NFL DFS Week 6 Defense Picks

Baltimore Ravens: Soaring to Dominate the Commanders

Price: FanDuel $4,200 | DraftKings $3,000

The Ravens defense is no stranger to the spotlight, and this week they get a favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Commanders are stumbling, and the Ravens are circling like sharks smelling blood. You’ve got a defense that’s capable of capitalizing on turnovers, and they’re going to get them. Baltimore is heavy favorites, and when a defense is sitting on a two-touchdown cushion, the pass rushers get aggressive.

Deep Dive Data: The Ravens are ranked 3rd in the league in sacks with 28, and Washington’s offensive line has allowed a league-high 40 sacks. When you match up a powerful pass rush with a weak O-line, the math speaks for itself. Expect the Ravens to apply constant pressure, and with Washington’s erratic play at quarterback, turnovers are almost inevitable.

Philadelphia Eagles: Cleveland’s Nightmare

Price: FanDuel $4,800| DraftKings $3,400

It’s simple math, really. You take the Browns’ struggling offense, mix it with a rainy forecast, and sprinkle in one of the most ferocious defensive lines in the league. What do you get? A disaster for Cleveland. Deshaun Watson is still trying to figure things out, and that’s not going to happen against the Eagles defense. The over/under is low, and the Eagles are almost double-digit favorites. That means Watson will be throwing more than he’d like, and Philly’s secondary is going to feast.

Deep Dive Data: The Eagles are ranked 2nd in the league in pressures (34) and QB hurries (20). Watson has been sacked 31 times this season, and the Browns rank in the bottom third for offensive efficiency. The Eagles also excel at creating turnovers, forcing 14 interceptions on the season—2nd best in the league. In games where they’re favored by 7 or more points, they’ve averaged 12+ DFS points per game.

New England Patriots: Stroud in Trouble

Price: FanDuel $3,200| DraftKings $2,400

DFS isn’t always about picking the biggest names. Sometimes, it’s about picking the matchup that screams trouble for the other side. Enter the New England Patriots. C.J. Stroud, the Texans’ rookie quarterback, has shown flashes, but he’s stepping into Jerod Mayo’s chessboard now. This is the kind of game where a veteran defense like the Patriots can create a nightmare for a young quarterback.

Deep Dive Data: While New England has always been notorious for confusing rookie quarterbacks, Stroud is averaging 1.5 turnovers per game against top-15 defenses, and New England’s defense ranks 7th in takeaways. With Stroud likely to face exotic blitzes and pressure, New England’s defense could produce multiple sacks and at least one interception, which would make them an excellent value at their current price

NFL DFS Week 6 Defense Picks

The Titans: Quiet but Deadly

Price: FanDuel $4,300 | DraftKings $2,800

The Tennessee Titans aren’t flashy, but in DFS, they don’t have to be. Anthony Richardson is a young, athletic quarterback, but his Colts’ offense is still prone to mistakes. Tennessee’s defense has the ability to exploit that. This isn’t the high-profile pick, but it’s the smart one.

Deep Dive Data: The Titans have quietly posted the 5th-best run defense in the league, allowing just 82 rushing yards per game. They are a low-cost, high-floor defense due to their consistency at stopping the run. Richardson, for all his talents, has thrown 7 interceptions this season, including 3 when under pressure, and the Titans rank 10th in pressures. If Tennessee can force the Colts into obvious passing downs, they’ll be primed to capitalize on turnovers.

Green Bay Packers: Let It Rain

Price: FanDuel $4,500| DraftKings $3,100

Rainy days are great for defense. It’s like Mother Nature is playing alongside you. And when the Arizona Cardinals roll into Green Bay in wet conditions, it’s a perfect storm for the Packers defense. Kyler Murray might be elusive, but in the rain, footing gets tricky, and turnovers become easier to come by.

Deep Dive Data: Kyler Murray has struggled in inclement weather, with a passer rating that drops by 15 points and his interception rate climbing to 3.5% in rain-soaked games. Meanwhile, Green Bay’s defense has performed better at home, averaging 9.7 fantasy points per game in their last three rain-affected matchups. Combine that with Arizona’s 29th-ranked offense in terms of turnovers, and you’ve got a recipe for defensive success.

The Playbook for Success

The big mistake most DFS players make? They spend all their time and salary on flashy offensive players and forget that defenses are where the true value can lie. A good defense can turn a middling lineup into a tournament winner. So as you fill out your DFS rosters this week, keep these defenses in mind. Whether you’re playing on FanDuel or DraftKings, there’s value to be found, and smart players will seize it.

So go ahead, let everyone else chase the high-priced stars. You’ll be sitting pretty when your defense puts up big numbers and carries you to victory.

In DFS, as in life, sometimes the best offense really is a great defense.
