Cory’s Week 12 DFS Picks – 2020 Edition

I was a Terry McLaurin touchdown-saving tackle away from a big boost to my defense’s numbers on Thanksgiving. Instead, the Texans stole the show as the best low-cost option with JJ Watt’s interception and touchdown return. Thankfully, I had Washington in most of my lineups, as I indicated I would in Wednesday’s blog post.   Alex Smith had a rough game, too, as my value quarterback. I only used him in one lineup, so it didn’t hurt me too badly. Hopefully you all also knew that Deshaun Watson was by far the best value at QB on Turkey Day, even if his price as too high for me to include in my write-up.   With only two games on Thursday, there wasn’t as much need to find super value plays. Big scorers like Amari Cooper and Will Fuller, both of whom I had several shares of, weren’t so expensive as to prohibit you from enjoying other big money players like Watson and McLaurin.   The only player I went in heavy on, and wish I hadn’t, was Ezekiel Elliott, who I thought would have...

Cory’s Thanksgiving DFS Picks – 2020 Edition

It’s been a while since I had as successful a week on FanDuel as I did last week, but I finally put together another 8-0 week to put a solid dent in the deficit I’ve run to this point in the season. Deshaun Watson wound up as the top fantasy scorer in Week 11’s Sunday main slate and Taysom Hill didn’t disappoint and, quite frankly, would’ve been well worth the start at quarterback, as well.   Justin Jefferson’s late touchdown saved an otherwise disappointing day. The Chargers underperformed but were still a top-third defense. And only Kareem Hunt was utterly disappointing and at least he scored a touchdown late (it would’ve been nice if he could’ve crossed the goal line on his first-quarter 4th & goal opportunity, though).   In all, including Watson and Hill, I had shares of seven of the top eight fantasy scorers on the FanDuel platform in Week 11!   Now I get a couple of opportunities to win some money back with some Turkey Day entries and another Sunday main slate t...
