FanDuel NFL 2018: Week 3 lineup
FLEX: Allen Robinson, Chicago Bears- $6,500
Defense: Chicago Bears- $4,300
For the second time in three weeks, my FLEX and Defense are on the same team. The only thing that means is, I love the Bears’ Week 3 matchup.
The Bears travel to the west coast to take on the winless Arizona Cardinals. The Cardinals have yet to give up a touchdown pass this season, but that will come to end on Sunday. Although, Arizona has been able to keep receivers out of the end zone, they have given up 589 passing yards, 27th in the NFL.
Robinson, caught 10 passes for 83 yards in last week’s victory over the Seattle Seahawks. This was only the second time in Robinson’s career that he caught double-digit passes. He is Mitch Trubisky’s number one target and is averaging just over 10 yards per reception, while being targeted 10.5 times per game.
Defensively, the Chicago Bears have been impressive and they will continue to dominate against the Cardinals. Through two games, they have only allowed 646 yards, 8th in the NFL. They lead the league in sacks (10) and forced fumbles (5).

Chicago is definitely benefiting from the addition of Khalil Mack. Mack has already compiled two sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, one interception, and one defensive touchdown.
This unit will be going head to head against a team that has only scored six total points this season, last in the NFL. They have run the fewest plays (9) in the red zone this season,.
Bottom line, the Cardinals won’t be able to move the ball and there is a good possibility that the Bears don’t give up a touchdown.
