NFL
4 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 7

Jacksonville Jaguars

FanDuel Price: $5,400
numberFire Projection: 10 FanDuel points

The Jacksonville Jaguars were a letdown last week in a home matchup against Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams, but they take on an Indianapolis Colts team this week that has been friendly to opposing defenses.

In his five starts this season, Jacoby Brissett has thrown an interception in three and has been sacked multiple times in four. Further, the Colts' offensive line has been in flux, giving up the league's fourth-most quarterback hits (43) and seventh-most sacks (18). That doesn't bode well in a matchup against the Jaguars, who lead the league in sacks (23) and are third in quarterback hits (41).

On the other side, the Jaguars defense has been one of the best in football, ranking first overall per numberFire's schedule-adjusted metrics. Through six games, the Jags have finished as a top-10 defense in FanDuel scoring four times. The Colts, on the other hand, have given up a top-10 performance in three of six games.

The Jaguars are a 3.0-point road favorite in this matchup with the Colts' implied team total sitting at 20.50. The Jaguars are the second-most expensive defense on the slate, but carry a lot of potential if you have the cap space to pay up for them.
