4,993 yards, the 5th best overall. Not allowing yards is great and all, but that didn't stop opposing offenses from scoring 363 points -- 20th best defense in this catagory. In terms of take aways and sacks New York had 31 and 35 respectivly, which was good enough to put them in the middle of the pack. What this all means is there are 12-15 teams which scored more fantasy points than the Jets last season. Sure New York tried to address their lack of sacks by drafting Coples, but that doesn't mean a lot. The Jets tried the same thing a few years ago when they drafted Gholston and look where that got them. New York's defense should be better this season, but they're not a top 5 defense. We expect them to finish somehwere in the top 12, so they should be a starting option in most fantasy leagues.
