| Sherman will make the Jags c | ry. |
The question is how do you pick the right one? The philosophy here is the opposite of kickers. It is all based on matchups. If a team is playing a crap ass offensive team then that is a defense you want to target. So the basics of finding value in weekly Fanduel leagues is as follows. Find the crappiest offensive team that is facing a reasonably decent defense that costs $5,200 or less. Done.
Fanduel Plays of the Week: Defenses
Seattle Seahawks - $5,700
Yup, this breaks my rules on price, but the Jags are so bad and the Seahawks are so good on D that this could be a monster day. Buy high and go a bit lower on RB or WR.
The Jags may be sent to the Canadian Football League after this debacle.
Projections: 5 sacks, 1 defensive TD, 2 INT, 2 fumble and they will hold the Jags to no more than 3 points.
New Orleans Saints - $5,000
Last year these guys were the pits. Like real , real bad. Enter Rob Ryan and they have almost overnight become a middle of the road D. They have a nice matchup against the Arizona Cardinals
Projections: 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 kick return TD, 1 fumble and they will hold the Cards to under 21 points.
Buffalo Bills - $5,000
The Bills spent a lot of money over the last few years on defense. Last week they gave quite a few yards to Carolina, but hey face the Jets who are arguably worse than they are on offense.
I see this game as a low scoring dull-fest where both teams could be good defensive plays.
Projections: 2 sacks, 1 INT, 1 fumble, hold NY to 14 points or less.
Other Solid Options: I rarely spend this money but both the Broncos and the Patriots at $5,400 could end up being top defenses come Tuesday morning. I also like he Jets at $5,000.
