NFL
4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 12
Russell Wilson continues to throw up huge scores, but can we trust him in Week 12 to anchor our daily fantasy football lineups?

Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks

DraftKings Price: $7,000
Projected Price: 22.0

The Seattle Seahawks should be able to handle the San Francisco 49ers with ease in Week 12, and quarterback Russell Wilson continues to be the main beneficiary of a more pass-heavy offense in the pacific northwest. It shouldn't stop in this matchup, as we project him to score 22.0 DraftKings points.

Over the last five weeks, Wilson has scored 29.4, 39.1, 25.6, 19.4, and 32.9 DraftKings points. In each of these performances, he's thrown multiple touchdowns. He is throwing the ball more than ever before and his 2,801 passing yards rank second in the NFL.

The 49ers are allowing 246.3 passing yards per game, which feels like it could be Wilson's floor. He's third in red zone passing attempts and third in deep passing attempts. Anytime we can lock in a quarterback who throws the ball deep and in the red zone, we are raising the floor and ceiling of our lineup simultaneously.
