Capper Steve 
Before we get into our Week 12 quarterbacks, I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! Family, friends, football, and for some of us, a four-day weekend, let’s all be thankful for these gifts in life! Also, I would like to give a special thanks to everybody at WinDaily. Between the staff and our subscribers, it’s been a pleasure playing DFS this season. Now let’s dive into the Sunday Main and decide on which quarterbacks will hit on the slate. With so many in line to crush their matchups, our QB picks will remind you of Thanksgiving Day dinner…a feast!
Check out our NFL Week 12 DFS Quarterbacks!
Patrick Mahomes ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel)
He’s impossible to fade across any DFS contest at this point, leading the NFL in touchdowns (28) and air yards (3,265). No matter who is on the field at receiver, Mahomes will get them the ball in between the numbers and continue to put points on the scoreboard. The defending champion Rams will be in Arrowhead this weekend, who have pretty much suffered the biggest hangover in Super Bowl history at a dreary 3-7 record. Facing an LA team who appears to have thrown in the towel for 2022, Mahomes will again be the top dog this week in ownership, rightfully so.
Lamar Jackson ($8,000 DraftKings/$8,200 FanDuel)
Lamar is definitely on the hot seat for us in DFS, but we can’t ignore the matchup he has in Jacksonville. The Jaguars have been gouged by mobile quarterbacks during the season, Daniel Jones of the Giants racked up 107 yards in Week 7. Baltimore’s revamped defense should keep Lawrence and the Jags off the field and allow them to do what they do best, run the ball with Lamar Jackson. If he can follow in Jones‘ blueprint of fantasy production from Week 7, Lamar will win back a ton of fantasy managers.
Justin Herbert ($7,000 DraftKings/$7,900 FanDuel)
For a brief moment last week Herbert’s receiving core was back to 100 percent, but even without Mike Williams and Gerald Everett he had a solid day. We’ll take the 20 fantasy points against the Chiefs, but that 50 yard bomb in the endzone to Josh Palmer was pure precision. This week he is way too cheap facing a Marco Wilson-featured secondary, and with Keenan Allen back at 100%, the writing is on the wall for Herbert.
Tua Tagovailoa ($6,900 DraftKings/$8,300 FanDuel)
One of the most weaponized QBs in football that has averaged 27 fantasy points in his last three starts and leading the NFL in passer rating (118.4) is extremely underpriced on DraftKings. Even though Tua is playing a Texan defense that only allows just over 210 air yards per game, the Miami offense has been an enigma to defensive coordinators around the league. We should see plenty of quick outlet passes to Tyreek Hill where he does the most damage at a hefty 14.2 yards per reception.
Joe Burrow ($6,700 DraftKings/$8,600 FanDuel)
Joe “Burrr” pumped ice through his veins in Pittsburgh, throwing for 355 yards and 4 touchdowns in a solid win on the road. Now with his number one target Ja’Marr Chase set to return from IR on Sunday, Burrow will be back at full strength in his arsenal. And since running back Joe Mixon may need to sit out due to a concussion he suffered last week, it’s all the more reason for Burrow to air it out against a Tennessee 30th ranked DVOA to opposing quarterbacks.
Geno Smith ($6,000 DraftKings/$7,600 FanDuel)
Geno and the Seahawks return from a week off only to land in an absolute smash spot against Vegas. We all know by now how bad the Raiders are at defending the pass (30th In DVOA to QBs), but in this matchup it can be even juicier. Vegas lines up in Cover One mostly, a formation in which Geno is at his best and ranked first in efficiency. His low, mid-range price tag is very tempting and a big cap saver for spending up in the other positions of the slate.
