DraftKings NFL Defense Breakdown: Week 17

Don’t overlook the kicker and D/ST positions! There is an edge to be had if you do the research…which is exactly what Mike Sommer has done.

Week 17

There are a ridiculous 11 teams who meet our criteria this week. With so many teams potentially sitting players on both sides of the ball this week, I’m finding it difficult to predict the reliability of season long track records in our point generating stats. The Vegas indicators and price will be the primary factors I use when selecting my DST units this week.

Top Plays

Pittsburgh ($3,900)
Opponent: Cleveland Spread: -13 Opponent Team Total: 13.25

Pittsburgh should be a great option this week. They are favored by almost two touchdowns and are expected to hold the Browns to under 14 points.
