3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 12
With Lamar Jackson at the helm, Michael Crabtree's value is nearly nonexistent. Which other players are worth fading this week?

Andy Dalton, QB, Cincinnati Bengals

FanDuel Price: $7,500

DraftKings Price: $5,300

Andy Dalton has underwhelmed lately, and it's no surprise given that he has been without his alpha number-one receiver A.J. Green for a couple weeks.

The "Red Rocket" has averaged only 14.1 FanDuel points per game over the last two, as the Bengals seem to be hitting their annual late-season swoon. the Browns are surprisingly holding their own in terms of pass defense this year, despite giving up the third-most passing yards per game (288). More important than the yards, they have only surrendered a 16:13 touchdown-to-interception ratio to opposing quarterbacks.

Green is trending out again, and perhaps most telling about the outlook for this game is that Cincinnati is only a three-point favorite at home against the Browns. Vegas doesn't have much confidence in Dalton and the Bengals, and outside of a great spot for Joe Mixon, we shouldn't either.

Given the surprisingly mediocre matchup against a talented Cleveland secondary, coupled with the likelihood that the Bengals rely on Mixon, Dalton is best to be left alone in Week 12.
