3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 7

Cincinnati Bengals

FanDuel Price: $5,100
Projections: 19.76 points allowed, 2.54 sacks, 2.04 turnovers, 0.26 touchdowns

When looking for defenses to use on FanDuel, one of your first steps should be to bring up the NFL schedule and check out who is playing the Cleveland Browns. In their six games this season, opposing defenses against Cleveland have yet to score below 6.0 FanDuel points, with three teams hitting the 10-point mark.

The Cincinnati Bengals have the pleasure of hosting the Browns this weekend, and Cincy is a 9.5-point favorite. The Browns aren’t expected to score much this weekend -- they have the second-lowest implied team total of the week at 18, which is actually lower than our current projection of 19.76 points.

Not only does the Cincinnati D/ST have a great matchup, but they’re also in a situation where FanDuel defenses have historically performed very well. Defenses that are priced at $5,000 or more as home favorites of 10 points or more have scored 10-plus FanDuel points 50% of the time over the last three seasons.

A 50% chance of scoring double-digit FanDuel points is about as high as you’ll get for your D/ST spot. The Bengals should be your top choice for cash games in Week 7.
