Fantasy Football Hangout - Week 12 Roundup, Thanksgiving Games and Rock Solid DFS Picks


Listen Later

Week 12 roundup, Thanksgiving games (00:28)


CHI 16, DET 14

Andy Dalton makes the CHI pass catchers viable in fantasy

David Montgomery a so-so game but the volume was there

Darnell Mooney is pretty much QB proof; has a connection with both Dalton & Justin Fields

Cole Kmet coming on late in the season; check the waiver wire to see if he's available

Jared Goff is who he is; seems like DET may be looking for a franchise QB when all is said & done

D'Andre Swift leaving the game early with a shoulder sprain; enter Jamaal Williams

Next up: CHI hosts ARI; DET hosts MIN


LV 36, DAL 33 (OT)

LV, who many left for dead, somehow gets the win

Derek Carr with a masterful performance

Josh Jacobs brilliant in the run game

Darren Weller leaves this game early with a minor knee injury

Hunter Renfrow was the direct beneficiary of Weller's injury

DeSean Jackson playing the Henry Ruggs III role in this offense

Dak Prescott with a fine game which makes this loss even more perplexing given that he was without Amari Cooper (COVID) & Ceedee Lamb (concussion)

Ezekiel Elliott could possibly sit in the coming weeks with his knee ailment

Michael Gallup & Cedrick Wilson steps up in the absence of Cooper & Lamb

Next up: LV hosts WAS; DAL travels to NO (Thurs)


BUF 31, NO 6

Josh Allen with a very good game bouncing back from last week's debacle

Zach Moss was a healthy scratch in this contest; seems like Matt Breida is the RB of choice

Stefon Diggs continues his hot play lately; Dawson Knox viable in a big way

Trevor Siemian has his ups & downs; this game was a downer

Without Alvin Kamara & Mark Ingram II both out with knee injuries, Tony Jones Jr got the start; didn't play so great

Now may be the time to pick up Tre'Quan Smith although the QB play makes it a bit tricky

Next up: BUF hosts NE (Mon); NO hosts DAL (Thurs)


GD's Rock Solid DFS Picks (20:47)

QB: Jimmy Garoppolo (SF) vs MIN: he's been playing well at QB as of late & the SF offense has come on also; MIN pass defense just got torched by Aaron Rodgers (GB)

RB: Darrell Henderson (LAR) @ GB: a forgotten man since his team was on a bye; GB run defense giving up the 7th most fantasy points to opposing RBs

David Johnson (HOU) vs NYJ: a multi-faceted RB who can easily exploit the NYJ awful run defense, even despite the presence of running mate Rex Burkhead

WR: DJ Moore (CAR) vs MIA: now very much playable with Cam Newton at QB; MIA pass defense allowing the 3rd most fantasy points to opposing WRs

Michael Pittman Jr (IND) vs TB: in a game where Carson Wentz will have to air it out, MPJ has a chance at a monster game especially given the fact that TB will do their best to shut down Jonathan Taylor in the run game; plus TB's pass defense can be suspect

TE: Dallas Goedert (PHI) at NYG: NYG pass defense ranked 26th; could be a game where he & DeVonta Smith can feast off of that defense

D/ST: HOU vs NYJ: with Zach Wilson back at QB after his PCL injury & Michael Carter Jr out with a high ankle sprain, this NYJ offense seems bound to struggle mightily in this game

JAC vs ATL: they get an ATL offense that has had a rough time especially without the services of Calvin Ridley who's still out on leave due to mental issues he's dealing with; this JAC defense could very well exploit their weaknesses
