FanDuel NFL 2021: Best lineup for Week 13

Flex: Keenan Allen, WR, Los Angeles Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals-$7,300

Allen had double-digit targets for the fifth straight game in Week 12, with seven catches ofr 85 yards on an even 10 looks.

As with Herbert, it’s not a great matchup for Allen on the surface. But the Bengals’ stinginess to wide receivers is rooted in lack of touchdowns allowed (seven), with standings in yards, catches and targets allowed to the position that don’t correlate well.

Allen starts with a solid floor, with a nice ceiling in a game that’s likely to push toward a total in the high 50s or low 60s.

Team Defense: Miami Dolphins vs. New York Giants-$4,000

The Dolphins’ defense had a great outing in Week 12, holding the Carolina Panthers to 10 points with five sacks and three interceptions. Through a run of good matchups, as a caveat, they have allowed 17 or less points in four straight games (10 or less three times in that span). Over that four-game stretch, they have 16 sacks with 10 takeaways. Week 13 brings another good matchup at home.

The New York Giants have scored 17 or less points in five of their last six games, with 13 or less points scored three times in that span. Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles was the first and is the only time of that six-game stretch Daniel Jones has not been sacked multiple times. Firing offensive coordinator Jason Garrett and elevating Freddie Kitchens after Week 11 was akin to putting out a kitchen fire when the whole house is ablaze. The Giants have nothing to hang their hat on offensively right now, and now Jones’ status is in doubt for Sunday due to a neck injury. If he can’t go, Mike Glennon will start under center in his place.

Miami’s defense is in position to take advantage of a good matchup again. And they’re remarkably cheap on FanDuel.
