Monday Two-Game Week 13 Slate
Washington vs. Pittsburgh (-8.5), 42.5 O/U
Buffalo vs. San Francisco vs. (-2.5), 47.5 O/U
DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks
Ben Roethlisberger, QB - vs. WSH ($6,400)
Big Ben has been playing well this season as he has thrown for 2,800 passing yards so far this year while connecting on 25 passing touchdowns and only throwing six total interceptions thus far. Roethlisberger has had four straight games with 40+ pass attempts while also averaging 2.5 passing touchdowns per game during that stretch. This will be a tough test for this Pittsburgh offense as Washington is allowing 217.4 passing yards per game which is the second-best in the league in regards to defending against the pass, so Pittsburgh will need Big Ben to be reliable with the football and limit the mistakes. With his price point at $6,400, Roethlisberger looks to be a solid play in all formats as he has surpassed double-digit DK points in every game this season which offers a safe floor but also has great weapons around him which can help you get a ceiling game out of him as well.
Josh Allen, QB - vs. SF ($7,300)
The price tag is high for Josh Allen which makes him more of a tournament type play on this two-game slate. Allen was off to a blistering start to the season but has cooled off a bit, partly due to him turning the ball over more frequently over his last four games played (four interceptions over that span). A major part of Allen's upside is his rushing ability and this is something that can't be ignored as he has had a rushing touchdown in three out of his last four games played. Josh Allen offers the highest upside at the quarterback position off all of the options but gets a tough challenge as San Francisco limits opposing offenses to just 215.9 passing yards per game which is the best in the league. This should be a good back and forth game and if it remains competitive, we could see Allen look to use his legs more which means more fantasy upside for him.
DraftKings DFS Running Backs
Raheem Mostert, RB - @ BUF ($5,800)
Raheem Mostert looks fully healthy and we have seen him excel when he is full go. Mostert saw 16 rushing attempts for 43 yards in his return while also recording a rushing touchdown as well. The 49ers want to establish the run and Mostert offers them the best chance to do so. One thing that Mostert offers is big-play ability and speed as he has broken off a 10+ yard run in every single game he has played. The matchup against the Bills is very good as they are allowing 129.6 rushing yards per game to opposing teams so with San Francisco's commitment to the ground game and the overall matchup, Mostert could be the best point for dollar play on the slate.
Antonio Gibson, RB - vs. PIT ($6,500)
If you really want to find a bright spot in this Washington offense, look no further than Antonio Gibson. Gibson has transformed into an all-around back for the Washington Football Team this season and really looks to be the guy moving forward for them. Gibson has received double-digit touches in three straight games and even more impressive, he has scored seven rushing touchdowns over his last four games played. Gibson also has a slight edge on other running backs as he was a wide receiver at Memphis so he has really good route running capabilities which make him viable as a receiving threat as well. The Steelers Defense has been a top defense in the league as they rank third in passing yardage allowed per game (218.6) and rank eighth in the league when it comes to allowing rushing yards per game (105.7). Gibson will get his touches but could be really viable in the passing game should Washington fall behind early.
DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers
Chase Claypool, WR - vs. WSH ($6,100)
One of the safer receiving options on this slate is Chase Claypool. He has seen a high volume of targets per game and is averaging 10 targets per game over his last four games. In addition to his targets, he has produced five straight games of hitting double-digit DK points which is ideal if you're looking for receiving options for your cash game builds. Claypool leads the Steelers with eight touchdown receptions and seems to have Big Ben's attention down in the red-zone so looks to be one of the favorites to score a touchdown on this slate.
Stefon Diggs, WR - vs. SF ($7,500)
Diggs has really emerged as a top receiving threat in the league and his stats are definitely reflecting his strong 2020 season. Diggs has seen the third-most targets in the league (111) while also carrying the second-highest target share percentage in the league at 27.8%. Diggs is second in the league when it comes to receptions (80 catches) and has had double-digit DK points in every single game this season. The Bills will need Diggs to perform well if they want to pull out the win against a stingy 49ers secondary and if you have enough salary cap to squeeze him into your lineup, it would be wise to do so.
Brandon Aiyuk, WR - vs. BUF ($5,100)
If you're needing a bit of salary relief, Aiyuk could be a solid play in all formats in the low 5k price range. The 49ers are really relying on Samuel and Aiyuk in the passing game and with his recent performances, you could feel comfortable putting him in your lines. Aiyuk has seen 31 targets over his last three games played and has recorded a touchdown reception in two of those games. He leads the 49er receiving group with three receiving touchdowns and has the largest target share of all 49er receivers on the season. Aiyuk is building some strong rapport with Mullins over the past several weeks and this is definitely showing so we should expect him to be involved early and often in the passing game.
DraftKings DFS Tight Ends
Eric Ebron, TE - vs. WSH ($4,400)
Ebron has been a top tight end over the past several weeks and his price tag definitely does not reflect this. Ebron has seen 30 targets over his last four games played and has hauled in two receiving touchdowns over that four-game span. One thing that is really encouraging is that Ebron has eclipsed double-digit DK points in five out of his last six games played which shows the consistency he offers while also showing that he is being utilized offensively in every game. Ebron looks to be the top tight end play on the slate and at his price, it is hard to pass up on him in all formats.
Jordan Reed, TE- vs. BUF ($3,200)
One thing we know is that tight ends are often used in a Kyle Shanahan offense which means Jordan Reed is certainly in play. While he might not offer the upside as George Kittle does, he has seen 5+ targets in three out of the last four games played. Reed is just $3,200 which does open things for the rest of your lineup which could be needed on a two-game slate like this. The Bills Defense is allowing over 250 passing yards per game which mean there will be some opportunities for Reed to rack up some yardage and contribute from an offensive standpoint. While he isn't the safest play on the slate, his price point and potential involvement in the offense is too good to pas sup in tournament builds.
