Every Sunday in the weekly fantasy chats, I get asked about my favorite plays of the week or who is my player pool that weekend for DFS.
This article series covers exactly that.
I will go through the games I am targeting for stacking purposes here as well as the players I am targeting as core plays and tournament plays in other articles.
The idea is that this will paint a clearer picture of framing lineups.
Week 12 DFS Content:
For any who are new here, one of my favorite ways to play DFS from a tournament stance single-to-five-max entry games with 5K or smaller fields.
Both sites even offer these types of games with fewer than 100 entries (albeit at a higher cost of entry) if you want to go after a really small field.
In these contests, my approach is to go with full-game stacks.
You are going to lose a lot of weeks, but if you get the game right, you gain a big advantage. Just cashing in one of these over an 18-week season can make your entire year.
When doing these, I want to aggressively build around games that have a wider range of outcomes.
However, with the reduced number of entries, you can also eat some chalky game stacks because we are going further in the overall game stack than our opponents likely will.
These are the games I am circling for those tournaments in Week 12, but you can also tie these games into your stacks for other tournaments.
You can dig deeper into why I believe these games present some downside in the Worksheet, but we are solely playing for the upside outcome here in these games.
I will have some analysis on the player selections and game writeups, but check out the Week 12 Worksheet for a fully detailed breakdown of the players and games.
BILLS AT EAGLES
The highest total on the main slate (48.5 points), featuring two teams that do not punt.
Philadelphia has scored on 45.7% of their drives, second in the league. Buffalo has scored on 43.1% of their drives, fourth in the league.
The Bills have punted on 25.9% of their drives, the lowest rate in the league. The Eagles have punted on 28.6% of their drives, fifth in the league.
The Eagles are converting a league-high 48.2% of their third downs. The Bills are converting 48.1% of their third downs, second in the league.
Stacking either primary of Jalen Hurts + A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith or going Josh Allen + Stefon Diggs will not come cheap.
The Buffalo side offers more stacking ability through ancillary pieces. Dalton Kincaid, Gabe Davis, and Khalil Shakir are in play at palatable pricing for extending out your game stack.
Like most, I would prefer to play this game through both pass sides since both quarterbacks also come with touchdown equity on the ground.
But another way to get unique is to dabble with D’Andre Swift or James Cook in your bringbacks depending on which quarterback you play.
