FanDuel NFL 2017: Week 12 Lineup
As your FanDuel NFL contests get going for Week 12, here’s a lineup to deploy.
Before my FanDuel Week 12 lineup is unveiled, here’s a look at the results from Week 11.
Quarterback: Alex Smith-9.9 points
Running Backs: LeSean McCoy-25.1 points, Melvin Gordon-14 points
Wide Receivers: Michael Crabtree-10.1 points, Roger Lewis (late swap for Sterling Shepard)-7 points, DeVante Parker-4.6 points
Tight End: Travis Kelce-13.9 points
Kicker: Greg Zuerlein-1 point
Arizona Cardinals-4 points
Yuck. My late adjustments (Lewis and Parker) for Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard being out did not come through. McCoy and Kelce pretty much delivered, but that’s it. So let’s move on.
To keep up with all of FanSided’s DFS NFL coverage, head over to the fantasy football hub where each week you can find a post like this tailored for DraftKings as well as one specifically designed for usage on FanDuel. In this post, all salary and “fantasy points” references are to the FanDuel scoring system (unless otherwise noted) and salaries. If you have any additional questions or thoughts, or are looking for updates as we approach kickoff, follow @FanSidedFantasy on Twitter or tweet me @bradberreman24.
So here’s my FanDuel lineup for Week 12, which I’m using in a Sunday-only contest.
Quarterback: Russell Wilson, Seattle Seahawks-$8,600
There may be no quarterback producing better right now than Wilson, with multiple passing touchdowns in five straight games, over 75 rushing yards in two of the last three and over 40 pass attempts in three of those five.
Wilson now gets a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 12. They have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks (ESPN scoring), with multiple passing touchdowns allowed in five straight games.
Wilson did not have a big day against the 49ers back in Week 2, with 232 total yards (198 passing) and a passing touchdown in a narrow win. But he’s playing better now than he was then, and he’s carrying the Seahawks’ offense right now. A road game is a bit of a concern, but not enough to diminish Wilson’s upside in a very nice matchup.
