It’s Week 12 of the NFL season, a.k.a. Thanksgiving Week. From exploitable matchups to breakout studs, check out this week’s DraftKings lineup.
The NFL season is entering its final act, and fantasy football and DraftKings lineups remain in full swing. From breakout stars to exploitable matchups, this week’s lineup offers a high floor with plenty of upside. Let’s get into it!
Best DraftKings lineup for Week 12
QB: Geno Smith, Seattle Seahawks ($6,000)
No one would have imagined that the Seattle Seahawks won the Russell Wilson trade between the Seahawks and the Denver Broncos. They have a plethora of better draft picks and the better quarterback. Geno Smith has been playing at a borderline Pro Bowl level.
This week, Smith and the Seahawks take on a Las Vegas Raiders team that just beat Wilson and the Bronco’s disappointing offense. Smith has been an excellent fantasy football pickup as well, as he’s the overall QB7 in scoring on the year, which is higher than guys like Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert.
Smith should have no issues against a Raiders defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to the quarterback position. He’s a solid option for the lineup and comes at a cheaper cost despite his breakout fantasy campaign this season.
