2012 Outlook: Solid/Safe Pick
Last updated on Aug-12-2012 by Matt De LimaDetroit's defense had three games where it produced two touchdowns. These high-scoring performances skew the numbers a bit. While points count all the same, the Lions' up and down play isn't ideal and should be considered one of the more risky options among the Top 10 defenses. Another good year would go a long way in establishing them as one of the better fantasy defenses. The Lions saw a big improvement in their pass defense, which limited big plays compared to years past. It's also worth noting that they will play the Packers twice, so starting them in those weeks is certainly a gamble.
Update (8/12): With the loss of cornerback Eric Wright to free agency, the release of his replacement Aaron Berry and the injury to safety Louis Delmas, this defense looks troubled. Delmas could be back before Week 1, but the appearance that this defense is in flux could slide them down some people's draft boards.
