Cincinnati Bengals

FanDuel Price: $4,800
numberFire Projection: 10 FanDuel points

Like the Eagles, the Cincinnati Bengals are a big home favorite in Week 8. They're currently 10.5-point favorites against Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts, the second-largest spread on the week.

The Colts have been a popular target, giving up the most fantasy points to opposing defenses. Using FanDuel scoring, four of the seven teams to face the Colts have finished as a top-seven scoring defense or better.

Indianapolis' offensive line has been struggling all season and no quarterback has been sacked more than Brissett (25). He's taken at least three sacks in five out of his six starts and this past week, the Jacksonville Jaguars sacked him 10 times.

Meanwhile, the Bengals have been able to get after the quarterback, ranking ninth in sacks (18) despite already having their bye week. As a big road underdog, Brissett could find himself under pressure often again in Week 8, making the Bengals one of the week's best defensive plays.
