Expert
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	With new HC Jesse Minter leading a healthier Ravens defense against an easier schedule, I'd project Baltimore to get back into the top-tier DST conversation. The cupcake schedule to open 2026 also benefits them greatly: Colts, Saints, Cowboys, Titans, Falcons and Browns. Draft that Ravens DST has the second-easiest schedule through the first six weeks of the year (top-5 in the FantasyPros SOS overall).	Atlanta starts the year at Pittsburgh and at home versus the Panthers. Decent spot for an underrated unit that was a fringe top 12 unit in 2025. Just need more clarity on second-year EDGE rusher James Pearce Jr. and his availability for the upcoming season. Because otherwise, the projections love Atlanta as an underrated unit (second in projected sacks) after finishing last year second in that category.
