Sure, you can waste a high draft pick on a can’t-miss defense. Or, if you want to trust your instincts, you can wait and get one of these sleeper defenses and end up with a lot more value out of your 2011 fantasy football draft. Try one of these defense sleepers on for size:
San Diego Chargers
In real life, the Chargers were a top three defense last season. While they weren’t very valuable fantasy football wise, expect that luck to change in 2011.
Detroit Lions
Having Ndamukong Suh on your side in any sport is a good thing — even fantasy football. Their are other young studs on this team that make the Lions a very promising defensive squad this season.

Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs play it safely on offense and come at you with an aggressive defense. That combination works well when it comes to racking up fantasy defense points.
Oakland Raiders
With all the losing the Raiders have done lately, they have been able to build up quite a talent base on defense. Look for Oakland’s defense to be better than most imagine during the 2011 fantasy football season.
