FanDuel Fantasy Football: Building the perfect DFS lineup for Week 1
Defense: Baltimore Ravens, $4,800
Average FanDuel Points Per Week: 11.7
Opponent: Buffalo Bills
The Baltimore Ravens boast an underrated defense made up of plenty of exceptional players and a couple of superstars. As a result, they’re plenty capable of demolishing an incompetent offense.
That’s exactly what they’ll face on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills.
Led by Nathan Peterman, the Bills have the makings of one of the NFL’s worst clubs in 2018. The offense lacks little explosive talent outside of LeSean McCoy, who’s injured and getting up there in age. The best receiver is Kelvin Benjamin, which isn’t saying much at this point in time.
Look for the Ravens to get after Peterman early and often, with players like Terrell Suggs and Matt Judon terrorizing the sophomore gunslinger for much of the game. As a result, Baltimore should rack up a few sacks, a turnover or two and maybe even a touchdown. Let’s just say it’s going to be ugly by the time the fourth quarter rolls around.
