DraftKings NFL Week 12 Lineup
By Joe Romano
Defense/Special Teams
Jacksonville Jaguars @ Buffalo Bills – $4000
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense are not the same unit that dominated the league a year ago but they are still talented. Just look at the game last week where they held a very potent Steelers offense to under 20 points. This week they play the NFL’s least effective offense in the Buffalo Bills. This game was a playoff matchup only a year ago. Now it looks like both teams will struggle to score twice. Jacksonville should feast on any quarterback the Bills trot out this weekend.
Los Angeles Chargers vs Arizona Cardinals – $3400
A defense that has loads of talent but has not produced as such is the Chargers. With Joey Bosa returning it will add an element to the defense that needs to be accounted for. The Chargers play a Cardinals offense that has been better as of late but still feature little outside David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. It is not a great matchup on paper but the Chargers are a solid play.
Value Defense/Special Teams
Buffalo Bills vs Jacksonville Jaguars – $2700
As discussed above, the Bills-Jaguars game should be by far the lowest scoring game of the weekend. Buffalo’s defense is a solid unit that can stifle a one-dimensional Jaguars offense. In an effort to maximize money the Bills are a strong candidate to get into the lineup. Jacksonville may also struggle in the cold weather expected in Buffalo this weekend. Buffalo saves $1300 that can be used to upgrade to elite talent at skill positions.
