Week 17 FanDuel Tournament Pivots

Wide Receiver

Chalk:

Jordy Nelson and Mike Evans are both coming off of big games and are in great spots this weekend. Julian Edelman and Michael Thomas should both be popular mid-priced receivers, while Allen Robinson, Cameron Meredith, and Golden Tate will likely see the highest ownership among value plays.

Pivots:

Doug Baldwin, $7,100 (at San Francisco 49ers): Doug Baldwin saw a ridiculous 19 targets head his direction last week against the Arizona Cardinals, which he turned into a career-high 171 yards and a score. After teammate Tyler Lockett left with a leg injury, Russell Wilson locked in on Baldwin, sending 43.8 percent of his passes towards him. This week, the Seattle Seahawks have the fourth-highest implied team total on the board (26.25 points) in a game they have to win if they want a chance at a first-round Bye in the playoffs. The San Francisco 49ers rank seventh-worst in schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per drop back and FanDuel points allowed to receivers and allowed 164 yards and a touchdown to Baldwin in their last meeting.

Pierre Garcon, $5,600 (vs New York Giants): Pierre Garcon continued his steady fantasy production in Week 16, topping 11 FanDuel points for the sixth time in the past seven weeks. No Washington Redskins receiver has played more snaps or seen more targets than Garcon this season, and while his five targets last week were down a bit, that was mostly due to the fact that Kirk Cousins only attempted 29 passes. Against a New York Giants ranked seventh in rushing yards allowed but just 22nd in passing yards allowed, expect a more pass-heavy approach for Washington in Week 17.
