Alvin Kamara<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the New Orleans Saints<\/a> face off against Christian McCaffrey<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and the Carolina Panthers<\/a> in a game featuring two top-tier fantasy running backs. Both players are good options this week. That said, Kamara, now healthy and priced $2,300 less than CMC, is a player to build around in DFS. Find out who to build your Week 12 daily NFL lineups around.<\/span><\/p>\n

Week 12 DFS Core Plays: Play Alvin Kamara<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Quarterbacks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Matt Ryan<\/a><\/strong> $6,700<\/span><\/h4>\n

Ryan and the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> in what Vegas has pegged for a high-scoring affair. The game has the highest O\/U (51.5) on the slate. The Falcons are 4.5 point favorites. The Bucs have allowed the third-most DraftKings points to quarterbacks this season. With Austin Hooper<\/a><\/strong> out of the mix, Julio Jones<\/a><\/strong> and Calvin Ridley<\/a><\/strong> are in a position to thrive if Ryan has a big game. It makes sense to stack all three together in some lineups. Both offenses in the matchup have the firepower to turn this game into a shootout. You\u2019ll want some exposure to this game in your lineups. <\/span><\/p>\n

Jameis Winston<\/strong><\/a> $6,200<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Bucs offense lives and dies by its passing attack, making Winston and his receivers great options for DFS. This week, Winston and company have a good matchup. The Falcons rank 26th in passing yards allowed per game (261.7). Winston, Mike Evans<\/a><\/strong>, and Chris Godwin<\/a><\/strong> are all worth getting exposure to in your lineups. Four marquee wide receivers are playing in this game. It wouldn’t be crazy to run out a few lineups with all of them in there mixed with Winston and Ryan. However, be aware that all of them will be popular plays. So if you are playing in large-field GPP tournaments, make sure to differentiate your lineup by playing a low-owned player or by leaving a few hundred dollars in salary on the table.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick Foles<\/a><\/strong> $5,400<\/span><\/h4>\n

Foles returned last week and threw 47 passes for 296 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. This week, Foles will face the Tennessee Titans<\/a>, who rank 28th in DraftKings points allowed to quarterbacks. The Titans are vulnerable in their secondary, Foles, and the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> have the talent to exploit that weakness. At only $5,400, Foles has a chance to eclipse 4x this week. The Jaguars offense provides the opportunity for low-cost and low-owned GPP stacks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Running Backs<\/span><\/h3>\n

Alvin Kamara $8,200<\/span><\/h4>\n

Kamara has an excellent matchup this week. He faces the bottom-five run defense of the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers rank 29th in DraftKings points allowed to running backs. Now in his third week back since returning from injury, Kamara should resume handling his usual workload. Kamara should see in the neighborhood of 20-25 touches this week. If he gets his full allotment of snaps, he should have a big game.<\/span><\/p>\n

Derrick Henry<\/a><\/strong> $6,900<\/span><\/h4>\n

Henry plays the Jaguars this week who are great defending against the pass but rank bottom-10 in the league in run defense. The Jags rank 25th in DraftKings points allowed to running backs. The Titans are three-point favorites in the matchup. As long as the Titans remain competitive in the game, Henry will be fed the ball, and anytime the team gets around the goal line, Henry will be the one running it in the end zone. Plus, this is a late-season game against the Jaguars. Remember what Henry did against the Jags in their second meeting last year? Here’s a reminder \u2013 17\/238\/4. Let that sink in. Henry can be a bit boom\/bust because of his lack of work in the passing game, so he is best utilized in GPP lineups.<\/span><\/p>\n
