4 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 2

Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $5,400
numberFire Projection: 12.3 FanDuel points

Hosting the offensively-challenged San Francisco 49ers, the Seattle Seahawks are understandably the most expensive defense on the Week 2 slate. Coming off a loss to the Green Bay Packers, this game looks like a prototypical bounce-back spot for the Seahawks on both sides of the ball.

Last week, the 49ers were no match for the Carolina Panthers' defense. The Panthers held the Niners to just three points, they sacked Brian Hoyer four times, registered nine quarterback hits, and forced two turnovers. On the week, the Panthers defense finished as the seventh-best D on FanDuel.

Things won't get any easier for Hoyer and the 49ers this week as they head up to Seattle for a divisional clash. Vegas has listed the Seahawks as a 14-point favorite, tied for the largest spread in Week 2. The 49ers have an implied team total of just 14 points.

Despite taking the loss in Green Bay last week, the Seahawks defense had success against Aaron Rodgers. The Seahawks posted eight quarterback hits (sixth-most on the week), four sacks, and an interception. At home against the Niners, the Seahawks defense has one of the highest ceilings of the week and are worth paying up for, especially in cash games.
