This is your DFS Minute for NFL Week 13. Here are my Draftkings, Fanduel, and Owners Box lineups for the Sunday slate of games.
Anyone that plays Daily Fantasy Sports wants their share of the pie. May you find this week’s lineups to be helpful in putting some cash in your pockets. Last week for the DFS Minute Week 12, we had hits with Deebo Samuel, Van Jefferson, and Darnell Mooney. Christian McCaffrey and Ty Johnson put a damper on the day and prevented any money from being won.
Quarterback
Kirk Cousins: Fanduel $7,700/Draftkings $6,500
We are going back to the well this week with Kirk Cousins. Cousins did not have a terrible game by any means against the 49ers and it could have looked a lot different had he not missed a few throws. I expect a solid bounce back against the Detroit Lions this week.
Running Backs
Elijah Mitchell: Fanduel $8,000/Draftkings $6,000
Antonio Gibson: Fanduel $6,200/Draftkings $5,700
As expected, Elijah Mitchell gashed the Vikings’ defense. Mitchell had 27 carries totaling 133 yards and a touchdown. The 49ers running back also had five catches. This week Mitchell gets a terrible Seattle Seahawks defense. I expect Mitchell to tally 100 yards and another touchdown.
Speaking of the terrible Seattle Seahawks defense, Antonio Gibson had his best week of the season and looked as healthy as ever. Gibson had 29 carries for 111 yards and also caught seven passes. The Washington Football Team running back has another solid matchup this week against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Wide Receivers
Brandon Aiyuk: Fanduel $7,000/Draftkings $5,600
Justin Jefferson: Fanduel $8,000/Draftkings $8,200
Van Jefferson: Fanduel $5,800/Draftkings $5,300
Brandon Aiyuk only caught three passes on Sunday against the Vikings but had 91 yards. Aiyuk will be the feature target this week if Deebo Samuel is out. Aiyuk will be a must-play against the Seahawks.
Justin Jefferson was a few Kirk Cousins’ overthrows away from having another huge game in week 12. Jefferson was targeted nine times but only had four catches. He still managed to finish with 83 yards receiving. In week five against Detroit, Jefferson had seven catches for 124 yards. I expect a similar performance this week.
Van Jefferson was a value play last week and he is a value play again this week. Jefferson had nine targets in week 12 and though Odell Beckham had ten, Jefferson still produced. He only caught three of the nine targets, but they went for 93 yards and a touchdown.
Tight End and D/ST
Foster Moreau, TE: Fanduel $5,000/Draftkings $2,700
Los Angeles Rams, D/ST: Fanduel $4,900/Draftkings $4,000
I wanted to go back to the well with Pat Freiermuth here, but I am unsure if he can clear concussion protocol by game time. Foster Moreau is a solid play if Darren Waller is going to miss time. Even with Waller around Moreau has three touchdowns. At the price this week, it could be the play of the Sunday slate.
The Los Angeles Rams get the Jacksonville Jaguars this week and are an easy play. I expect the Rams defense to pressure Trevor Lawrence all day. I believe there is a good chance the Rams will shut the Jaguars out.
FLEX
Keenan Allen: Fanduel -$7,300
Darnell Mooney: Draftkings -$5,600
In Fanduel this week I am going with Keenan Allen and in DraftKings, I am going with Darnell Mooney. Keenan Allen hasn’t received less than 10 targets since Week 6. This week should be no different. Darnell Mooney has two 100 yard games in a row. Mooney has somewhat of a tough matchup this week, but what he has done lately cannot be ignored. He still comes at an incredible value.
Values and Honorable Mentions
Justin Herbert, QB: Fanduel $8,200/Draftkings $6,700
Cordarrelle Patterson, RB: Fanduel $7,400/Draftkings $7,000
Russell Gage, WR: Fanduel $5,300/Draftkings $5,300
Jaylen Waddle, WR: Fanduel $6,900/Draftkings $6,400
Logan Thomas, TE: Fanduel $5,600/Draftkings $4,000
I would not fault you for adding any of the above-mentioned players to your lineup this week. They all hold incredible value. If I were to try to switch it up at all, Logan Thomas is the player I would get in my lineup.
