Week 12 Wide Receiver Cash Game Plays
Michael Thomas, CAR vs NO
DK ($9,200) FD ($9,300)
Michael Thomas is leading the league in targets, receptions, receiving yards per game and receiving yards. The Panthers do not have any defensive backs that can stop him. Expect another big game from Michael Thomas with double-digit targets and around 100 yards and possibly a touchdown or two.
D.K. Metcalf, SEA @ PHI
DK ($6,300) FD ($6,700)
Recently, Metcalf has shown what he is able to do with a 100-yard game against the Buccaneers. Going up against a depleted secondary of the Philadelphia Eagles could be a blessing for Metcalf as he can get around five catches for 80 yards and a touchdown. Russell Wilson will have a nice game and Metcalf will be the main reason why.
Week 12 Wide Receiver GPP Plays
Jarvis Landry, MIA vs CLE
DK ($6,300) FD ($6,900)
This should be the game where Jarvis Landry and Baker Mayfield have a huge game together. Going up against the tanking Miami Dolphins helps as they allow 12.6 yards a catch and haven given up 42 plays of at least 20 yards. Landry will get the second cornerback and should tear it up more than OBJ will.
Mike Evans, TB @ ATL
DK ($7,300) FD ($8,000)
Evans is averaging just under 100 yards a game and is second in receiving yards this season. He also has seven touchdowns and could increase that total against a subpar Atlanta defense. Atlanta gives up 276 yards per game through the air and Mike Evans could benefit the most from that. Who do they have that can stop Mike Evans?
Week 12 Wide Receiver Fades
Amari Cooper, DAL @ NE
DK ($6,600) FD ($7,700)
Amari Cooper is Top Five in receiving yards and yards per game. However, he is dealing with the New England Patriots’ defense. Let alone that, Bill Belichick takes away an opponent’s best DFS option and that would be Cooper. New England allows just 152.6 yards a game through the air and will gameplan against Amari Cooper. Cooper will definitely take a hit in production and force the Cowboys to figure out something else.
Allen Robinson, NYG vs CHI
DK ($6,500) FD ($7,500)
Allen Robinson is going to have an okay game against a less-than-stellar Giants defense. This is not about his skill not being there, instead of who is throwing him the ball. I don’t trust Mitchell Trubisky at all and with the Giants coming off their bye week, expect the gameplan to be to shut down Robinson in the passing game.

Jarvis Landry, Michael Thomas and Mike Evans over 25.5 receptions
Michael Thomas should go out and get eight catches with most of the targets heading his way. Jarvis Landry should have a field day against the Miami Dolphins, who are actively trying to lose, will have their second-best corner on him. Mike Evans should get around seven catches as well against the Atlanta Falcons in a huge passing game. If Landry can get early confidence with Baker Mayfield, this should be a lock.
