3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 14

Los Angeles Chargers

FanDuel Price: $4,600
numberFire Projection: 9.7 FanDuel points

The Los Angeles Chargers’ defense has become a reliable DFS play in the last month or so. In four of their last five games, the Bolts have recorded at least 8 FanDuel points with 2 games of 13. This Sunday, they take on a decimated Cincinnati Bengals team that's struggling to produce points.

Over their last four games, the Bengals have averaged just 16.3 points per game. With Andy Dalton done for the year, the offense was a disaster in Week 13 under the direction of backup Jeff Driskel. They managed just 10 points against the Denver Broncos while turning the ball over three times and allowing four sacks. The oddsmakers do not see things going well for Cincy this week either, as they have the Chargers pegged as 14.0-point favorites with the Bengals holding the second-lowest implied total of the week (17.0) and the single-lowest on the main slate.

The Chargers are no strangers to holding opponents down, as they have allowed 19 or fewer points in 6 of their last 8 games. They have Desmond King and their ball-hawking secondary to thank for that as L.A. ranks sixth in the league with an average of 1.0 interceptions per game. And don't overlook the Joey Bosa effect; the young pass rusher has three sacks over the last two games.

While the Chargers carry the third-highest cost of Week 14, they are projected to finish with the most FanDuel points, according to our models.
