Defense/Special Teams

High-Cost Option: Pittsburgh Steelers ($3,700)

Picking on the Browns is nothing new this season, and it's led us to the Steelers this week. Cleveland is giving up the second-most sacks (30) and the most quarterback hits in the league (79). They've given the ball up 15 times and are absolutely a team worthy of attacking in DFS. Pittsburgh has lost four straight, but enter this matchup as 7.5-point road favorites. Look for their defense to set the tone in this one and get the Steelers back on track.

Mid-Cost Option: Detroit Lions ($3,200)

The Detroit Lions are playing at home as 6.5-point favorites and get a nice matchup against the turnover-friendly Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars have given up the ball 19 times this season, ranking third-worst in giveaways. They've allowed 21 sacks and Blake Bortles is finding new, creative ways to turn the ball over every game. Fire up the Lions, who are anticipating a return of DeAndre Levy back to their linebacking corp.

Low-Cost Option: Miami Dolphins ($2,900)

The Dolphins might not be playing at home, but Vegas has this game projected as the lowest total of the week at just 40 points. This is largely due to the Los Angeles Rams debuting rookie Jared Goff, in a game that should be ugly from start to finish. The Rams haven't done a terrific job of protecting this season, allowing the tenth-most sacks (23) and should be facing a ton of stacked boxes this week. There aren't a ton of great cheap defensive plays, but if forced to pinch pennies, Miami offers a solid solution.

Other Options: New York Giants ($3,500)
