4 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 14

Pittsburgh Steelers

FanDuel Price: $5,000
numberFire Projection: 8.7 FanDuel points

Listed just $100 cheaper than the Chargers and Patriots, the Pittsburgh Steelers may go slightly under-owned in a Week 14 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens who rank as the 10th worst offense in the league, per numberFire metrics.

This will be the second matchup between these two teams. In Week 4, the Steelers went into Baltimore and won 26-9. It was a rough game for Joe Flacco who took 4 sacks and threw 2 interceptions. In terms of fantasy, the Steelers finished the week as the fifth-highest scoring defense on FanDuel.

But the Steelers have been a productive defense throughout the season, due in part to their ability to pressure the quarterback. The Steelers rank second in sacks (40) and 11th in quarterback hits (76). The Steelers have been so consistent in pressuring the quarterback, they have posted multiple sacks in every game this season. That could mean trouble for Flacco who has been sacked 23 times through 12 games.

Although the Steelers will be without Ryan Shazier following his scary injury in Week 13, oddsmakers still have the Steelers as a 5-point home favorite in this matchup. At home and against their division rival, the Steelers should be able to generate some fantasy success against Flacco.
