Week 12’s FIQ Five: 5 Players To Optimize Your DFS Lineup

Discover BTA Sports’ top DFS picks for Week 12. Use our projections to maximize your daily fantasy lineup.
Week 12 is setting up to be a strong slate for daily fantasy, with several games that could turn into shootouts and plenty of players in prime positions to post big numbers. A few clear mismatches also make certain options even more appealing. Here are my top five DFS picks to help you build a winning Sunday lineup:

1. QB Jalen Hurts (Proj: 24.0 / DK $6,600)

After poor back-to-back weeks against good defenses, Hurts is hoping to bounce back against Dallas’ struggling secondary. Hurts put up 24.3 FPTS against the Cowboys Week 1, and is likely to dominate again this Sunday against the 32nd-ranked defense against quarterbacks this season.

2. RB Travis Etienne (Proj: 10.4 / DK $5,900)

Travis Etienne is having an under-the-radar season, averaging 14.9 fantasy points per game. Even in a split backfield, he has managed to run for 729 yards and 6 touchdowns. He faces a Cardinals’ defense ranked 23rd against running backs this season.

3. WR CeeDee Lamb (Proj: 18.5 / DK $7,900)

Just like Hurts, CeeDee Lamb will be hoping to replicate his Week 1 performance, where he put up 21 FPTS in that matchup against Philly. The Eagles have been one of the top defenses against the pass in the last few weeks, but Lamb has been consistently putting up numbers since coming back from injury.

4. WR Wan’Dale Robinson (Proj: 16.5 / DK $5,500)

Robinson struggled last week against the Packers, but that was mainly due to Jameis Winston getting his first start of the season. He still got 9 targets, so we should expect Jameis to look for him again this Sunday. This game is being projected as a blowout, so we are riding on some garbage time for Robinson to have a healthy performance.

5. TE AJ Barner (Proj: 11.3 / DK $3,300)

AJ Barner had his breakout performance last week, grabbing a career-high 10 receptions against the Rams. Our model ranks him as the 3rd-best option at the tight end position, giving him insane value for your DFS lineup.
