Keep that in mind for your fantasy football draft.

With the regular season coming quickly, fantasy football fans are preparing for the new season as well.

And when it comes to the Arizona Cardinals, it is really all about David Johnson, who will likely be drafted first overall by a whole bunch of people.

But it isn’t just Johnson who has high fantasy value. The Cardinals defense also could get drafted highly by many.

Having led the league in sacks a season ago, combined with the abilities of Patrick Peterson and the hopeful return to health by Tyrann Mathieu, Arizona’s defense should pile up stats between turnovers and sacks.

And when it comes to fantasy football, it is more about the flashy stats than anything else.

If all goes well, not only will David Johnson be key for fantasy players winning their league, perhaps also the Cardinals defense can be a difference maker.
