DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Helper: The Thanksgiving Slate
Contrarian
Stefon Diggs, WR, Minnesota Vikings ($6,300)
With how good Thielen has been this season, it's easy to forget how hot Diggs was at the start of the year. Thielen will likely see higher ownership, and while Diggs does draw the tougher matchup against Darius Slay, it hasn't bothered him much in the past.
Diggs has averaged 18.5 PPR points per game against the Lions since the start of the 2016 season. If the pendulum swings back from Thielen to Diggs, you could get him at very low ownership.
Ryan Grant, WR, Washington Redskins ($3,700)
With Terrelle Pryor done for the year, Ryan Grant has played 77% of the snaps in two of the last three games. He's also fourth on the team in targets since the bye. Vernon Davis has a good matchup against the Giants' leaky tight end defense, but without Chris Thompson, that leaves Josh Doctson presumably on Janoris Jenkins and Jamison Crowder on slot against Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie.
That leaves Ryan Grant against the burnable Eli Apple.
Hunter Henry, TE, Los Angeles Chargers ($3,300)
With two excellent tight end plays on the slate in Davis and Evan Engram, Hunter Henry could come in on very low ownership. That may be a mistake considering he's coming off a five-week high in routes run despite Rivers only dropped back to pass 32 times in a blowout win against the Buffalo Bills.
Dallas has given up big games to tight ends intwo of their last three games. Without Sean Lee on the field, Henry could have a solid performance.
