NFL DFS Week 12 Dart Board: Top Value Picks For DraftKings & FanDuel

Published: Nov 24, 2024
Week 12 of the NFL season is here which means it's time for another Fantasy Alarm NFL DFS Dart Board, this time for Week 12 as we look to add some high upside GPP plays that didn't end up making into this week's NFL DFS Playbook.
The Week 11 NFL DFS Dart Board was another success as we hit touchdowns with Marquez Valdes-Scantling for the second straight week and had a big week from Nick Westbrook-Ikhine.
Mike Williams, Davis Allen and JuJu Smith-Schuster on the other hands all came with 0 fantasy points as is the risks with the dart board.
NFL DFS Week 12 Dart Board Preview
Week 12 of the NFL season is always an interesting week because we are now trying to figure out which Week 11 performances we can trust and which Week 11 performances we can't.
For the dart board and top value DFS picks, that can be especially difficult because we are looking for those low rostered, and sometimes cheap home run hitters than can be put into our GPP lineups and help us differentiate from the masses while also having a chance to put up a big score.
Make sure you check out this week's NFL DFS Show below as Howard Bender, and I take a deeper dive into the slate as we take a position by position look which includes a few callouts that will be in this NFL DFS Week 12 Dart Board.
Top Value DFS Picks - Week 12: DraftKings & FanDuel
QB Coach | RB Coach | WR Coach | TE Coach | DST Coach | Watch List | Dart Board
Pos (Click to sort ascending) | Player (Click to sort ascending) | Matchup (Click to sort ascending) | DK (Click to sort ascending) | FD (Click to sort ascending) |
---|---|---|---|---|
QB | Brandon Allen | SF @ GB Sun 4:25 | 4000 | 6000 |
We have a min-price QB that is surrounded by top tier talent this weekend with Brandon Allen filling in for the injured Brock Purdy. Allen has been on a few times and has started games before so this isn't the case of an unknown or untested player getting the nod. Add in the fact that we have a Kyle Shanahan offense and I'd much rather trust Brandon Allen over Tommy DeVito this weekend. Game Type: GPP Weather: Rain | ||||
RB | Ameer Abdullah | DEN @ LV Sun 4:05 | 4300 | 5000 |
Many are also looking at Dylan Laube this week but at least with Abdullah we know he will get the passing game work and he likely sees more carries than he is use to receiving as well. If picking the RB in Las Vegas this weekend to roster I'm going with the veteran. Game Type: GPP | ||||
WR | Kendrick Bourne | NE @ MIA Sun 1:00 | 3600 | 5200 |
After not seeing a snap against the Chicago Bears we saw Bourne active and making an immediate impact in the Patriots passing attack. At times Bourne is the most impactful receiver on the Patriots roster and if he's going to play 50+ percent of the offensive snaps then he is worth a dart throw. Game Type: GPP Weather: Mostly cloudy | ||||
WR | Nick Westbrook-Ikhine | TEN @ HOU Sun 1:00 | 4100 | 5500 |
Why not right? NWI has 15 catches this season and five of them have gone for touchdowns. Last week he had the 98 yard touchdown and with opposing defenses focusing on Calvin Ridley, he has been making plays with the opportunities given to him. Game Type: GPP Weather: Mostly sunny |
