Hunter’s Corner - Fanduel Daily Fantasy Football Player Picks, Strategy and NFL Injury Roundup For Week 12

Last week was pretty good for me. I doubled up on my investment but didn’t have anything crazy like Kevin did. Congrats by the way Kevin. Score big in a huge GPP is what it is all about….I love making money week to week in heads up and 50/50 competitions, but I am really just trying to spread it around enough to have a shot at the big win. I really would love to make it to Vegas this year and those hopes are fading as we near the end of the season. But any kind of a top place in a big tourney would be amazing.

Since this past week the league did not fill up completely – I don’t have any new update for you on Hunter’s corner league.

Here

is a link to this week’s Hunter’s Corner League if you want another
crack at it – It is a 15 person league paying out the top 3 spots – I am knocking it back down to 15 this week since we failed to fill the 20 person team by 1 person last week due to the late nature of these posts. https://www.fanduel.com/entry/DUTRKEFQN?invitedby=huntersinclair&cnl=ba

**Editors Note – We
are bumping up our eBook Promotion this week! In addition to the DFS
Pro Strategies book we already send out which focuses on advanced themes
for lineup construction, contrarian theories, Psychology of winning,
etc. I’m adding in link to download a second book which is like an
expanded version of our Fanduel Winning Strategies series.

different lineup construction techniques for the different types of
contests. It is over 200 pages of lineup construction theories backed up
by research and charts. There is a whole chapter on why HtH is better
to play long term then 50/50 with statistics and charts to back it up.

So now on to Week 12:

Some

quick notes about injuries listed below since my report might not match
100% with others. I am mostly not including any players below who were
listed
as probable or questionable-but practiced fully unless I noticed that
they are returning from being injured in previous weeks and are an
impact player. Any player listed as
questionable was limited at practice. Any player listed as doubtful
either was doubtful on injury report or was questionable-but did not
participate in any practice yet. Any player listed as out is out or on
IR.

*Players or Teams listed and highlighted orange are those who I believe will have impact on performance based on injuries. Green players are impact players who look to play who might be either returning or were questionable.

Teams/Players to get benefit from above:

– With Fitzy possibly sidelines for ARI – you could consider Michael Floyd or even Josh Brown as a flyer to pickup extra work. They have a tough matchup in SEA, but this is a fairly solid team that is finding ways to win games. Ellington also gets a bump here.

– Keep an eye on Carpenter at kicker for BUF since he is somewhat limited. If you are using him. Also F. Jackson is looking like he will be back this week – although it is a tough matchup against the Jets.

– CIN – G. Bernard does look like he will play, how they will split the ball there seems hard to predict.

– CLE – avoid J. Cameron – he is out due to concussion. This gives a bump to WRs and Josh Gordon is back with something to prove this week. Let’s see if he delivers.

– DEN – Hillman and Ball are still out – Roll with C.J Anderson again. Sanders WILL play – so avoid the backup dude like Caldwell and such due to the uncertainty. I would also avoid Sanders myself – you never know how a hard hit like he took last week will affect his confidence…Going to give him a week to shake it off. MIA defense still looks strong and STL showed last week on how you need to play DEN to win. Julius Thomas is still questionable – but he may play as well – probably not but it is enough uncertainty to avoid Tamme.

– DET – Bush is questionable again – this is good for J. Bell. Tate and Megatron look healthy to play.

– HOU – A. Foster isn’t looking like he will play – still questionable. Worth watching to see if you want to play him or not – I don’t like groin injuries since there is a good chance to re-injure mid game even if he plays. I will avoid most likely.

– IND – with Allen out at TE – Fleener gets a bump in my mind – we can see he did well last week with the added looks. Any player in IND is good this week.

– MIA – even though L. Miller is questionable he looks like he will play – might be a good option on DKs. Clay is out at TE.

– MIN – J. McKinnon and Ben Tate look to be the RB options in MIN this week. Since they picked up Tate it is hard to say who will get the work – but my guess would be that Tate gets goal line work like Asiata was doing. Might be worth a shot, but I am more inclined to try McKinnon with the thought that it might take Tate a week or so to get familiar with the new program.

– NO – Roll with M. Ingram again due to other injuries at RB…full load. K. Stills is a decent option with some GPP upside potential due to B. Cooks out for season.

– PHI – obviously M. Sanchez is still in play.

– SEA – Lynch will play but has been fighting back problems…looks like a normal week for him though. SEA has some injuries on the line though which could affect protection.

– STL – Jared Cook is questionable – so maybe look elsewhere

– TB – Martin and Sims are still out – Load should fall to B. Rainey

– TEN – D. Walker looks like he is fully back.

– WAS – J. Reed is out again – so back to Niles Paul if you need a cheap TE option. WAS also is fighting Offensive line injuries which will hurt their protection.

** Update **
I missed A. Robinson who was put on IR last week due to foot fracture. Hurns and Shorts look to benefit from this. I suspect Hurns will see the most upside since he will get the start, but Shorts should be relied on more as well and he already gets a bunch of looks.

Major Defensive Injuries are highlighted above, but a couple worth mentioning:

– ATL without a starting CB
– CHI with lots of injuries all around
– CLE without LB Dansby most likely and DE P. Taylor out for season.
– DET without DT Fairley
– HOU without a starting CB Jackson
– IND without a starting CB Toler
– MIA without a starting CB most likely (Finnegan) also Misi looks to play at LB
– NE without starter CB Chandler Jones
– NYG without a starter DT and LB but they have Cromartie and Kiwanuka back at CB/DE
– SEA without several players (mainly backup guys – and bobby wagner at LB looks to be back.
– SF look to have a couple key injuries at CB and LB which are questionable.
– TB also without a LB and CB at questionable.
– TEN looks to have a couple questionable injuries at CB and LB.
– WAS has a starting DE out.

I like PHI against TEN injuries. I like CHI against the TB injuries. I like TB against the CHI injuries. I think a couple key positions on WAS are worth it against injuries on SF defense. And I really like some of the WR options against NYG secondary. CLE receivers against ATL seems good too.

That’s all for this week folks…
