Flex: Mike Williams, Los Angeles Chargers vs. New York Giants-$6,900

After a multi-week downturn, Williams has topped 95 yards in two of his last three games with eight targets in the game in-between. Chargers top wide receiver Keenan Allen has tested positive for COVID-19, but since he’s vaccinated he could play against the Giants if he can register two negative tests 24 hours apart between now and Sunday.

But even if Allen plays, the Giants are in the bottom-10 of the league in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. So there’s room for both guys to eat, and Williams is quite simply a physical mismatch.

Team Defense: Los Angeles Chargers vs. New York Giants-$4,300

The Chargers defense has not been great overall this season. But they have multiple sacks in three of their last four games, with three interceptions over their last two. A fantastic matchup is coming in Week 14.

As mentioned before, the Giants are in line to be down to Jake Fromm under center this week and he has never attempted a regular-season NFL pass. A conservative approach, centered around Saquon Barkley, feels likely. And that leaves out the weekly exercise of trying to predict which Giants wide receivers will be available.

The Giants just aren’t equipped to light it up offensively. The Chargers defense combines a nice floor, a high ceiling and good value rather well on FanDuel this week.
