3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 13
The Seahawks are in a cushy spot at home against Nick Mullens and the struggling Niners. Which other defenses are worth playing in DFS this week?

Green Bay Packers

FanDuel Price: $4,400
numberFire Projection: 9.9 FanDuel points

Coming off a pair of road losses, where they allowed over 25 points per game, the Green Bay Packers get a soft spot in Week 13 as they return home to take on the anemic Arizona Cardinals' offense.

To say the Cardinals have struggled to put up points is putting it mildly. They average a league-low 14.1 points per game and have scored 18 or more points in just 3 of 11 games played. They own the lowest implied point total of Week 13 as well (15.25).

Part of the offense's struggles lies with rookie quarterback Josh Rosen. The quarterback has struggled to sustain drives, tossing 11 interceptions and taking 24 sacks in his nine games (eight starts) this season. In the last two weeks, Rosen has completed 21-of-39 pass attempts (53.8%) for an average of just 120.5 yards per game. As a whole, Arizona has failed to generate more than 282 total yards of offense in 10 of 11 games while turning the ball over an average of twice per game.

For all their flaws, the one thing the Packers' defense does well is getting after the quarterback. They rank third in the NFL with 36 sacks. It is also worth noting that 10 of the 12 turnovers they have forced this season have come at Lambeau Field.
