NFL
3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 13
The Seahawks are in a cushy spot at home against Nick Mullens and the struggling Niners. Which other defenses are worth playing in DFS this week?

Miami Dolphins

FanDuel Price: $4,100
numberFire Projection: 8.7 FanDuel points

Losers of six of their last eight, the Miami Dolphins are looking for a get-right game and have the perfect opponent in the Buffalo Bills to do so.

Buffalo has had issues finding the end zone as they have scored just 14.6 points per game. In six of their last eight games, the Bills have scored 13 or fewer points. This season, they have scored just 15 offensive touchdowns, the lowest in the NFL. Quarterback Josh Allen may have sparked the team to a 24-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars last week, but overall he has proven to be one of the worst quarterbacks in the league.

In seven games (six starts), Allen has tossed just 3 touchdowns while completing 52.3% of his passes. Both of the marks rank him 34th out of the 34 quarterbacks with at least 150 pass attempts this season. His 35.75% Success Rate has him dead last among those same 34 quarterbacks as well. Allen could be in for a long game as he faces a Miami secondary that has feasted on mistakes.

The Dolphins rank second in the league with 17 interceptions. That has helped them rank as a top-seven fantasy defense with an average of 8.1 FanDuel points per game.
