WEEK 12 DRAFTKINGS FAN DUEL QB/RB/WR PLAYS

QB

Drew Brees – DK $8,200  Fan Duel $9,000

Brees is at home this week against a Ravens Passing D that ranks in the bottom 3rd in the NFL.  They give up 251 yards per game, 14 TD’s this season and have only Intercepted the opposing QB a shocking 6 times all season.  Brees is coming off a mediocre game against The Bengals, but I think hes in for a bounce back game in a shootout against Baltimore.  Demon Projection: 340 yards, 3 Td’s, 1 Int. 

Jay Cutler – DK $7,700  Fan Duel $8,800

Cutler is the poster child for “Streaky” QB’s.  He’s coming off a great game against Minnesota.  I would expect him to keep it rolling at home VS Tampa Bay, which is one of the worst Defenses in all of football.  TB stinks in the cold too, they always do.  They give up 266 yards per game, and 20 TD’s this season.  They are prone to smaller passes and don’t give up too much production to the long bombs.  I think Martellius Bennett is going to have himself a game, and Matt Forte as well. Demon projection: 310 yards, 3 TD’s, 1 Int

Josh McCown – DK $6,600  Fan Duel $7,500

McCown has thrown for 589 yards and 4 TD’s his past two games.  He plays against his former team, The Chicago Bears, in Chicago this weekend.  I, for one, believe in the “Revenge Game Factor”.  There is something to be said for a player going up against his ex-team and teammates.  McCowan played really well in Chicago when he was filling in for Cutler.  Putting all the mental stuff aside, this is a great matchup for him.  The Bears give up 256 yards per game, 24 passing td’s thus far (2nd worst in the NFL), and 9 plays of 40 or more yards.  McCown is so cheap he doesn’t need to throw 5 or 4 TD’s to be a good value.  I do think he has a huge game, and you can use the price difference to go after D. Murray or Forte.  Demon Projection: 288 yards, 3 TD’s, 0 Int

RB

Eddie Lacy – DK $7,300  Fan Duel $8,600

Last time he played Minnesota, 132 yards and 2 TD’s.  Last time he played in a dome, 182 total yards at New Orleans.  Everything is pointing to Lacy having a huge game.  He could have the same production (Possibly more) than Murrray or Forte, at a cheaper price.  I do not see Aaron Rodgers having an earth-shattering game.  I think this will be the Lacy Show.  Demon Projection: 115 yards 1 TD, 4 receptions 44 yards 1 TD

Justin Forsett –  DK $6,500  Fan Duel $7,700

Forsett visits New Orleans this week.  The Saints got TORCHED by Jeremy Hill last weekend, and have given up 10 rushing TD’s this season.  Forsett and The Ravens are coming off a bye week, and a set of fresh legs never hurts.  My only concern is Forsett taking it to the one yard line and another Ravens RB robbing him for the score.  Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.  Demon Projection: 17 carries 108 yards 1 td, 3 receptions for 21 yards

Trent Richardson – DK $4,900  Fan Duel $5,700

He has really been mediocre this season.  If he is ever going to get it together, and produce a big game, it HAS TO BE this week.   Bradshaw out, its NOW OR NEVER.  He faces a terrible Jaguars run Defense in Indy, that gives up 125 yards per game, and a league worst 12 times given up running plays of 20 or more yards.  This may be the last time you can get him this cheap.  Demon Projection: 15 carries 80 yards 1 TD, 7 receptions 52 yards 1 td

WR

AJ Green – DK $7,300  Fan Duel $8,600

Green will be the #1 WR this week.  The most success I’ve had this season has been when I take the WR #1 versus The Texans.  They give up league worst 290 yards per game, 20 touchdowns, and 12 plays of 40 or more yards, through the air.  HOUSTON CAN NOT COVER WIDE RECIEVERS.  Maybe Sanu gets some action as well, but Green will be a monster, he had a nice game last week against the Saints as well (6 for 127 and 1 Td).  Demon Projection: 11 Receptions for 209 yards and 2 TD’s

Sammy Watkins –  DK $5,600  Fan Duel $7,500

Watkins has had 2 duds in a row, I don’t think he makes it 3 this week.  Last time he played the Jets he scorched them for 157 yards and a TD.  The Jets stink against opposing WR’s.  They have given up a league worst 25 receiving touchdowns this season, with 11 plays of 40 or more yards.  That screams Sammy Watkins to me.  Demon Projection: 7 receptions, 128 yards, 2 Td’s

 

Torrey Smith – DK $5,400  Fan Duel $6,500

Smith has 6 touchdowns in the past 6 games.  He is good for 5 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown almost every game.  The Saints give up 261 yards per game through the air and 1.6 passing touchdowns per game.  That production needs to come from someone, Steve Smith JR’s numbers slowly go down, Torrey Smith slowly go up.  He is a very “Safe” player to go with this week.  If he gets his 5/80/1, he over produced compared to his pricetag.  Demon Projection: 5 for 80 with 1
