Daily Fantasy Football Injury Updates and Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 - 11/26/17 Welcome back daily fantasy football fans. I hope everyone had a terrific Thanksgiving and enjoyed the triple-header but it's now time to dip out feet into the Sunday slate. Before getting into my top stacks for GPP formats this week, let's take a look at some of the injury situations to monitor as lineup lock approaches. Devonta Freeman - Ruled out for Week 12 vs. the Buccaneers with a concussion. This will give full run of the backfield to Tevin Coleman who once again makes a nice value play. JuJu Smith-Schuster - Ruled out(hamstring) against the Packers in a terrific matchup. This gives a boost in value to Martavis Bryant who should see extra targets this week. Greg Olsen - Panthers have activated Greg Olsen with full expectation he will play on Sunday. Jimmy Graham - Was listed as Did Not Practice on both Wednesday and Thursday and is considered questionable for Week 12. Stay tuned for his Friday and gameday status. Ty Montgomery - Has not practiced all week for the Packers and is questionable for Sunday but more likely doubtful giving Jamaal Williams added value in the backfield once again. Jacoby Brissett - Has been dealing with a concussion but was cleared and is not listed on the Colts final injury report. Leonard Fournette - Still dealing with some pain with his ankle but is not listed on the injury report. Good to go as a RB1 this week and it's positive that he played through the pain last week and rushed 28 times for 111 yards. Jay Cutler - Has been ruled out for Week 12 with a concussion. Matt Moore will get the start. Robert Woods - After suffering a shoulder injury last week vs. the Vikings, Woods will miss this week and possibly another week or two. I look for more targets to go Sammy Watkins and Cooper Kupp's way moving forward. Rob Gronkowski - Confirmed he will be active after dealing with an illness earlier in the week. Fire him up as a TE1 vs. the Dolphins. Julio Jones - Was dealing with multiple injuries this week(ankle, knee) but is not listed on the final Falcons injury report. This is great news as he gets an elite matchup. See below. Rishard Matthews - Late addition to the Titans injury report as he did not practice on Friday with a hamstring injury. He is listed as questionable and if he is ruled out, makes Corey Davis an excellent value play. Kelvin Benjamin, Jordan Matthews, Charles Clay - The Bills will be in a tough spot this week in...

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 - 11/26/17 Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving replete with all the food, family and football you could handle. It's another holiday in the books and we now march on into the rest of Week 12 for the NFL.

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Russell Wilson FD 8600 DK 7000 Opponent SF Proj Points FD - 26.77 DK - 27.7 If he isn’t the total and complete chalk on this main slate then I’ll eat my hat. Literally, I’ll ingest an entire hat that I own. Wilson is in the perfect cash game spot this week. He’s playing the 49ers who are allowing the most opponent plays per game this season (68.9 / game) and have the 30th ranked DVOA defense against the pass. Wilson is basically the entire Seahawks’ offense leading the team in passing (of course) but also rushing. He’s likely to finish the season like this and it’s rare for a quarterback to shoulder the entire load. But there’s Russell just doing everything and that should be the case again this week in what represents basically the perfect DFS matchup. Wilson is the highest scoring fantasy quarterback of the season and that’s unlikely to change after this week. Cam Newton FD 8000 DK 6600 Opponent NYJ Proj Points FD - 21.85 DK - 22.7 Let me be very clear: Wilson is far and away the best quarterback value of the week. It’s not particularly close (for me) and the additional QBs here are strictly GPP pivots/alternate slate plays. Cam’s made some improvements this season in terms of his accuracy in that the 62% completion percentage is up from the career-worst 52% last season. Christian McCaffery has a lot to do with this considering the ease of routes he’s running and the number of targets he’s seen this season. The yards per completion are actually down which makes sense considering this new addition to the passing game. But the other welcome change is how much more Cam’s been taking off and running. He’s on pace for his...

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 12 Thanksgiving Day Games 11/23/17 The single greatest day of the year is just around the corner. A day to sit down with family and gently nudge them out of the way so you can see the football game without having to move too much because you've completely engorged yourself on food that we only eat once a year (because it's completely overrated fare). Ah Thanksgiving! We've got the traditional three-game slate spread out over the course of the day with some intriguing fantasy options. For cash games, I do think the chalk will be heavy on certain players, but that doesn't mean we can't sniff out some value. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

We've got you completely covered. Quarterback Kirk Cousins FD 8800 DK 7100 Opponent NYG Proj Points FD - 22.24 DK - 23.32 The Redskins are coming off a pretty crushing overtime loss to the Saints in which they blew an 11 point fourth quarter lead. You really can’t put it on the shoulders of Cousins who completed 22 of 32 passes for a 322/3 line against a New Orleans defense that came into the week 4th in DVOA against the pass. It was an impressive performance made to look even better considering he lost one of his best pass-catching option in Chris Thompson early in the game. The Redskins are -7.5 favorites against the Giants who are coming off an impressive win of their own last week. But New York allows the 6th most opponent offensive plays and have basically sucked on defense all year. This is a great spot for Cousins and appears the safest QB play on the short slate. Matthew Stafford FD 7700 DK 6000 Opponent MIN Proj Points FD - 17.86 DK - 0 It stands to reason the Lions will not be able to run the ball at all in this game. They’ve struggled on the ground all season long and now face the 5th ranked run defense in the Vikings. I think we could see close to 40 attempts for Stafford who’s sneakily the the 8th highest scoring fantasy quarterback on the season. He won’t run much (if at all) but has a 63% completion percentage and should be in for steady volume. With the early home game, and...
