Baltimore Ravens

FanDuel Price: $4,700
numberFire Projection: 12.72 FanDuel points

There are a number of strong defensive plays this week, and the Baltimore Ravens just might end up being the best. That could make them a nice value, as they're the eighth-most expensive defense on FanDuel.

One week after crushing Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens are hosting rookie DeShone Kizer and the Cleveland Browns. Vegas has the Ravens projected as an 8.0-point favorite, with the Browns sporting an implied team total of only 15.5 points.

Against the Bengals last week, the Ravens sacked Dalton five times and forced sive turnovers, including four picks. On FanDuel, the Ravens were the third-highest scoring defense.

While Kizer's performance against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1 was generally good, especially considering it was the quarterback's NFL debut, he did take seven sacks and threw an interception. Things won't get any easier in Week 2 for the rookie, as the Ravens ended Week 1 as the top-ranked defense in the league, according to our scheduled-adjusted metrics.

Playing at home against a quarterback making his first road start, the Ravens are a strong play in Week 2.
