Quarterback

Russell Wilson (SEA): $6,700 @ TB (22.4% Own %)
With at least 24 DKP in each of the last three games, it’s appearing that Wilson is rounding into form after some health issues. This is a good matchup against the Buccaneers, who struggle to defend the pass. As I’ve said in the past, the linebackers for Tampa Bay can be undisciplined at times, which could boost Wilson’s prospects running the ball. I don’t mind having some exposure here, but I wouldn’t go all in this week.

Running Back

David Johnson (ARI): $8,900 @ ATL (41.6% Own %)
Johnson is averaging nearly 25 touches per contest, and he’s scored at least 27 DKP in five out of the last six games. The Falcons rank 27th in fantasy points allowed per game to running backs, and Johnson’s involvement in the passing game gives him a very high floor. I expect plenty of fireworks on offense in this game, with Johnson a good bet to have a big hand in the final score. This is a situation where it’s tough to fade the chalk, even at these ownership levels.

Wide Receiver

Odell Beckham Jr. (NYG): $8,800 @ CLE (44.1% Own %)
Beckham and the Giants face the winless Browns, and this shapes up as a great matchup for the wideout. Week 12’s main slate is devoid of top options at receiver, so a lot of users will likely flock to Beckham. Despite the good matchup, I wouldn’t force exposure, as this game could get out of hand quickly.

Tight End

Jimmy Graham (SEA): $5,300 @ TB (21.7% Own %)
If not for a touchdown in Week 11, Graham would have had a very low statistical output, but he salvaged the day due to that score. Up next is a decent matchup against the Buccaneers in a game that has the Seahawks projected for 25 points. His salary is favorable for both cash and tournament play this week, but I prefer to look elsewhere.

D/ST

Tennessee Titans: $2,800 @ CHI (25.6% Own %)
The Bears will send Matt Barkley out as their starting quarterback this week, which puts the Titans’ defense in a good spot. In five career appearances, Barkley owns a 55.4 percent completion rate, with zero touchdowns and six interceptions. Tennessee is in a great spot for a few turnovers, and they are cheap, which allows you to spend elsewhere.
