Commanders Defense A High-Value Play In NFC Title Game
1 day agoThe Washington Commanders defense is an intriguing value play in DFS competitions this weekend while facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, in their upset victory over the Detroit Lions, they allowed 31 points but were quite opportunistic. They forced three interceptions, one of which was returned for a score, and added two sacks. However, they have another tall task ahead of them in the Philadelphia Eagles. In the two games they faced the Eagles this season, Saquon Barkley has had his way, tallying 148.0 rushing yards per game with four touchdowns. While Barkley will be difficult to contain, quarterback Jalen Hurts has been sacked nine times during the postseason and is entering this game battling a minor knee injury. Even though starting defensive tackle Daron Payne (finger) is questionable, if you want to save salary in your DFS lineup, target the Commanders, as they have a path to another solid showing.
