FanDuel NFL: Best Lineup for Week 8
By Jon Dove
Defense: Los Angeles Rams
vs. Green Bay Packers, Sunday 4:25pm
FanDuel: $ 4,000
Logic would say that you want to avoid starting a defense that is facing an Aaron Rodgers led team. However, the Green Bay Packers offense has had its share of problems this year. The knee injury he suffered in Week 1 has really slowed Rodgers.
Another issue for the Packers has been the health of their offensive line. This banged up group will have a hard time keeping the talented Los Angeles Rams defensive line in check. Aaron Donald and company should be able to put plenty of pressure on the Packers quarterback.

Backup Option: Washington Redskins
@ New York Giants, Sunday 1:00pm
FanDuel: $4,100
The Washington Redskins defense ranks in the top 10 in both points and yards allowed per game. This is a unit that has been stout against the run while performing better against the pass than most expected.
On the season, they have created 11 takeways and 14 sacks. This week the Redskins face a New York Giants team that has had major problems on offense. Washington should be able to keep the Giants in check and potentially add to their takeways.
Their fanduel price falls in line with their potential which makes them an obvious play.
