4 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 15

Philadelphia Eagles

With Carson Wentz out for the year, the Super Bowl hopes for the Philadelphia Eagles may have taken a hit, but the Eagles should be able to keep rolling for the time being in a Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants.

Eli Manning is back under center for the Giants, but his return to the lineup last week didn't give the offense a spark as the Giants' offense posted 10 points and Manning threw two picks against the Dallas Cowboys. On the week, the Cowboys' defense finished as a top-10 scorer.

Now it's the Eagles who will visit the Giants one week after losing Wentz for the remainder of the season. These two teams last played in Week 3, which was so long ago that Odell Beckham was actually on the field for that first game and scored two touchdowns. But as the Giants' season has spiraled downward, they've been a great target for fantasy defenses, allowing the 10th most points to the position for the season.

Since their Week 10 bye, the Eagles have finished as a top-10 defense on FanDuel in three out of four games. Among the league leaders in both sacks (35) and quarterback hits (99), Philly has consistently pressured the quarterback over the last month, notching multiple sacks in each of their past four outing. They've also forced multiple turnovers in three of those games.

The Eagles are a 7.5-point favorite in this matchup, and as a mid-priced option on the slate, they could carry low ownership with some other strong options available at a similar price point.
