NFL Week 12 and Thanksgiving DFS Projections

Pass Yards

Dak Prescott - QB, DAL

It just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving without America’s team playing with all eyes on them. Dallas has dominated inferior opponents this year but hasn’t won any big games. Lucky for them, they play the Commanders on Thanksgiving.

Dak is averaging over 300 YPG in his last 5, about 30 more than his Thanksgiving projection. Despite a down week against Carolina, Dak is sure to come out swinging against the division rival.

CJ Stroud - QB, HOU

CJ Stroud has been electric all season long and doesn’t show signs of slowing down in his rookie year. The Houston quarterback has impressed veterans and coaches across the league and brought life to this Texans unit.

This week he takes on Trevor Lawrence and the Jaguars in an exciting divisional matchup. Stroud is projected to throw for 275 yards, 25 less than his 5 game average, but 30 more than his opponent and rising star Trevor Lawrence. Keep an eye on CJ Stroud for some more highlight reels this week.

Receiving Yards

Amon-Ra St. Brown - WR, DET

The Lions have been dominant this year and much of that is due to their offensive talent like receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. In his last 5 games he’s averaging over 113 yards per game. On Thanksgiving he faces the Packers and is projected at 84.5.

Keenan Allen - WR, LAC

Keenan Allen is having another monster year for the Chargers with the help of Justin Herbert. Though they keep losing close games, Keenan Allen is putting up serious numbers for the offense.

In his last 5 he’s averaging just under 100 YPG and he’s projected at 87.5 on Sunday night against the Ravens. It’ll be a tough matchup for sure, but Allen does well under pressure.

Rush Yards

Christian McCaffrey - RB, SF

It seems like every week we have to post something new about CMC and this incredible Shanahan offense. But you guys keep picking him so here’s another one for you. Closing out the Thanksgiving slate on Thursday, CMC and the 49ers take on division rival Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks. 

CMC is averaging just 63 rushing YPG in his last 5 games, but that should start to improve as he and the 49ers get healthier. This week he’s projected to go for 75.5 and if he stays healthy the 49ers should have no trouble against the birds.

Saquon Barkley - RB, NYG

Following a great and unexpected year in NY last year, the Giants have been nothing short of embarrassing and disappointing this season. From injuries to blowout losses, it’s been rough all around. Saquon Barkley is really the only positive light to mention this season.

He’s averaging nearly 90 YPG in his last 5 games, including a 128 performance against the Jets. This week he’s projected 75.5 against the Patriots and will need to carry this Giants offense if they want to win.
