The best way to cash on weekly fantasy football sites is to load up on as many stars with good matchups as possible. Due to budget restraints, however, fantasy players must sacrifice other positions to nab the stars they want.
Here, you'll find the top bargains at each position on Draft Kings that will let you splurge elsewhere on Thanksgiving.
Top Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 12
Quarterback
Mark Sanchez, Eagles ($5,200): By no means was Sanchez good on Sunday, but for fantasy purposes he got the job done. Three interceptions will always be annoying, but he also piled up 261 yards and threw two touchdowns. Detroit’s pass defense is very forgiving, and the Eagles desperately need the win, so count on a big game. Let's just hope he can shake off a particularly bad Thanksgiving memory.
Running Back
Eddie Lacy, Packers ($4,700): Lacy looked healthy on Sunday and received 22 carries, with which he chewed up 100 yards and looked like he did last year. It’s possible that Lacy has been hurt all year, and is ready to resume administering pain on his rushing attempts. If so, this week is an excellent time for that, because the Bears rank 28th against the run.
Johnny Football is Showing That Rehab Helped Him Very Little
Wide Receiver
Davante Adams, Packers ($4,700): Adams saw 21 targets in Week 10. That dropped to four vs. the Vikings on Sunday, but that had more to do with Eddie Lacy doing damage on the ground. If Lacy’s back, that balances the Pack attack and makes every player more dangerous. Adams has the right combination of ability and cost.
Tight End
Brent Celek, Eagles ($3,200): The Lions are very bad (27th) against tight ends, and Celek is the only show in town with Zach Ertz appearing unlikely to play on a short turnaround following a concussion on Sunday.
