3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 10

Kansas City Chiefs

FanDuel Price: $4,600
numberFire Projection: 9.9 FanDuel points

The Kansas City Chiefs' defense was horrific to start the season. In their first three games, they allowed an average of 30.6 points and 474.0 yards per game. Ever since Week 4, though, they have been a different unit.

Over their last six games, the Chiefs have held opponents to 23 points 5 times, with only the New England Patriots scoring more. In the previous three weeks, they have continued their improvement, averaging 3.0 sacks and 1.1 turnovers while allowing just 18.0 points and 346.0 yards per game. After scoring just 11 total FanDuel points in those first three games, KC has averaged 9.5 per game in the last six.

The surging Chiefs defense gets to face a Josh Rosen-led Arizona Cardinals offense that has scored more than 18 points just once in his five starts. He has been wildly inefficient, posting a 3.6% interception rate and 55.6% completion rate. His -0.14 Passing Net Expected Points per attempt ranks him dead last out of the 30 quarterbacks to attempt at least 150 passes this season. Overall, the Cardinals are our 31st-ranked offense and have scored just 13.8 points per game this season.

A hot defense squaring off with a struggling offense? It's no wonder the Chiefs sit at the top of our projections for D/ST scoring this week.
