4 DraftKings Studs to Target in Week 12

George Kittle, TE, San Francisco 49ers

DraftKings Price: $6,200
Projected Points: 12.6

The San Francisco 49ers are on the road to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in what could be a very high-scoring affair between two bad teams. The 49ers have a 25.25-point implied total and the Buccaneers have a hefty 28.75-point implied total. While San Francisco is currently a 3.0-point underdog, there is one player I want to target across all formats in Week 12.

George Kittle has been an absolute stud this season. While he doesn't carry strong name recognition or brand, he has been a saint for fantasy football teams and DFS rosters alike. Kittle has cleared the 83 yards receiving mark in five of the last seven games while hauling in at least four receptions in each game.

While he only has three touchdown on the season, his receptions and yardage have allowed him to remain incredibly reliable at a very thin and volatile position. Kittle has scored double-digit DraftKings points in all but two games this season. He's even managed to score over 20.8 points on three occasions.

Is he a stud? Maybe, that remains to be seen if he can make himself into a household name. But for our Week 12 DFS purposes, he has the potential to deliver like one, especially against a Bucs defense that numberFire's models have ranked only 30th against the pass.
