Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Week 1? Home versus the Cleveland Browns. The Jags finished second in interceptions in 2025 (22) after posting the third-lowest INT rate in 2024. They made a sneaky leap last year by leading the NFL in passes defended. As one of the league's premier "pass-funnels," the Jags DST has boom potential with a salivating Week 1 matchup. But be warned that they might be extremely feast or famine as the 21st-ranked defense in the 2026 projections. Jacksonville's defensive interior ranked second-lowest in pass-rush productivity across the NFL in 2025 - resulting in an underwhelming sack total (27th).	Week 1? Home versus the Atlanta Falcons. That in itself justifies selecting the Steelers DST. They also come in at No. 4 in the projections - but this unit has seen a fall-off over the last 2 seasons (4 to 9). The Steelers' secondary was shredded at times last season, allowing the fourth-most passing yards per game and ranking third in total missed tackles. FA acquisitions Jaquan Brisker and Jamel Dean should help bolster the back-end, but this defense STILL projects as one of the oldest in the league. But the third-easiest schedule through the first eight games suggests they start the year strongly.
