Anyone who watched the embarrassing display the Seattle Seahawks offense put on Monday night in Chicago knows why the Dallas Cowboys are on this list.
Seattle's o-line was beaten up all night long, never allowing quarterback Russell Wilson time in the pocket. Wilson was sacked six times and fumbled twice. Their troubles weren't just a one-week occurrence either as Seattle gave up six sacks in Week 1 as well. Their 12 sacks allowed is by far the most in the NFL. The line's struggles have led to the 'Hawks ground game coming to a halt too, gaining under 70 yards per game, the fourth-lowest in the league.
Overall, the Seahawks and their shaky offense have given up the most FanDuel points to opposing defenses (14.5 per game), making them the perfect target for an underrated Cowboys D.
According to our schedule-adjusted metrics, Dallas owns the ninth-best defense in the NFL, thanks to a fierce pass rush. Through two games, they have given up only 274.0 yards and 14.5 points per game, but most importantly for fantasy purposes have registered 9 sacks. Only the Bears have recorded more.
Sitting as the fifth-lowest priced option of the week -- but our third-best value -- the Cowboys will save you a ton of cash and could easily wind up as one of the top scoring units of Week 3.
