3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 1

Buffalo Bills

After the Texans, there are a number of intriguing options all set at similar price points. We'll start with the Buffalo Bills, who have one of the juiciest matchups on the slate.

The Bills take on the New York Jets in Week 1, a team likely to find themselves at the bottom of the standings come season's end. Jets quarterback Josh McCown will be throwing to what might be the worst collection of receivers in the league. It's such a dismal group that Jermaine Kearse, acquired in a trade just a week ago, figures to start for the Jets on Sunday.

McCown was in a similar situation with the Cleveland Browns last year, leading a team looking more towards the future than playing to win now. He played in five games for the Browns, during which he committed 10 turnovers (6 interceptions and 4 fumbles) and was sacked 18 times. This year could be all too similar for the journeyman signal caller.

The Bills are listed as a 9.5-point home favorite with the game total set at 40.0. The Jets are projected to score a meager 15,25 points, the lowest total of any team in Week 1. Against McCown and the Jets, the Bills own one of the highest ceilings of any defense this week.
