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.

Ah Thanksgiving! We've got the traditional three-game slate spread out over the course of the day with some intriguing fantasy options.

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...

Daily Fantasy Football Injury Update and Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 – 11/19/17
Daily Fantasy Football Injury Update and Top Stacks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 11 - 11/19/17 Welcome back for another week of daily fantasy football. It's the final time this season we have to deal with bye weeks and the final four teams getting a rest are the Colts, Jets, 49ers, and Panthers. Also noteworthy is that the Patriots and Raiders game will be hosted at Estadio Azteca Stadium in Mexico City which is just over 2,000 feet more above sea level than Denver, Colorado. This will most definitely affect the kicking game so on FanDuel be sure to give strong consideration to Stephen Gostowski and Giorgio Tevecchio. Before getting into my top stacks for the week, let's take a look at some of the key injuries to monitor. Phillip Rivers - Was questionable early in the week with a concussion but was cleared on Thursday and was a full participant in practice. He is good to go for Week 11 vs. Buffalo. Julio Jones - Was limited in practice this week but there is no concern for him missing the game Monday night vs. the Seahawks. He gets an upgrade this week with Richard Sherman out for the season. Jameis Winston - Remains out with a shoulder injury. Ryan Fitzpatrick will start for the Bucs this week. Alshon Jeffery - Dealing with an ankle injury but declared he will play this week and has been dealing with the injury for awhile. Devonta Freeman - Doubtful with a concussion. If out, and it is fully expected, Tevin Coleman becomes a top value in fantasy under $6K on both sites. Dez Bryant - Returned to practice on Thursday after not doing so until Friday last week. With Ezekiel Elliott out for the next five weeks, Bryant could see a nice boost for fantasy owners. Chris Hogan - He remained out of practice again this week and is doubtful to play when the Patriots travel to Mexico Marqise Lee - Limited in practice but that is nothing new for him over the past couple weeks. With Allen Hurns out with an ankle injury, Lee is once again in for a large target share vs. the Browns. Kenny Stills - Left Thursday's practice with a back injury. Stay tuned to the injury reports as Sunday approaches as his absence would a slight boost for Jarvis Landry and Devante Parker. Will Fuller - Expected to miss this week with a rib injury. This opens up Bruce Ellington as a nice punt play. Aaron Jones & Ty Montgomery - Both Packers backs are likely to be out this week(Jones for sure out) which will open up value for Jamaal Williams for bell-cow duties vs. the Ravens. Isaiah Crowell - Limited...
DFS NFL Talk – Week 11 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings
DFS NFL Talk - Week 11 Cash Game Plays for FanDuel and DraftKings DFSR's Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the podcast to discuss Week 11 cash game plays for FanDuel and DraftKings. At quarterback they discuss Alex Smith, Tom Brady and Drew Brees all coming expensive but in good spots. The disagreement comes at running back where Doug argues the pro-Kareem Hunt side while James takes a strong stance against. Hunt has a great matchup but is coming off four pretty uninspiring weeks. They also look at Mark Ingram and Chris Thompson. At receiver, it's Michael Thomas, Sterling Shepard and Jarvis Landry with Travis Kelce in a great spot against the Giants.
