4 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 12
Baltimore Ravens
FanDuel Price: $5,000
numberFire Projection: 10.3 FanDuel points
If you're playing in a slate that includes the Monday night game, the Baltimore Ravens are a slightly cheaper option than the Jaguars, but carry just as much upside and reliability.
The Ravens will host Tom Savage and the Houston Texans this week and while the Cardinals were a bit of a letdown against the Texans last week, the Ravens are a better team and have home-field advantage in this matchup.
Per numberFire metrics, the Ravens defense ranks as the league's second-best behind the Jags. The Ravens are also one of the best at pressuring the quarterback, ranking top-10 in both sacks (28) and quarterback hits (67) while also tied for the league league in turnovers forced (23). In terms of fantasy, the Ravens have been a top-5 scoring defense on FanDuel in six out of their ten games.
It's been rough for the Texans since losing Deshaun Watson for the year. In three starts, Savage has thrown for 4 touchdowns, but he's also committed 7 turnovers and has been sacked 6 times. Two of the past three teams to face the Texans have finished as a top-10 option in FanDuel scoring, with Arizona being the only exception.
