FanDuel NFL: Best lineup for Week 3
By Jon Dove
Defense: Philadelphia Eagles
vs. Indianapolis Colts, Sunday 1:00 p.m.
FanDuel Cost: $4,400
After getting torched by Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Philadelphia Eagles defense will be out to right the ship. The Indianapolis Colts can’t come close to matching the Tampa Bay Buccaneers collection of weapons.
Look for the Philadelphia’s pass rush to overwhelm the Colts offensive line. They have so much depth that they are able to continuously rotate fresh bodies on the field.
Their pass rush will force Andrew Luck to force some throws. He already has three interceptions on the young season. Luck doesn’t look completely comfortable yet and is still trying to find a rhythm with his new cast of weapons.

Backup Option: Houston Texans
vs. New York Giants, Sunday 1:00 p.m.
FanDuel Cost: $4,400
The New York Giants offensive line has been a complete mess so far. Their inability to pickup blitzes cost them a chance at a win against the Dallas Cowboys. These problems are across the board with no helping coming.
It’s going to be a long day against a Houston Texans defense that features J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney and Whitney Mercilus.
Houston’s pass rush is more effective and efficient than what the Giants faced Sunday night against the Cowboys. They should be able to put up some solid fantasy numbers with the pressure they put on Eli Manning.
