We normally like to find some sort of general theme for a week’s slate of games, and the one that is blatantly clear is the abundance of running backs at our disposal. There are so many options – especially inexpensive ones – that it actually became more difficult to pick our wide receivers.
Based on our expected Week 13 DFS game flow analysis performed earlier, we can carry our thoughts into actual lineup positions. The long list of players that fit the requirements set forth by the projected flow of the game was cut dramatically by the requirements set forth by salaries.
Below are Sporfolio’s DFS Week 13 Plays:
Quarterback
Tom Brady – The Patriots’ offense hasn’t been quite what some may expect, and the matchup against the Vikings doesn’t look particularly good at first glance. Those two factors are likely the cause of seeing Tom Brady priced down below $6,000 for the first time this season. All week we have preached that this game has the potential to be high-scoring, and if that is to happen, Brady is going to have to be a big factor. Last week, the Patriots were able to run the ball like crazy, but they likely won’t have the same luxury against a tough Vikings front. The Patriots possess a unique assortment of receiving talents between James White, Josh Gordon, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots should be able to utilize these players to create as many mismatches as possible which should allow Tom Brady to produce throughout this game.
