NFL Week 12 action is here. Here are five recommended plays to help you win big in DraftKings GPP and cash-game competitions.
TE MARK ANDREWS, BALTIMORE RAVENS ($6,500 ON DRAFTKINGS) @ JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS
- Baltimore boasts a promising 23.5-point implied team total at BetMGM.
- Baltimore’s offensive line garners a 22.0% pass-blocking matchup advantage rating in PFF’s OL/DL matchup chart, ninth-best on the week.
- Tight end Mark Andrews (81.5 PFF receiving grade) comes in with a chalky 10.5% rostership rate in PFF’s ownership projections, but his delectable $6,500 salary is $1,200 less than that of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. He’s a high-end option in both cash games and GPP tournaments and should be considered as a flex play for lineup differentiation.
- Nos. 1 and 2 wide receivers Demarcus Robinson (hip, 70.3 PFF receiving grade) and Devin Duvernay (hamstring, 70.7 PFF receiving grade) are questionable.
- No. 2 tight end/featured pass-catcher Isaiah Likely (61.6 PFF receiving grade) appeared on the injury report Friday with an ankle ailment.
- Andrews gets the NFL’s premier tight-end-versus-linebacker matchup against Jacksonville’s Devin Lloyd (37.6 PFF coverage grade).
- PFF’s TE matchup chart gives Andrews a 14.0% matchup advantage rating, fourth-best on the Week 12 slate.
