DraftKings NFL 2022: Best daily fantasy lineup for Week 12
TE: Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars ($3,200)
Another solid acquisition for Jacksonville has been former Giant Evan Engram. His 352 yards rank 12th among tight ends, and he’s become a sneaky fantasy asset as well — ranking as the TE17 on the year. The Jaguars have kept games competitive all season, elevating the floor a bit for Engram.
Like his teammate Kirk, Engram has a solid matchup this week against the Baltimore Ravens, who allow the 16th-most fantasy points to tight ends. He’s a high-floor, touchdown-upside option.
FLEX: Rachaad White, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($5,100)
Rachaad White is one of my favorite plays this week. After his breakout performance in Germany in Week 10 where he rushed 22 times for 105 yards, White looks poised to remain the starter for Tampa Bay. He’s looked way better than Leonard Fournette this year, and the Bucs staff is finally realizing it.
White faces the Cleveland Browns’ 10th-worst run defense in Week 12, who allow the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs. If he can remain the starter, he will be a solid value play at such a low price.
D/ST: Kansas City Chiefs ($2,800)
One of the most surprising stats of Week 12? The Kansas City Chiefs are tied for fourth in the NFL with 32 sacks on defense. In an offseason where you saw the rest of the AFC West load up with pass rushers (Chandler Jones, Khalil Mack, Randy Gregory), it’s the Chiefs that have the best pass rush in the division.
What’s a great recipe for success for teams with a great pass rush? Playing against a bad defensive line. The Chiefs have a chance to completely wreck this game against the Los Angeles Rams defensively.
