2008 Fantasy Football Cheat Sheet Rankings: Defensive Backs
All rankings are based off of a standard head to head scoring system (tackles - sole & assisted, sacks, interceptions, return yards, touchdowns, passes defended, forced fumbles, fumble recoveries) in mixed AFC/NFC leagues.
For sleeper, breakout, and bust player picks, check out the key
below.
BUST = player will register far below their 2007 stat totals
BREAKOUT = player will surpass expectations and/or have a career year in 2008
SLEEPER = player will be a late round pick or go undrafted and has a good chance of producing fantasy worthy stats in 2008
Good Luck to Everyone This Fantasy Football Season!
DEFENSIVE BACK RANKINGS
1. Terrence McGee - Buffalo Bills
McGee's combination of return yards and tackles make him the best defensive back available.
2. Marcus Trufant - Seattle Seahawks
If your league doesn't count return yards, then Trufant is the best defensive back in terms of tackles, interceptions, and passes defensed.
3. Antonio Cromartie - San Diego Chargers BREAKOUT
Cromartie put up ridiculous fantasy stats in 2007 and he didn't even begin the season as a starter.
4. Asante Samuel - Philadelphia Eagles
Interceptions are his niche.
5. Bob Sanders - Indianapolis Colts
If he can stay healthy he is probably the only defensive back in the NFL who can rack up 100 solo tackles.
6. Nate Clements - San Francisco 49ers
With the 49ers on defense a lot, Clements should get plenty of opportunities for interceptions and tackles.
7. Champ Bailey - Denver Broncos
A defensive back with great hands means lots of interceptions over the course of a season.
8. DeAngelo Hall - Oakland Raiders
If DeAngelo is as good as he claims, then quarterbacks will throw everywhere but near him which will diminish his overall fantasy value.
9. Darrelle Revis - New York Jets BREAKOUT
After a very good rookie season last year, Revis should definitely be able to build upon his numbers in '08.
10. Atari Bigby - Green Bay Packers
Bigby is a hard hitting safety that plays like a linebacker and is seemingly in on every tackle.
