Week 12 Fanduel DFS Plays of the Week

DraftHustle’s Top DFS Plays of the week for FanDuel

QB

Jayden Daniels – WAS vs Cowboys - $9,000

Jayden Daniels has cooled off from his hot start to the season, only averaging 14.29 FanDuel PPG over the last 3 weeks.  Thankfully he gets the cure-all matchup in week 12 in the form of the Dallas Cowboys defense.  Dallas is the 5th best fantasy matchup for QBs on the season, and they allow QBs to score the 5th most points above their season long average on the season.  They also allow the 5th most rushing yards per game to QBs, which is great for Daniels.  He is my favorite elite QB on the week, and for good reason.

RB

Tyrone Tracy Jr. – NYG vs Buccaneers - $6,700

The New York Giants made a major move coming off of their bye week, demoting and then releasing Daniel Jones.  With Tommy Devito starting at QB and Malik Nabers questionable with a groin injury, my hunch is that the Giants plan to lean on the running game, which bodes well for Tryone Tracy Jr.  He has taken over the lead back role for the Giants, averaging 18 rush attempts per game over their last 3 games.  He faces the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are a plus matchup for RBs on the season.  They lead the league in receiving yards allowed to RBs and give up the 2nd most receptions to RBs.  Expect Tracy to rack up fantasy points in week 12.

WR

A.J. Brown – PHI vs Rams - $8,500

Since returning from injury, A.J. Brown has reclaimed his spot as the top target for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles.  He has averaged 6.5 targets, 5 receptions, and 83 receiving yards in his last 6 games, and with Devonta Smith out in week 12, I expect that to be his floor in a good matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.  The Rams secondary allows WRs to score the 2nd most points above their season average in the league.  They also allow the highest TD% to the WR position, so A.J. Brown has a good chance to end his 4-week TD skid. 

TE

Travis Kelce – KC vs Panthers

Travis Kelce put up a stinker in week 11 after 3 straight weeks scoring at least 16.4 FanDuel points. In week 12, I like his odds to get back on trap against the Carolina Panthers, the best matchup in the league for TEs.  They give up the most FanDuel PPGs to the position and have the 2nd highest TD% allowed to TEs on the year.  The Chiefs suffered their 1st loss of the season last week, and I expect them to take that hurt out on the Panthers, so Kelce is a solid play this week.

D/ST

Chicago Bears – vs Vikings - $3,900

The Chicago Bears are the value D/ST of choice in week 12.  They have been a good defense in football, and it hasn’t translated to FanDuel, but they are the best value on the slate.  They face Minnesota Vikings, led by Sam Darnold who has been a turnover machine recently.  This game has the lowest Vegas Over/Under (39.5 points) on the slate, so not much scoring is expected.  If you are looking to pay down at D/ST this week, Chicago is your best bet.
