3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in Week 12
Michael Crabtree, WR, Baltimore Ravens
FanDuel Price: $5,400
DraftKings Price: $4,600
This section could be titled "All Baltimore pass-catchers", but we'll focus on Michael Crabtree since he has the "revenge narrative" against his former squad.
The big takeaway from Lamar Jackson's debut last week was that the value of the Ravens' wide receivers has officially died. The Ravens ran the ball a staggering 50 times, including 26 carries from their rookie signal caller. Jackson attempted just 19 passes, and 8 of those went to slot receiver Willie Snead in what amounted to glorified dump-offs. The Ravens are huge 11-point favorites over the Raiders this week, so he may actually have to throw even less if Baltimore is milking a lead in the second half.
With Joe Flacco not practicing, and the Ravens content to run their quarterback over 20 times, we can safely downgrade all Ravens' receivers for as long as Jackson is under center. For that reason, it's best to avoid guys like Crabtree until further notice.
