Defense/Special Teams

Lions ($3,000): Frankly, I really don’t think this Lions defense is all that great. However, they created turnovers and showed flashes of high-quality play against the Eagles last week. In Week 6, it’s the Bears coming to town. Though Hoyer and Howard have played well, there are going to be chances to create turnovers and make plays for the Detroit defense. In front of the Ford Field crowd, that’s what I think they ultimately end up doing.

Texans ($2,900): I’ve said before that I think a drop-off is coming for the Texans defense. However, they looked great against a poor and/or depleted offensive line last week. They get that same type of matchup up front this week as they take on the Indianapolis Colts. That Indy offensive line has been getting Andrew Luck mauled all season and it should happen again, which is good news for those looking at a cheap defense.

Ravens ($2,600): This is by far the riskiest defensive play of the much, which their value would indicate. There’s no doubt that the Giants offense has weapons and firepower. Moreover, the Ravens defense is inconsistent most times out. However, I think the G-Men are broken right now and I don’t think that’s going to get fixed against a team like Baltimore.
