DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Helper for Week 12

Defenses

High-Cost Option: Arizona Cardinals $3,900

As stated earlier, 10-point favorites make for an easy call in which defense to target. Add to that the fact that the Cardinals have been one of the top scoring fantasy defenses on the year, and you have your no-brainer defense to start of the week. $3,900 is well worth the price of admission to get the Cardinals as your defense for the week going against a San Francisco squad giving up the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing D/ST's on the season.

Mid-Cost Option: Cincinnati Bengals $3,000

Taking on the Case Keenum-led St. Louis Rams, the Bengals are favored in this matchup by nine points. This is another easy call to make this week, as the Bengals defense has averaged 8.5 fantasy points over their last four games in some difficult matchups.

Low-Cost Option: Tampa Bay Buccaneers $2,500

If looking to save a few pennies, consider the Buccaneers. They take on the Matt Hasselbeck-led Colts and have put up 18 and 12 fantasy points against their last two matchups with backups Mark Sanchez and Matt Cassel. The Colts are ranked towards the middle in opposing fantasy points allowed to D/ST's, but the Buccaneers have been on a tear recently, forcing backup quarterbacks into mistakes.

GPP Wildcard: New York Jets $3,200

If looking to avoid the masses going the Arizona, New England, or Cincinnati, take a look at the Jets. Their price tag has them in a tricky spot where most people will likely find a way to pay up for one of the top defenses or save with Cincinnati, in what could result in low ownership numbers. The Jets were able to sack Ryan Tannehill three times in their last matchup and came up with two interceptions. They will look to repeat that performance this week at home in New York.
