4 FanDuel Defenses to Target in Week 5

Pittsburgh Steelers

This is the first time the Pittsburgh Steelers have made this list all season, but when a team is a home favorite hosting Blake Bortles and the Jacksonville Jaguars, they're always in position for a nice game.

Bortles and the Jags haven't been the fantasy target they were a year ago, as only one team has put forth a top-10 performance on FanDuel against them. But in the two games in which the Jaguars lost and Bortles was forced to throw due to negative game script, he struggled. In those games, Bortles totaled 4 turnovers and was sacked 4 times.

This week could be a tough one for Bortles if he's playing from behind, as Vegas projects. The Steelers are a 9-point favorite, the largest spread of the week and Jacksonville has an implied team total of just 17.75, the lowest on the week.

Meanwhile, the Steelers defense has been one of the best at pressuring the quarterback, ranking second in the league in sacks (15). From a fantasy perspective, they've also been wildly productive. They've already posted two top-5 scoring weeks, and they've never finished lower than 13th in any given week.

While there is no clear high-priced option this week, the Steelers are a strong play at home against Bortles.
