Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $3,900
numberFire Projection: 8.6 FanDuel points

The Green Bay Packers' defense has struggled the last four games, allowing at least 29 points in each game as they went 1-3. Despite the weakness on the scoreboard, the Pack is a solid DFS play in Week 10 thanks to an offensively floundering opponent in the Miami Dolphins.

The Dolphins have managed to score over 23 points just one time in their last six games. With Brock Osweiler under center the last four weeks, they are averaging only 21.3 points per game. The last three weeks have been especially brutal with Osweiler getting sacked 10 times and averaging just 206.3 passing yards. With the Packers penchant for getting after the quarterback and shutting down the passing game, Osweiler and the Dolphins look to be in trouble again on Sunday.

Green Bay ranks 6th in the NFL with 25 sacks in 8 games. They also rank in the top-10 in passing yards allowed per game (233.0). The Packers have also excelled at stripping the football, forcing the second-most fumbles in the NFL this season, at 1.5 per game.

In a week filled with elite D/ST options, the Pack are a mid-priced flier worth a play in Week 10. Costing just $3,900 this week, Green Bay is our second-best value at the D/ST spot and carry the fourth-most projected points.
