Any seasoned fantasy football player understands that a dominant NFL defense does not necessarily equal a dominant fantasy defense. The case and point for this would be the 2014 Seattle D/ST, who were undisputedly ranked as the best defense in the NFL entering the year and thus drafted at an average draft position around 85th overall.
But despite being a great unit once again by NFL standards, they ranked just 23rd overall in fantasy points per game, an undeniable letdown given their unreal eight-round average draft position (ADP). Despite leading the league in points allowed at just over 15 per game, they failed to produce the touchdowns and turnovers needed to catapult them into the top-10 in fantasy.
