Washington Redskins

One of the more surprising results from Week 1 was the Washington Redskins dismantling the Cardinals in Phoenix, winning by a final of 24-6. The Redskins' defense stymied Sam Bradford in his first start for the Cardinals, forcing two Bradford turnovers and notching two sacks. On the week, the Redskins finished as the seventh-highest scoring defense.

In Week 2, the Redskins will host the Indianapolis Colts, who once again have Andrew Luck under center but continue to trot out a subpar offensive line. Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Colts' offensive line allowed nine hits and two sacks of Luck. The Bengals' defense also forced two turnovers -- one interception and one sack -- en route to a top-10 fantasy finish.

The Redskins are 5.5-point favorites in their home opener and make for a solid streaming option against an offensive line still struggling to protect its quarterback.
