3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 11

Los Angeles Chargers

FanDuel Price: $4,600
numberFire Projection: 8.5 FanDuel points

The Los Angeles Chargers' defense has been on a roll lately. In their last five games, they have held their opponents to 19 or fewer points in each game. In the last two weeks, they have tightened up even more. Against both the Seattle Seahawks and Oakland Raiders, they registered 4 sacks while giving up an average of 11.5 points per game. The Chargers finished with 13 FanDuel points in back-to-back games, leaving them as a top-five unit each week. This Sunday, they are primed to make another top-five fantasy finish as they face the offensively anemic Denver Broncos.

In seven of nine games this season, the Broncos have scored 23 or fewer points. Eliminate their 45-point outburst in Week 7, buoyed by two defensive scores, and Denver is averaging just 20.0 points per game. While the rushing attack has been solid this season --126.7 yards per game -- Case Keenum and the passing game has struggled.

Keenum’s 10 interceptions thrown is the second-most of the 31 quarterbacks with at least 150 pass attempts. The Bronco’s quarterback is not providing much scoring punch, either, ranking 26th out of the previously mentioned 31 QBs with a 3.3% touchdown percentage, and he's been sacked an average of 2.7 times per game -- all positives in the Chargers’ favor this Sunday.
