Defenses

How many 'Elite' Defenses are there going to be this year?

The past few years if you had Chicago, NY Jets, Green Bay or Pittsburgh you would play them every week regardless of match up and also pickup a second defense in the bye week since they were too valuable to drop.

So far this year it looks like things are shaking up a bit and I am curious of who is looking like the top plays.

Just to start I was looking and the only defenses i would consider playing regardless of the opponent: Baltimore and NY Jets

Other defenses look good but I haven't seen anything that would prevent me from dropping them for a better match play.

Other possible leaders for this year:

Titans - lowest points allowed in the league
Redskins - lead league in sacks, low points allowed
Lions - in the top end for points, Fairly will make his first start this Monday night.
Texans - scary that they are even in the running
Bears - Solid D, Devin Hester
49ers - look pretty good, solid Run D (division is horrible so they have a good schedule)
Bengals - look solid
