On the Rise
JETS
New acquisitions Vernon Gholston (above) and Kris Jenkins will add value to a defense that already includes fantasy stars Kerry Rhodes and Darrelle Revis.
SEAHAWKS
This underappreciated group is led by Lofa Tatupu, one of the game's most active defenders.
PACKERS
With the offense in transition, Green Bay's outstanding defense and special teams will be called upon to do even more.
On the Decline
RAVENS
This team has been defined by its elite defense for years, but this aging unit could plummet abruptly.
STEELERS
They will still be among the best at keeping opponents off the board, but they won't score many fantasy points.
GIANTS
With Michael Strahan's retirement, they no longer have the best three-end rotation in the league.
