3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 5
Tennessee Titans
FanDuel Price: $3,900
numberFire Projection: 8.6 FanDuel points
The way the Buffalo Bills offense is performing this season, they are going to be a weekly target when picking fantasy defenses. This week is no different.
Despite the flashes of potential rookie quarterback Josh Allen has shown at times, the Bills are still awful on offense. Buffalo ranks last or second-to-last in total yards (883), points per game (12.5), sacks allowed (21), and passing touchdowns (2). They have turned the ball over seven times (6 interceptions, 1 fumble) enabling opposing fantasy defenses to score the most FanDuel points per game against them (13.3). Just facing the Bills would make even the worst defenses a possibility in DFS, but with the way the Tennessee Titans have been rolling -- plus their sub-$4,000 cost -- they seem like a sure thing this week.
The Titans are currently a top-five fantasy defense, averaging 9.0 FanDuel points per game. They are getting it done by applying pressure on the quarterback -- through four weeks they are averaging 3.0 sacks and 7.3 QB hits per game, both top-seven marks in the league. Overall, opposing offenses are scoring just 18.3 points per game, sixth-lowest in the NFL.
This week looks to be more of the same as the Bills carry the lowest implied point total of the week (17.75). Couple that all with a low cost and the Titans should be the highest-owned D/ST of Week 5.
