| POS | NAME | OPP |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Brian Hoyer (HOU) | vs. NO |
| RB | Matt Jones (WAS) | vs. NYG |
| RB | Javorius Allen (BAL) | at CLE |
| WR | DeAndre Hopkins (HOU) | vs. NO |

| WR | Odell Beckham Jr. (NYG) | at WAS |
| TE | Delanie Walker (TEN) | vs. OAK |
| K | Justin Tucker (BAL) | at CLE |
| D/ST | Bengals | vs. STL |
Hoyer and Hopkins should form a lethal combo against a truly dreadful New Orleans pass defense. Jones and Allen are low-cost plays with the potential for high volume. Jackson and Beckham have sensational matchups. Walker should see plenty of volume even if Kendall Wright returns. The Bengals' defense is in for a big day against the Rams. -- James Bisson

| POS | NAME | OPP |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Brian Hoyer (HOU) | vs. NO |
| RB | T.J. Yeldon (JAC) | vs. SD |
| RB | Javorius Allen (BAL) | at CLE |
| WR | Demaryius Thomas (DEN) | vs. NE |
| WR | Larry Fitzgerald (ARI) | at SF |
| WR | Sammy Watkins (BUF) | at KC |
| TE | Rob Gronkowski (NE) | at DEN |
| K | Blair Walsh (MIN) | at ATL |
| D/ST | Bengals | vs. STL |
Choosing three low-priced, yet great matchup plays at QB and RB allows you to draft elite receivers. Thomas might be thrown at a lot in the second half, while Watkins has great downfield ability against a weak secondary. Fitzgerald and Gronkowski are target monsters, while Walsh has the advantage kicking inside the Georgia Dome. -- Josh Wegman

| QB | Philip Rivers (SD) | at JAC |
| RB | Doug Martin (TB) | at IND |
| RB | T.J. Yeldon (JAC) | vs. SD |

| WR | Amari Cooper (OAK) | at TEN |
| WR | Sammy Watkins (BUF) | at KC |
| TE | Heath Miller (PIT) | at SEA |
| FLEX | Stefon Diggs (MIN) | at ATL |
| D/ST | Bengals | vs. STL |
Rivers leads the NFL in passing yards and is coming off an atrocious 178-yard passing day in Week 11. Expect him to step onto the field Sunday firing on all cylinders. Yeldon runs against a poor Chargers run defense and should return value. Hopkins will have a high-ownership percentage in Week 12 due to his dominant Week 11 performance. -- David Chernish

| POS | NAME | OPP |
|---|---|---|
| QB | Brian Hoyer (HOU) | vs. NO |
| RB | Devonta Freeman (ATL) | vs. MIN |
| RB | T.J. Yeldon (JAC) | vs. SD |
| WR | DeAndre Hopkins (HOU) | vs. NO |
| WR | John Brown (ARI) | at SF |
| WR | Donte Moncrief (IND) | vs. TB |
| TE | Jordan Reed (WAS) | vs. NYG |
| FLEX | Javorius Allen (BAL) | at CLE |
| D/ST | Bengals | vs. STL |
Hoyer and Hopkins have a tantalizing home matchup against a Saints defense that looked no better without Rob Ryan in charge. If Freeman can return in Week 12, he'll take full advantage of a Vikings rush defense trending in the wrong direction. Yeldon and Allen represent great value at running back, and both are workhorses with great matchups. -- Esten McLaren
