Oakland Raiders

FanDuel Price: $5,300
numberFire Projection: 8.83 FanDuel points

A common theme in selecting defenses for DFS this year will be choosing whichever team is facing the New York Jets. This week, that's the Oakland Raiders, who are the second most expensive D on FanDuel.

Vegas has the homestanding Raiders as a 14-point favorite, tied with the Seahawks for the largest spread of the week. The Jets have an implied team total of just 14.75 points, the second-lowest of the week.

While the Raiders defense was expected to struggle against Marcus Mariota and the Tennessee Titans last week, they actually did decently well. Although they allowed 350 total yards on offense, they held the Titans to just 16 points.

The Raiders didn't force any turnovers and had just one sack, but they should be in line for better production against Josh McCown. Against the Buffalo Bills last week, McCown tossed two picks and took a sack.

With the Raiders expected to play this game with a lead, there should be plenty of opportunity for Khalil Mack and company to rack up sacks and picks.
