Jon Beason #2 overall

last year in fantasy points for defensive players. he finished second to patrick willis of the 49ers. he's projected 3rd this season again behind willis and james laurinaitis of the rams.

Those numbers might fluctuate if he gets moved to the WLB

In this defense they could very well fluctuate up.

that's not really a good thing. high number of tackles usually means the defense can't get off the field because they suck or can't stay off the field because the offense sucks.

here's hoping he isn't among the top in the league this year.

Yeah i was looking at that a while ago and i think it was like only two of the top 20 players in total tackles were on playoff teams. I don't know how that carries over for previous years but it makes sense to me.

Actually Meek's defense funnels the runner to the will and really enables him to make plays. It was part of the reason that Davis was having a great season. The defense could be good and Beason would still get the lion's share of tackles. Usually a middle linebacker getting a ton of tackles in our defense suggest a problem with the run defense. It means players are coming clean through the middle. So if Beason playing the Will is at the top in tackles, it means that Louis and Tyler are doing a decent job plugging things up. It Connor has a 100 tackles this year then I will be more concerned.

Good point. Willis has had better statistics the Beason since the two joined the league but IMO Willis is on the field much longer than the BEAST is. So his numbers are going to be higher.
