For weeks, the Los Angeles Chargers have been a value on FanDuel, priced near the middle of the pack. But that changes this week as the Chargers are the second-most expensive defense on the slate, trailing only the Jaguars.

But the Chargers are worth paying up for this week since they have been on a roll lately and now face one of the most fantasy-friendly teams in the Cleveland Browns. Four of the past five defenses to face the Browns have finished as a top-10 unit, and DeShone Kizer, while showing some promise as a fantasy quarterback, has continued to be a good target for fantasy defenses. Since he was benched in Week 6, Kizer has started the last five games for the Browns, and he has committed at least one turnover in four of those five outings. He's also been sacked multiple times in three of those games.

Kizer could once again be under a lot of pressure as the Chargers are one of the best at getting after the quarterback. They've posted the fourth-most sacks (32) on the season, and they've also forced the fifth-most turnovers (19).

The Chargers are a 13.5-point favorite in this matchup, which is the largest spread on the week. In a game that the Chargers are expected to win going away, Joey Bosa and company should have plenty of opportunities to rack up fantasy points against Kizer.
