 Fantasy Football
Defense, as they say in the NFL, wins championships. In fantasy football, the entire unit is just another single member of a given team, far less important than two halfbacks and about on equal par with, say, the starting tight end. Or is it?

I think it was from ESPN, they did a special saying on how the top defense and the last defense was barely 20 points or so apart. Making it almost stupid to draft a defense any higher than your last 3 picks.

Another point on the Bills, don't forget they will get back a healthy Paul Poszluszny manning the MLB spot this year. Poz broke his arm in Week 3 and was lost for the rest of the season. The arm is fully healed and theres no concern about a slow recovery. Poz was leading the league in tackles at the time of his injury and should make as much of an impact for this defense as Stoud, Mitchell and McKelvin. Look for the Bills to have a Top-15 defense this year, even though they have the Pats twice.

The Bills still need to stop the run. Stroud may help, but if Poszluszny is making tackles five yards from the line, the Bills will be unsuccessful again. They will continue to take the ball away, and they will continue to give up few points, but the other offense will probably control much of the clock at key situations in the game. Besides, Perry Fewell showed last year against Dallas that he has an inability to run the proper defense in the proper situation, i.e. running prevent instead of cloud with under a minute in the game.
