3 Under-the-Radar Defenses For Week 8

Here are three under-the-radar defenses poised for a big week at a cheap price tag:

San Diego Chargers

The Chargers defense deserves a lot more credit then they get.

Playing against an offensively challenged Baltimore Ravens team, this matchup is a match made in heaven. The best offense is a good defense in this game, meaning Chargers QB Philip Rivers will out score Ravens QB Joe Flacco, and the Chargers defense will keep the petit RB Justin Forsett in check. A low-owned defense is always good.

New York Giants

Without CB Prince Amukamara, opposing offenses will look to beat the Giants defense through the air, but don't look past CB Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.

Saints QB Drew Brees is one of the best in the business, and has the potential to scorch the Giants at home. But if New York keeps the game close and shutdown Saints WR Brandin Cooks, then the defense could be in for a big day.

Tennessee Titans

Like the aforementioned Giants, the Titans have one big problem to deal with: Houston Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins.

If the Titans defensive back committee can keep Hopkins in check, and force QB Brian Hoyer to turn the ball over, the lackluster Titans defense could record big fantasy numbers against their division rivals in Houston.
