3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 7
With a home matchup against the Cleveland Browns, the Cincinnati Bengals are a option for Week 7. Which other defenses should you target on FanDuel?

Tennessee Titans

FanDuel Price: $4,600
Projections: 22.47 points allowed, 2.41 sacks, 1.58 turnovers, 0.14 touchdowns

The Tennessee D/ST has been on fire in recent weeks. In their last two games, they’ve notched back-to-back six-sack performances against Cleveland and Miami -- both teams with poor pass protecting offensive lines. In Week 7, they will face the Indianapolis Colts, who have allowed at least two sacks in every game this season, including three games of at least five sacks allowed.

The Titans are just 2.5-point Vegas favorites this weekend, and the Colts' implied team total is right in line with our projection (22.75). Because of the Vegas expectation, not many DFS players will look to roster Tennessee. In fact, D/STs in divisional matchups in this price range -- $4,600 or below -- have seen an average ownership of just 2.3% in the last three seasons.

Let’s also not forget that Andrew Luck is prone to multi-turnover performances. Since the beginning of 2014, he’s thrown two or more interceptions in 10 games. With this turnover and sack upside, combined with their likely low ownership, Tennessee is an elite GPP play this weekend.
