Which game and/or team are you targeting or fading in Week 12 based on a high Vegas total?
- Browns are strong favorites at home against the Dolphins
- Falcons-Buccaneers with big total and expected shootout
- Seahawks-Eagles: Does the health of the Eagles offense play a role?

Jameis Winston is questionable with a knee injury, but presuming he practices this week, the Falcons/Buccaneers is a must-target part of DFS builds this week. Neither defense is good, although the Falcons defense has looked completely transformed in the last two games. Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are both elite and affordable, and Calvin Ridley is enticing because his price didn't jump enough after last week's breakout. While some may doubt Ridley's Week 11 performance, remember the team is now without Austin Hooper. Ridley's target share has never been safer.

Tampa Bay at Atlanta will be the stock answer here (rightfully so), so I'll take Seattle at Philadelphia. Russell Wilson stacks will be popular, and DK Metcalf could end up super-chalky if Tyler Lockett can't make it back, but I prefer the Philadelphia side in GPPs.
The Eagles are a short home favorite (-1.5) and Carson Wentz and his pass-catchers are priced way down. If Alshon Jeffery sits again, you can stack Wentz with Dallas Goedert (six targets last week) and Nelson Agholor (nine targets last week) for a combined 12% of your salary cap (DraftKings), allowing you the freedom to play high-priced chalk elsewhere in your lineup.

For the first time all year (I think), I’m going to fade the Buccaneers heavily. The Falcons defense has, oddly, looked impenetrable in back-to-back matchups. Not to mention, last week Jameis Winston (frustratingly) started to spread targets around a good bit. One of the big weekly Tampa Bay draws is the fact that, typically, two extremely talented guys are going to dominate opportunity. If names like Cameron Brate and Scotty Miller are going to eat into their shares, then I’d rather save cap room and ditch the big ownership. If I enter a single lineup into a massive tournament this week, it won’t have anyone from this game. I’ll take on a big advantage if the Falcons coast to another 24-9 type of win.
