3 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 15
The Bears are the top fantasy defense in the NFL, and they carry a low salary in Week 15. Which other defenses are worth playing this week?

Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Price: $4,200
numberFire Projection: 8.5 FanDuel points

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off one of their more commanding performances of the year as they shutout the Minnesota Vikings for 59 minutes last Monday night. They held the Vikes to just 276 total yards while generating 2 sacks, 1 turnover, and collecting 16 FanDuel points as they re-established themselves as one the NFL's top teams.

This week, they face a familiar foe in the San Francisco 49ers, who they saw just two weeks ago and have beaten 10 times in a row.

Back in Week 13, the ‘Hawks racked up 16 FanDuel points as they picked up 3 sacks and 3 turnovers against the Niners. They held San Francisco to just 16 points, a familiar experience for the offensively struggling 49ers.

In five of their last seven games, including their last three, San Francisco has scored 20 or fewer points. In the last four games with Nick Mullens under center, they have turned the ball over 8 times and allowed 10 sacks. Overall, they are our 26th-ranked offense and carry a 19.8-point implied point total in Week 15, making the Seahawks a solid mid-priced option in DFS.
