NFL DFS

Last week was a fun one, let’s move on to Week 12! We are now almost officially two thirds of the way through the NFL season, so let’s keep it rolling! There are some key options back on the main slate this week, and I’m looking to take advantage. Time to cash in on some key options!

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 12 on FanDuel and DraftKings! Let’s continue to finish strong this season!

Travis Kelce, Chiefs ($7,700 DraftKings, $8,200 FanDuel)

I just got done having a few conversations about how Kelce isn’t close to Rob Gronkowski all-time. For this week, this season, and these teams, that doesn’t matter at all. He is clearly the top TE in the NFL right now, and is coming off of a MONSTER 6-155-3 line against the Chargers.

This week he faces off against a Rams team that is just a complete mess. They sold their future for a Super Bowl run last year, and the zebras made sure they closed the deal. Now all of a sudden, they barely even have a present. Sitting at 3-7 and their playoff hopes sitting as high as your odds to win the Mega Millions…this season is a wrap.

Kelce is elite in every way, and Kansas City will need to rely on him once again as they continue their run toward the #1 seed and a bye in the AFC Playoffs.

George Kittle, 49ers ($5,300 DraftKings, $6,300 FanDuel)

Coming off his best game of the season and inexplicably sitting behind Taysom freaking Hill in salary on FanDuel, Kittle is ready to explode. He now has four touchdowns in his last three games. The Saints have been tough against opposing TE this season. With the playoff picture rounding into form, I’m focusing on elite options with a lot to play for this season.

Kittle had a slow start to the season due to injury, but Jimmy Garoppolo is back to relying on his top target. This offense is absolutely loaded with talent now, and Jimmy G may be the least talented of the bunch. That matter little here, as Kittle remains an elite option in any matchup.

Gerald Everett, Chargers ($4,400 DraftKings, $5,200 FanDuel)

Please join me in welcoming Gerald Everett to the dream matchup that is the Arizona Cardinals defense. I’m sure you’re tired of hearing this by now, but I’m not here to worry about that. Your weekly update is that Arizona is now allowing just over 21 fantasy points per game to opposing Tight Ends.

Everett hasn’t found the end zone since Week 4, but I’m banking on that changing this week. He has seen 7+ targets in four of the last five weeks, and should be heavily involved again this week.

His salary is reasonable and this game has the highest total of the main slate. With the Chargers’ issues among their WR health, Everett should be utilized as a weapon in an elite matchup.

Mark Andrews, Ravens ($6,500 DraftKings, $7,300 FanDuel)

I’ve been talking all year about great matchups for TE, and this one is a smash spot. The Jags have had a tough time against TE of late, and Andrews is still the top option in a sputtering Ravens offense.

Due to injury and inconsistency by the offense, Andrews hasn’t totaled more than 12.3 DraftKings points since Week 6. Any takers on the under this week? Not me. His return last week was solid with a 6-63 line despite the offense being incapable of moving the ball against the PANTHERS.

This offense may be a complete trainwreck, but Andrews remains an elite option. Expect Lamar Jackson to rely heavily on him in this one as the Ravens continue their trek toward the playoffs.

Foster Moreau, Raiders ($3,400 DraftKings, $5,400 FanDuel)

Welcome to yet another edition of picking on the Seattle Seahawks. This one is about that (Seattle has allowed over 19 PPG to the position this season. It is also about the fact that the Raiders have been a disaster on offense aside from Josh Jacobs and Davante Adams.

No team in the NFL has been a bigger disappointment than the 3-7 Raiders, but it seems evident that they will fight until the end. Darren Waller is on the IL and Moreau is the guy now by default. I don’t love his upside, but he is a solid floor play in this matchup. The Raiders need a true miracle to find their way into the postseason again in 2022. Moreau and company will need to find a way to even keep that dream alive into Week 13.

Come find me on Twitter and let’s chat some football! Good luck in Week 7, and let’s meet at the top of the leaderboards!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and welcome to one of my favorite DFS days of the year. With just 3 games on the slate, excitement rises and falls so quickly. It makes for great entertainment as you gather with family and friends.

Please be sure to check out Stix’s projections each week when evaluating NFL DFS using the NFL Projection Model. It’s the best predictive tool on the market and will give you a competitive advantage against the competition! Also don’t forget to check out our NFL DraftCast we did earlier this week here at WinDaily, which breaks down our favorite plays on the entire slate.

Different than the normal report, I’m giving out my Core (Main Dish) RBs, Value (Appetizing) RBs, and Tempting (Dessert) RBs

CORE (Main Dish) DFS RUNNING BACKS

TONY POLLARD $6600 DraftKings

Everyone sees it as it’s clear as day. Tony Pollard is a better football player than Zeke Elliott. But in typical Cowboys stubbornness, they continue to teot out the crop top more than they should. Good news from last week is that Pollard outsnapped Zeke 2 to 1. With it being a short week and Elliott still “rounding” into shape, I expect the same today. Which makes this a great spot for the speedster from Texas Tech. The Giants have the worst rush defense on the card today (28th DVOA and 25th in rushing yards allowed per game). Pollard is the guy today….don’t let me down Mike McCarthy.

RHAMONDRE STEVENSON $6400 DraftKings

We have some good correlation from last week as Tony Pollard, our 1st RB on the board today, just faced the Vikings who are the Patriots opponent tonight. And we all recall Pollard’s huge game against Minnesota which resulted in 38.9 DK points.

We’re not expecting or predicting the same game from Rhamondre Stevenson tonight but I am excited about this matchup. Stevenson saw 78% of the snap count last week and received 22% of Mac Jones targets. In fact, he’s averaged just over 4 catches a game which adds value to his predicted performance. Add in the fact the Vikings allow the 9th most fantasy points to RBs and we have a really good game environment for the Pat’s RB to feast on Turkey Day.

VALUE (Appetizers) DFS RUNNING BACKS

DE’ANDRE SWIFT $5600 DraftKings

If the game script goes as expected, Swift will be heavily involved in the passing game as Detroit tries to scramble back into the game against the Bills today. His snap count is somewhat concerning but it’s clear the Lions are only using him in obvious passing downs and mixing in a carry to spell the other backs. But again, this could be a good spot if the Lions get down early.

DEVIN SINGLETARY $5700 DraftKings

The Bills RB popped for his best rushing game of the season last week against the Browns as he posted 86 yards on 18 carries. He’s been a steady force for the Bills putting up an average of 12.2 DK points per game. The Lions have the 27th ranked rushing defense according to DVOA. So there will be opportunities here and Singletary will produce. The question is will he outperform our top 2. There’s definitely a chance but he’s my 3rd rated RB today with the potential to break the slate.

TEMPTING (Dessert) DFS RUNNING BACKS

DALVIN COOK $7400 DraftKings

The Patriots have fixed their rushing defense in the past few weeks and moved up to 12th in rush defense DVOA. But that’s primarily because they’ve faced Zach Wilson (twice) and Sam Ehlinger in the past 3 weeks. You have to go back to week 4 to find the last time they faced a quality QB in Aaron Rodgers. And they allowed 199 yards rushing in that game. Bellichick will try to take JJ out of the game which will open up holes for Cook. Don’t sleep on Dalvin this week. Stay up for the dessert and get some shares of the Vikings RB.

SAQUON BARKLEY $8000 DraftKings

This price point is too huge for me in lineups where I get Bills/Lions heavy. But in scripts where I go light on the early game, I will find ways to roster the Giants RB. He posted 126 total yards in the first matchup between the teams this year. And he has a 5.1 career yards per carry against the Boys. The GMen won’t let the Cowboys pash rush dominate like they did in Minnesota and he’ll try to do what Green Bay did who ran 65% of the time for 207 yards against Dallas just 2 weeks ago.

BONUS PICKS

My bonus pick this week is JAMAL WILLIAMS ($5900 DK). This is a tough spot as the Bills rank in the top 5 in most defensive categories. But Williams is always in play necause of his touchdown potential. He leads the NFL with 12 rushing TDs this year and could punch 1-2 in today to help propel him to the top of the RB list. My gut says he won’t but I’ll play him lightly on some of my Lions stacks.

RB PROP BETS

DALVIN COOK over 71.5 yards rushing (-120)

RHAMONDRE STEVENSON over 58.5 yards rushing

Happy Thanksgiving to all! On behalf of Win Daily, I just want to thank you all for the support, week-in and week-out. Let’s get right to it and enjoy a three game, Thanksgiving NFL DFS slate! As always, we can focus more on lineup construction in Discord. The purpose of this article is to identify my top plays for the NFL DFS DraftKings and FanDuel Thanksgiving Day Main Slate (strictly tournament plays for this article). Good luck this week!

NFL DFS Quarterbacks

  • Josh Allen ($8,000 DK / $9,500 FD) – Clearly the top quarterback on the slate by a wide-margin. The Bills have a 32-point implied team total… the next closest team is the Cowboys with a 27-point implied team total. The Lions defense is a mess and will be without Jeff Okudah, so we know the passing upside is there (the elbow injury still concerns me, Josh Allen hasn’t looked right) and the Lions’ tendency to play a lot of man-coverage should give Allen a significant rushing floor no one else has on this slate. He is the only pay-up option, but likely worth it. Only downside(s) here is the elbow injury and the projected blowout gamescript as the Bills are a 10-point favorite.
  • Dak Prescott ($6,200 DK / $8,000 FD) – Dak Prescott grades out as the AETY Model’s number one value at the quarterback position and for good reason. The New York Giants’ defense is arguably in worse shape than the Lions, as they’re riddled with injuries and will be without their top-two cover-cornerbacks in Adoree Jackson and Fabian Moreau. The value on both DraftKings and FanDuel in NFL DFS lineups is significant as I really like my overall builds with Prescott over those lineups with Josh Allen. Like Allen, there is a real threat this game gets completely out of hand (like we saw last week) and Prescott and this passing attack are eased out of the game.

*Note: I will not be playing any other quarterback on this slate. Maybe Mac Jones or Jared Goff in MME, but I am taking a firm stand on the top-two options on this three game slate. I will NOT be getting cute with pay-downs and would advise you to do the same.

NFL DFS Running Backs

  • Rhamondre Stevenson ($6,400 DK / $7,200 FD) – On DraftKings, Rhamondre Stevenson will be my first click at the running back position. The pass catching floor is second-to-no running back on this slate… that is too valuable to pass up. The Vikings’ defense is likely to be the highest owned and I’ll use the leverage Stevenson provides and completely fade that Minnesota defense spot. I’ll just pair Stevenson with the Patriots’ defense.

    For those worried about Damien Harris, Stevenson still had a 78% snap share last week. The Patriots’ running back job is Stevenson’s to lose and we’ll continue to see a lot of routes ran as the Vikings’ run a ton of Cover-3 and Cover-4 zone defense (advantage Stevenson).
  • Devin Singletary ($5,700 DK / $6,900 FD) – Playing into the narrative of the Bills blowing out the Lions and leaving Devin Singletary and James Cook with a solid workload. At their prices, they’re fine plays on this three game slate. More importantly, Devin Singletary has seen his red-zone rushing attempt usage absolutely skyrocket to six red-zone rushing attempts per game since Allen hurt his elbow in Week 10 against the Jets (1.16 red-zone rushing attempts per game prior to the injury).

The Other Running Backs

  • Saquon Barkley: a hefty price, but the most talented running back on the slate.
  • Dalvin Cook: would prefer him over Barkley, but I can’t really afford Dalvin in my single entry builds and don’t really think he’s worth it with top run-blocker, Christian Darrisaw OUT with a concussion.
  • Tony Pollard: He’s on fire and affordable. I 100% get it if you want to keep riding him, but Ezekiel Elliott taking goal-line snaps leaves me with a headache and reliant on Pollard big plays to hit value.
  • Jamaal Williams: Extremely touchdown reliant and can get scripted out of this game in a hurry.
  • D’Andre Swift: Justin Jackson is out-snapping him recently… WTF? If there’s any game to get Swift heavily utilized in the passing game, it’s this one.
  • Damien Harris: You’re praying for a touchdown if you roster him.
  • James Cook: Fine play at the price if you think Buffalo runs away with this one. We should see plenty of usage for the rookie coming on late!

NFL DFS Wide Receivers

  • Stefon Diggs ($8,000 DK / $9,300 FD) – My clear-cut, top wide receiver on this slate. No Jeff Okudah should lead to a very active first half for Stefon Diggs as no one can contain him on this Detroit secondary. Let’s hope Detroit can keep it close enough to where Diggs is active for four quarters!
  • CeeDee Lamb ($7,100 DK / $7,900 FD) – Excellent comeback spot for CeeDee Lamb at home against Giants’ slot corner Darnay Holmes (the only healthy corner for the Giants… and he’s bad). Same situation as Diggs in regards to blowout potential.
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown ($6,600 DK / $7,600 FD) – Great price on DraftKings for the most targeted wide receiver on the slate. As mentioned, it’s likely the Bills run away with this game leaving St. Brown in a favorable, pass-heavy gamescript.
  • Gabe Davis ($5,300 DK / $7,200 FD) – Way too cheap on DraftKings in the same sexy matchup as Stefon Diggs. Although the AETY Model loves the coverage scheme for Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis should have a field day when the Lions line up in Cover-3 zone defense.
  • Michael Gallup ($4,900 DK / $5,700 FD) – Michael Gallup is probably the highest-upside NFL DFS GPP wide receiver on this slate in terms of price and ownership. With Fabian Moreau and Adoree Jackson OUT, Gallup is going to have plenty of opportunities against the Giants’ Cover-1 man defense. I absolutely love his receiving prop over 38.5 yards receiving yards and will sprinkle a bit on an Anytime Touchdown at +235.

The Other Wide Receivers:

  • Justin Jefferson – The Patriots have done a fantastic job limiting the damage to opposing top wideouts. That shouldn’t be news to anyone as that’s usually been Belichick’s main objective, but the talent of Justin Jefferson is hard to ignore, especially after a stinker last week in Dallas. I’m taking the stand on Stefon Diggs this week, but 100% understand if you want Jefferson as he’s one of the only top receivers on this slate without blowout gamescript potential.
  • Jakobi Meyers – A cheap WR1 who should exceed expectations against the Vikings’ Cover-3 zone defense and blitz packages. Nothing sexy here, but on a three game slate, not everything will be.
  • Adam Thielen – Should be in a great spot against the Patriots’ man-coverage and heavy focus on Justin Jefferson, but Thielen leaves much to be desired since Hockenson joined the team. He’s worth the dice-roll on a few lineups, I suppose.
  • Kalif Raymond – He’s going to be a chalky option as he’s cheap exposure to a positive gamescript (assuming Buffalo gets ahead early). You guys can have a chalk Kalif Raymond, I’m out! Same thing can be said for Darius Slayton.
  • Richie James Jr. – Probably the only “punt-play” I somewhat can appreciate. The slot receiver in the Giants’ offense has excelled against Cover-1, Cover-2, and blitz heavy defenses (what the Cowboys will do). As long as he’s healthy, he’s probably my favorite pay-down punt now that Wan’Dale Robinson’s season is over.

**Note: I will likely not be punting at the wide receiver position. I am taking a firm stand on playing top-tier wide receiver options on this three game slate. I will NOT be getting cute with pay-downs as it looks like the field will 100% be rostering a punt-wide receiver or two. You can get a strong advantage (on-paper) by simply not doing that. The cards will unfold how they unfold and maybe a punt-play wideout is the optimal route, but I will not be doing so.

NFL DFS Tight-Ends

  • TJ Hockenson ($5,000 DK / $6,300 FD) – The top option at the tight-end position by a wide margin. With all of the coverage likely to be focused on Jefferson, Hockenson (and Thielen) should be in for a nice output. The Patriots will blitz a good amount and the injury to Darrisaw should make Cousins rely on his lower ADOT pass-catchers.
  • Dalton Schultz ($3,800 DK / $5,800 FD) – Damn-near lock-button play for me at that price on DraftKings. I look at Schultz as a mid-tier WR2 on most slates… now this is a three-game slate… you do the math. If you equate the Vegas player props at respectable sportsbooks, he grades out as the third overall value on this slate. The AETY Model has him as the number one overall value on this slate.
  • Dawson Knox ($3,500 DK / $5,500 FD) – Solid cheap option though I prefer Schultz on both sites. The coverage scheme for Detroit seems to push up Stefon Diggs, Gabe Davis, and Devin Singletary in the AETY Model, but Knox is a fine option.
  • Hunter Henry ($3,100 DK / $4,900 FD) – I hate this spot, but my builds seem to call for someone in this price-range and I already made my statement on punt wide receivers. Minnesota’s zone defense does give the AETY Model reason to believe this is a solid spot for the Patriots’ tight-end (it may very well be Jonnu Smith… that’s why I hate the spot). Henry still has a significant advantage in terms of snap-counts and routes ran per game, but Jonnu Smith can certainly be the guy who scores a touchdown. That is what we’re hoping for down here in the dumpster… a touchdown.

NFL DFS Defense / Special Teams

  • New England Patriots – Christian Darrisaw being out is going to be a problem for the Vikings. Matthew Judon should have a field day.
  • Dallas Cowboys – This defense is on another planet right now and the matchup is lovely against the Giants.
  • Buffalo Bills – Likely very low-owned against Jared Goff…

NFL DFS GPP Core (DraftKings)

Unfortunately, we will not be doing a Thanksgiving livestream as most of us will be spending time with our families and likely have too many beers early and often, lol! Here’s my NFL DFS GPP core for the Thanksgiving slate:

  • Rhamondre Stevenson
  • Stefon Diggs
  • Amon-Ra St. Brown
  • CeeDee Lamb

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)

JoeBurrr” 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.

If you’re sick of seeing the Chargers and Chiefs in showdown slates, you’re just going to have to get over it. These two playoff contenders are facing off yet again, and the first matchup was a blast. The Chargers did what they do and blew a late lead. They led 17-7 in the 3rd quarter before serving up 20 straight points to Patrick Mahomes and company. There may or may not have been some controversial calls, but it’s the NFL. What do you expect? Let’s find ways to take down a big one on this Sunday Night Football showdown slate!

DraftKings and FanDuel each have a slightly different setup for Showdown slates, with DraftKings using a “Captain” spot. Captain earns you 1.5X points, BUT also costs you 1.5X in salary. FanDuel uses an “MVP”, which is ALSO 1.5X points, but salaries are the same, regardless of position. DraftKings uses 5 FLEX spots, and FanDuel uses 4 “AnyFLEX” spots to fill out your roster.

Captain/MVP Plays

Justin Herbert, Chargers ($15,600 DraftKings, $14,000 FanDuel)

Wildly enough, Herbert is the 4th-most expensive player on both sites for the showdown slate. Taking nothing away from the likes of Austin Ekeler, Patrick Mahomes, and Travis Kelce, but this is a great spot.

Kansas City is 28th in the NFL, allowing nearly 40 fantasy points per game to opposing WR. Herbert may be getting Keenan Allen AND Mike Williams back for this one. If both are out again, Herbert takes a bump down.If all all systems are “GO” on both WR, Herbert has a huge ceiling here.

In the Week 2 matchup, Herbert threw for 334 yards and a trio of scores with one interception. Allen also sat that one out. Kansas City is a healthy 5.5-point favorite on the road here, so game script will likely dictate a high volume of passes once again. The Chargers have thrown the ball on a whopping 71% of plays over the last three weeks, easily the highest mark in the NFL. You all know what this kid can do. I’m prioritizing him here, especially if he gets one or both of his weapons back.

Kadarius Toney, Chiefs ($12,000 DraftKings, ($8,500 FanDuel)

Can you imagine what the ownership would be on Toney if this game were on the main slate? JuJu Smith-Schuster is OUT. Mecole Hardman is OUT. Toney had six touches last week, turning his opportunities into 90 yards and a score. He’s going to be wildly popular here, and for good reason. I can’t fathom a fade here, and he will be in 100% of my lineups. I don’t see this as the spot to get different on this slate.

Marques Valdes-Scantling, Chiefs ($8,100 DraftKings, $7,500 FanDuel)

One swerve I like here off a popular Toney is MVS. Like I said, I’ll still be rostering Toney, but putting MVS in the bonus spot opens up a world of opportunities. He played on 84% of the offensive snaps last week, and KC didn’t need a whole lot out of their wideouts. That may not be the case this week. The total of 51.5 points is easily the highest on the slate…and is the ONLY one on this slate.

Last week we saw a rare occurrence for Kansas City. They threw the ball on only 56% of their offensive plays. They saw a matchup they liked, and they exploited it (more on that in a bit). I don’t see the team prioritizing the run here, even in a prime matchup. I expect the Chargers to put up points, and MVS will undoubtedly see some looks down the field at a bargain bin price.

FLEX/AnyFLEX Plays

Mike Williams and Keenan Allen, Chargers

There is a lot up in the air about this one, mainly with these two key players for the Charger offense. Continue to monitor this situation, but let’s assume that both play. If that’s the case, I want Williams here. With Allen still dealing with a hamstring injury, that’s a road I won’t be traveling on much. Williams also carries a much higher ceiling. If just Allen plays, he is a fine option, but I see him more as a cash game guy than a GPP-winner. The risk is real with aging WR and hamstring injuries.

Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs ($11,400 DraftKings, $17,000 FanDuel)

Some may say Mahomes is the best ever. Log in to Twitter (while you still can) for any amount of time, and Mahomes will be compared to every QB in the history of the game. One thing we do know is that Mahomes is magic. There are things this guy makes look so effortless that you almost take it for granted.

Enough about what he HAS done, let’s talk about what he WILL do. A win here likely makes the AFC West a forgone conclusion for Kansas City. That would leave the Chiefs at 8-2 and the Chargers at 5-5, essentially four games back when you factor in the tiebreaker. Please believe we will get the best that Mahomes has to offer.

That said, I think this is a prime spot for the Chargers to compete. Mahomes will get his fantasy points like he always does, but if the Chargers come into this one with healthier offensive weapons…watch out. Mahomes has a ceiling that is second to none over the course of a season. Call me crazy, but I like Herbert’s ceiling here juuuuust a bit more.

Isiah Pacheco, Chiefs ($6,800 DraftKings, $9,000 FanDuel)

I know what you’re thinking. I just got finished telling you that I think last week’s run-heavy approach was an aberration. That can remain true while Pacheco hits value. If for some crazy reason you are unaware, this Charger run defense is a travesty. They have allowed nearly 1500 total yards (rushing and receiving) and 13 touchdowns to opposing backs this season.

Pacheco has been efficient when given volume, but is almost non-existent in the passing game. He is another player that doesn’t have huge upside, but will likely see double-digit touches. If he finds the end zone, he could pay off nicely here.

Other Options

Jerick McKinnon is the complete opposite of Pacheco. He has 12 catches on 16 targets over the last two weeks, and has totaled just over 100 yards over that span. He may once again be heavily involved, especially with the Chiefs’ injury issues at WR.

I’ll never talk you out of playing Travis Kelce, and he is among the best plays on the slate. He didn’t do much against this team in Week 2 (10.1 DraftKings points, lowest of the season), but that matters little. He caught 17 of 24 targets for 195 yards and a pair of scores against them last season. Kelce has unmatched upside among the skill players.

Gerald Everett is in a good spot here. The Chiefs are 25th in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing TE over the last month. He went for 6-71 on 10 targets in the first meeting. He could have had a touchdown too (it went the other way), but we will leave that one alone…

Cameron “Dicker the Kicker” Dicker is still perfect on FG attempts this season. We won’t see a more fun matchup of kicker names than him against Harrison “ButtKicker” Butker. Both are very solid plays here.

Looking into the value bin, I see a few options I like. Noah Gray has 5-75-1 over his last two games and is dirt cheap.

My favorite cheap play that I’m REALLY hoping goes unnoticed is Justin Watson. He is just $1,400 on DraftKings, and played on 73% of the offensive snaps last week. He has eight targets over the last three weeks. Insert the “interested eyes” emoji here. LOOK!

Taking a flier on Skyy Moore seems like a waste, but he is just $600 on DraftKings. He played just 24% of the snaps last week despite the injuries. He won’t be on the field much, but he SHOULD be involved? I’m not forcing him in anywhere, but he’s a low-risk option at that salary if you want to jam in some studs.

Austin Ekeler always has slate-breaking upside. He has been very inefficient as a runner, posting more than 4 YPC only twice this season (Browns and Texans…duh). He has 12+ targets in three of his last four, but I’d expect that number to drop if Williams and Allen return here.

Welcome to week 11 ladies and gentlemen, and get excited, because its a difficult week to build. When we have weeks like this, we absolutely smash. If you don’t know how I typically play the game, I generally like to build my lineups based on ownership. Bear in mind there will be times when we don’t have a clear picture of what that looks like until game day. With that being said, I do like to wait and see what the field is doing so this article may be a little on the later side than the standard. This way we can stay with the pack, in cash games, and pivot to those high-upside players in GPP-style contests. Don’t forget to look at the bottom of this article for other players I really like as well. Once you’re done scanning this article make sure to hop in our Discord chat to stay up to date with lineup discussions.

Let’s dive into NFL DFS Wide Receivers for this week’s main slate.

TERRY McLAURIN, WAS $5,900 DRAFTKINGS $7,300 FANDUEL

Terry McLaurin has averaged 16 FPG, and has averaged, 8.5 targets per game. Get this, he also averages around 117 air yards per game since Heinicke took over the starting QB job over Carson Wentz. Terry McLaurin has averaged 33% target share in each of Taylor Heinicke’s four starts. When Wentz was the QB McLaurin posted no greater than a 21% target share in any game. So the connection here between the two seems to be on point, and I expect a big week out of Scary Terry this week.

AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DET $7,200 DRAFTKINGS $7,800 FANDUEL

So last week he came through from a target and reception standpoint, but he couldn’t find the endzone. This week he won’t have that problem, and like I said last week, he’s finally at full strength and when that’s the case, typically we see a big game. When he’s been healthy, he’s had over 10 targets in those games, and averaging 23 FPG. Ownership is spread out nicely this week, so he’s a great play in tournaments.

PARRIS CAMPBELL, IND $4,300 DRAFTKINGS $5,800 FANDUEL

Over his last three games with Matt Ryan under center, Campbell averages 10 targets which put him at WR 9 and when he had 20 FPG he was WR6!!!!! Now those numbers seem too good to be true, and they kind of are, because they’ve played some really bad teams. But let’s face Campbell has another solid matchup this week, and Philly is a bit of a slot funnel defense. A whopping 31% of the targets they’ve allowed have gone to slot WRs (4th-most) – and now their starting slot CB Avonte Maddox was placed on IR. Consider this as a value lock for your builds this week.

NICO COLLINS, HOU $4,100 DRAFTKINGS $5,900 FANDUEL

Collins has earned more receiving yards than Brandin Cooks in five of his seven games this season. While Cooks appears to still be the team’s Number 1 receiver, Collins is certainly competing for that title, at least based on production. Last week, Collins quietly ranked in the top-12 among all WRs in targets (10) and XFP (17.5). Over his last three healthy games, he averages 12 FPG and 65 YPG. Collins was pushing close to a 30% target share on average, and this week, the Texans play a Washington defense that ranks 5th-worst in yards and Fantasy points allowed to opposing outside WRs. Collins is an obvious value and a cash game lock priced at $4,100 on DraftKings this week. This is robbery!!

GABRIEL DAVIS, BUF $6,300 DRAFTKINGS $7,100 FANDUEL

You know he’s a boom or bust guy, but it just feels right this week. Here is your pivot off of some chalky Courtland Sutton, and this is the week that Davis goes Boom! In the Dome, coming off a tough loss, you know the Bills are out for Blood. Let me mention Stefon Diggs, right here in this little Davis post, because he’s so good, and if we love stacking this game, maybe get both. I will repeat myself here again, I love stacking this game, so get some exposure here this week in your GPPs. It’s not a safe cash play so let’s be real, but boy oh boy, lock and load Davis this week. Run backs with Hock and Cook. LFG

CEEDEE LAMB, DAL $7,500 DRAFTKINGS $8,100 FANDUEL

I can’t leave this beast out of my article this week. He had 15 targets last week, and with Dak getting back on track, this looks like a really safe play this week. He’ll be popular, so it looks like a Cash Play lock. This game looks to be a shootout, so don’t get cute this week with this play.

Honorable Mention: DIGGS, Jefferson, Adams, Higgins, Sutton, AJ Brown, Meyers, Pittman

Value Plays: DPJ, Slayton, V. Jefferson, Wilson, DJ Moore

I really hope that you had some Cole Kmet exposure last week. His ownership will continue to rise with the meteoric ascension of Justin Fields, and that is just fine. Last week was a great one for us in the Tight End article. Dalton Schultz had his way with Green Bay (6-54-1) and Tyler Higbee was the only player on the Rams who wasn’t embarrassing (8-73). Greg Dulcich was a dud, but the entire Broncos roster is a dud now. Let’s keep it rolling for Week 11!

Be sure to jump into the WinDailySports Discord, and take advantage of our cheat sheets and projections while you build your lineups for Week 11 on FanDuel and DraftKings! Let’s continue to finish strong this season!

Dalton Schultz, Cowboys ($4,300 DraftKings, $5,900 FanDuel)

This week is a frustrating one. George Kittle is in a SMASH spot…not on the main slate. Travis Kelce and Gerald Everett? Not on main slate. Regardless, we move on as usual.

The return of Dak Prescott has vaulted Schultz back into the upper echelon of Tight Ends. Schultz has hauled in 17 of 20 targets (187 yards and a score) over three weeks since “Return of the Dak”. Side note, “Return of the Mack” is the most underrated song of the 90s. Argue with your momma.

Regardless, Schultz has a cement role in a good offense in Dallas, and is in a good spot again. The Vikings are 21st in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing Tight Ends. Schultz will be a busy man in what may just be the best game of the week.

TJ Hockenson, Vikings ($5,300 DraftKings, $6,500 FanDuel)

Sure, Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers was HUGE. I’d argue that the Vikings’ addition of Hockenson was the single best move at the deadline. He has been a target machine since his arrival in Minnesota, catching 16 of 19 targets for 115 yards across a pair of games.

The touchdown upside may be capped by the Vikings having elite options at WR (Jefferson) and RB (Cook), but who cares? Hockenson has picked up the offense immediately, and needs to be one of the first Tight Ends you consider in Week 11. We have seen his upside, and now he has established one of the highest floors at the position.

Dallas ranks 8th in the NFL against Tight Ends, per fantasy points allowed. I’ll use a term my kids use…DILLIGAF. It stands for “Does It Look Like I Give A F”. And I don’t. Hock is one of the best in the game, and the Vikings offense is a perfect home for his skill set.

Pat Freiermuth, Steelers ($4,200 DraftKings, $5,400 FanDuel)

It pains me to suggest a player against my beloved Cincinnati Bengals in what amounts to a must-win for the team. In DFS, playoff positioning takes second fiddle. The Steelers offense is a trainwreck. They haven’t scored more than 20 points in a regulation game a single time this season.

“The Freir” has been one of the few bright spots in this offense. His role is solid, and he makes for a good option here against a Bengals defense that is middle of the pack against Tight Ends.

Pat has 23 targets over the last three weeks. With an offense that seems incapable of big plays down the field, Freiermuth should be busy underneath. The ceiling isn’t there, but he makes for a safe play with a small bit of upside here in a positive game script.

Foster Moreau, Raiders ($3,700 DraftKings, $5,600 FanDuel)

Darren Waller is on the IL, and so is the Raiders’ season. Feigned optimism has come out this week from Derek Carr and Davante Adams, but nobody is buying it. This team has underachieved all season as Josh McDaniels shows once again that he is an incapable Head Coach in the NFL.

Regardless, Moreau is now thrust into the starting role with Waller on the shelf, and he has proven capable. He is coming off a solid week (3-43-1), and now gets a Broncos team that is 17th in the NFL against opposing TE. Denver has been solid on the defensive end, but they can be beat with Tight Ends. Both of these teams are in competition for ONE thing: biggest disappointment in the NFL in 2022. Best of luck to both sides.

Cole Kmet, Bears ($4,100 DraftKings, $5,700 FanDuel)

My favorite guy is back once again. I’ve been writing him up all season, and am stoked to see him and Justin Fields find success. No Tight End is close to the 9-115-4 that Kmet has posted the last two weeks. His ownership should be higher than Josh Gordon in this one.

Atlanta is bad defensively against, well, everyone. They rank 23rd in the NFL in fantasy points allowed to opposing Tight Ends. Kmet is still cheap, he has shown upside, and the Bears WR have not. His rapport with Fields cannot be taken for granted here. Sure, you’re buying a ton of ownership once again, but that doesn’t scare me off him. Hop back on the Kmet train with me. Bears country, let’s ride!

Come find me on Twitter and let’s chat some football! Good luck in Week 7, and let’s meet at the top of the leaderboards!
