DraftKings Quarterbacks - Week 12 - Thanksgiving Day DFS Picks

Kirk Cousins (at DAL, $5,900) 

Kirk Cousins is a great option at the quarterback position this Thanksgiving. There are only three games, so the quarterbacks are very limited. Cousins posted over 30 fantasy points in his last game, which was against the Green Bay Packers. He threw three touchdowns and 375 yards on only 30 pass attempts. This week, Cousins will have to bring his 'A' game, as the Dallas Cowboys are a very tough opponent. He should throw the ball around 40 times, as the Washington Redskins attempt to pick up a big win.

DraftKings Running Backs - Week 12 - Thanksgiving Day DFS Picks

Le'Veon Bell (at IND, $9,000)

Le'Veon Bell is the best fantasy running back in the league, especially now that he is playing wide receiver half of the game. He has over 34 fantasy points in two straight games now, and this Thanksgiving, he gets a great matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are horrible defensively, and the Steelers should have little issue scoring early and often. In his last game, Bell was targeted nine times in the air and ran for just under 150 yards and a touchdown on the ground.

Rob Kelley (at DAL, $4,300) 

Rob Kelley is now starting for the Washington Redskins. Anyone that watched the Redskins' running back situation closely this season could have predicted this. Kelley looked great every time he touched the ball this season, and now it all paid off. He ran for over 125 yards and scored three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers last week. He gets a tougher defense this Thanksgiving, but his price tag is low enough to roster him in all leagues.

DraftKings Wide Receivers - Week 12 - Thanksgiving Day DFS Picks

Antonio Brown (at IND, $9,200)

Antonio Brown is a little bit more expensive than Le'Veon Bell, and he is worth every single penny. Ben Rothelisberger was out for a couple of games with an injury, but he is back, and Brown is thankful for that this Thanksgiving. Against the Dallas Cowboys, he posted over 35 fantasy points on 18 targets. He had over 150 receiving yards and a touchdown. He has not been finding the end zone as frequently as he should, but that is liable to change any week with the amount of targets he is getting. Use him in all leagues.

Pierre Garcon (at DAL, $3,900) 

Pierre Garcon is finally starting to get involved in the Washington Redskins' offense. In the last two weeks, he has 17 targets and 12 receptions for just under 200 yards and a touchdown. The Dallas Cowboys are not great defensively against the passing attack, and Cousins will be looking toward Garcon more frequently now. His price tag is very low, so he makes for a great tournament flier this week.

DraftKings Tight Ends - Week 12 - Thanksgiving Day DFS Picks

Jason Witten (vs WAS, $3,200) 

Dak Prescott is looking toward Jason Witten on a very reliable basis now. In the last three weeks, he has seven or more targets in every game. He gets a good matchup this week against the Washington Redskins' mediocre defense, and his price tag is down. Obviously, Jordan Reed is the best tight end on the board, but if a cheaper option is needed, Witten could do wonders for tournament lineups.

DraftKings Defenses - Week 12 - Thanksgiving Day DFS Picks

Minnesota Vikings Defense (at DET, $3,400)

The Minnesota Vikings score touchdowns on the defensive end of the ball more than any team in the league. The Detroit Lions are expected to win this game, and Matthew Stafford has been good this season, but with limited options and expected high-scoring affairs, the Vikings are the best defense on the board. Use them in all leagues.
