Indianapolis Colts Quarterback - Andrew Luck Primary Target - T.Y. Hilton This week is a little different from the previous few as there are only two games with a Vegas Total greater than 50 and of those quarterbacks, only one stands out. Winston and Osweiler have been very inconsistent, and while Nick Mullens has the nut matchup this week he has such a small sample size. Andrew Luck, on the other hand, has everything going his way lately and checks off almost every single box. First of all, the Colts have the highest implied total(29) of any team and come in with a four-game win streak on the back of the Luck and the offense who have averaged 36.5 points per game in that stretch. Luck's success has gone back even further as he is on a historic run with seven straight games with three or more touchdowns and has tallied 22 or more fantasy points in each of those contests. He is even shaking the "declining arm strength" tag he was given early in the season as illustrated by his 68-yard bomb to Hilton last week over the top of Adoree' Jackson, one of the fastest corners in the game. The matchup on paper may not look the best as the Dolphins are only giving up 250 passing yards per game(19th) but considering Luck torched the #3 ranked passing defense in Jacksonville two weeks ago, I am not worried at all. I will once again be pairing Luck with Hilton as he has been the only consistent option in the passing game since his return. Baltimore Ravens Quarterback - Lamar Jackson Running Back - Gus Edwards The zone-read came into play last week for the Ravens who started Lamar Jackson in place of the injured Joe Flacco. Alex Collins was essentially phased out early in the game and for good reason as Jackson and Edwards combined for 43 carries and 234...

Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 Two big NFL slates in one week? I mean, sure? It's actually kind of funny, though, because in some ways it feels like we used up a lot of the great DFS NFL plays on Thursday, and now we're sort of picking at the DFS leftovers. Did you pick up on my well-crafted Thanksgiving metaphor? I thought so. I'm here all season, folks.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Lamar Jackson FD 7400 DK 5700 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 21.7 DK - 21.72 So, we haven't seen a quarterback game like Jackson's week 11 performance in a while, huh? The Ravens had a 54:19 run-pass ratio, and Jackson himself had 26 carries. The Ravens are 10.5 favorites over Oakland this week, and it's hard to believe that they will run less in a game that Vegas sees them winning easily. Jackson is basically a good running back who will pass 20 times a game as well, and this makes him an absurdly high floor cash game play from where I'm sitting. Oakland has been the very worst team in the NFL against opposing passers this season, and while the Ravens are passing more to keep opposing defenses honest than anything else, the Raiders are one of the least equipped defenses to punish a young quarterback. Ben Roethlisberger FD 7900 DK 6100 Opponent DEN Proj Points FD - 21.43 DK - 21.67 I had a tough time figuring out who I wanted to list in the QB2 slot today. I'll break down the other guys I considered in a second, but for now let's give the case for Big Ben. Roethlisberger has quietly settled in as a solid high floor QB option even as James Conner has shown us that teams are as responsible for big RB performances as the players themselves. We're coming off a week 11 game where the Steelers elected to simply pivot away from the run and into the teeth of one of the best cornerback duos in the league rather than continue to run Conner, and one has to think that Ben's floor is even higher than usual right now. Pittsburgh elected to give Conner 9 targets last game as well, showing that perhaps Ben will get a...
Thanksgiving Day Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings
Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 Happy Turkey Day! I can only imagine how jealous our grandfathers would be if they could know how much we've infused even more football into a day that's ostensibly about getting together with family and spend time together. Now you've got all of the games to watch, and the hour before lineup lock to get in your lineups? We should all be so blessed. On this Thanksgiving, I'm grateful for the incredible bounty of being able to go way too deep on a three game NFL slate.

Get started for free by clicking the button below. START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! First time with NFL? Be sure to read our free MLB and NFL Ebooks on building lineups, general strategy and more. We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Drew Brees FD 9000 DK 6700 Opponent ATL Proj Points FD - 21.77 DK - 21.45 Matt Ryan FD 8600 DK 6100 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 20.72 DK - 21.31 The Drew Brees or Matt Ryan question will be a fundamental one for this Thanksgiving Day slate, and our lineup optimizer sees it as being a really close decision. Brees is averaging .5 more FanDuel points per game this season, but he's also $400 more on FanDuel and $600 more on DraftKings. Ryan's been throwing the ball more, but Brees has been putting up better fantasy totals. Both teams represent great match-ups for opposing quarterbacks, but New Orleans has allowed .5 more yards per attempt in the air this season. Brees has a much better running game behind him, which can vulture his touchdowns (even if it hasn't recently). When it all comes out in the wash, our system slightly prefers Ryan, but mostly because saving the extra $400 really matters on such a short slate with so few options. Mitch Trubisky FD 7900 DK 5500 Opponent DET Proj Points FD - 20.43 DK - 20.56 And hey, if you can't spend all the way up at quarterback, Trubisky isn't such a bad consolation prize. He's got a banged up right shoulder right now, but assuming he's given a full bill of health, he makes for an excellent play here. If you throw out that bizarre Buffalo game, Trubisky has topped 17 fantasy points in 6 of his last 7 games, including 3 games where he topped an astounding 33 fantasy points. During their four game winning streak he's completed almost 65% of his passes. In his last six...
