Max’s NFL Week 13 DFS Picks

Well, last week was not so good in DFS. Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs did not deliver as I thought and my risk on Emmanuel Sanders sunk me. Nick Chubb, Wayne Gallman and Giants defense helped me out but I regret removing Derek Henry from my original lineup. Oops.

In standard league, technically have not won yet, but I will, and improve to 10-2. I have Chubb and Rodgers leading the way and Gallman and Rams D there too. The win clinches a playoff spot for me so fingers crossed there.

Stacks

I’m eyeing up Kirk Cousins and either Adam Thielen or Justin Jefferson should Thielen should still be out. Cousins threw for 307 yards and 3 TDs against the Panthers and he’s got 12 TDs to 1 INT over his last 5 games. Minnesota averages 6.5 more points per game at home than on the road and Jefferson slid into the top wide receiver spot with Thielen out.

Value

QB: Jared Goff (LAR) – Well, as much as I shit on Jared Goff, he can put up numbers from time to time and this week against Arizona is a good spot. The Cardinals are middle of the pack in passing yards allowed but more importantly, their secondary gives up big plays and touchdowns.

After this past week, Goff has to prove he’s got what it takes to win. This is a good spot for him.

RB: David Montgomery (CHI) – Not super jazzed about a Bears running back but he’s coming off a big game against Green Bay and playing a Detroit defense that ranks 5^th worst in the league in rush defense. Detroit has given up 21 TDs to running backs this season and Montgomery can catch TDs if Trubisky manages to think about it in the red zone.

WR: Robert Woods (LAR) – So consider this a value stack. Pair up Woods with Goff this week and spend big bucks on Dalvin Cook and Derek Henry if you want. Woods has seen 20 targets over his past two games and Goff has tossed 5 TDs to him this season – most on the team.

Woods did not have a big game against Seattle, but his other last 3 games have been productive. That includes torching Tampa for 130 yards and a TD. I expect a good performance this week in an important divisional game.

Bonus: Keke Coutee on Houston is another solid value option with Will Fuller being out for the season. Brandin Cooks becomes the defacto #1 there but with a slew of other injuries, Coutee becomes a potential payoff player.

Fades

QB: Matthew Stafford (DET) – The Bears defense has been embarrassed a bit as of late by Kirk Cousins and Aaron Rodgers. Stafford won’t be so lucky. He’s down some key weapons and the Bears will look to show that their defense is still for real.

RB: Duke Johnson (HOU) – There could be some temptation to gamble with Duke after Derek Henry shredded the Colts’ defense for 178 yards and 3 TDs. But Duke is not Henry and the Texans will go for the win with Deshaun Watson’s arm.

WR: Marvin Jones Jr. (DET) – Call this my reverse stack. With Golladay and Amendola out for Detroit, Jones will be Stafford’s top target. Which sounds tempting. But he’s also the guy that the Bears’ defense will focus on. Not something I’d want to risk.

Defense

I’m leaning towards the Raiders here. Crazy, right? Not really. They are playing the Jets and should be able to keep points down and get some turnovers. Yes, they are coming off a game where the Raiders lost 46-3 but the defense only gave up 21 of those points. They also had a sack and an INT.

Las Vegas does give up a lot of yards per game but with New York only averaging 268 total yards per game, I think they keep this under 300 yards. They held Atlanta to 304 and they don’t have the worst offensive coordinator/head coach in the league like the Jets do.
