Washington Redskins

FanDuel Price: $4,700
numberFire Projection: 10.1 FanDuel points

There is no low-priced option that makes sense as a play this week, but in the middle of the pack, the Washington Redskins stand out as a good option.

Coming off a bye, the Redskins defense has been sneaky good through four games -- they rank as the 3rd-best per numberFire metrics. Washington has been able to pressure the quarterback, owning the league's 7th-best sack rate, and they've forced multiple turnovers in three of four games.

That could mean Brian Hoyer is in for a long day. The 49ers offensive line has given up the 9th-most sacks (15) and 9th-most quarterback hits (32) this season. Hoyer has been sacked multiple times in every game, and he's also turned the ball over at least once in four out of five.

Vegas has the Redskins listed as a 10-point favorite, the 2nd-largest spread of the week. Despite not having Josh Norman due to injury, the 'Skins should still have plenty of opportunity against Hoyer if the game script goes as Vegas projects.
