It's a very special edition of DFS picks. The holidays are just around the corner, and it's time to give out some DFS wisdom.
Here are this week's picks:
QB: Ryan Tannehill, MIA, $6,900
Tannehill isn't an ideal choice but he is a roll of the dice to allow for better players on the rest of the roster. The Dolphins' quarterback faces the Chargers, a middle of the pack defense. Tannehill had a solid game against the Giants -- 236 yards and a touchdown.
RB: Eddie Lacy, GB, $6,900
Lacy carried the ball 24 times for 124 yards and a touchdown last week. The Packers' offense has scuffled all season, and they may have found a boost in Eddie Lacy.
RB: David Johnson, ARI, $6,500
Johnson has rushed for 92 and 99 yards over his last two games against solid defense -- Minnesota and St. Louis. He is a solid gamble at this price.
WR: DeAndre Hopkins, HOU, $8,700
The ball didn't get to DeAndre Hopkins against the Patriots. I don't think that will be the case for the second week in a row.
WR: Julio Jones, ATL, $8,600
Jones hasn't reached 100 receiving yards his last three weeks, but he did have 15 receptions over the last two games for 181 yards -- a solid haul. Jones faces a defense that has given up the eighth most receiving yards this season -- 261.7.
WR: Golden Tate, DET, $6,900
Tate is a member of the Lions, who face the Saints this week. New Orleans is the only NFL team giving up 300-plus passing yards per game. There goes the pick.
TE: Delanie Walker, TEN, $6,300
Walker has collected over 70 yards in his last four games. Tight ends are a crapshoot, but Walker is a solid, cheap option.
K: Dustin Hopkins, WAS, $4,500
Washington is at home and are playing against a tough Bills defense -- I expect a few stalled drives in field goal range.
DEF: Pittsburgh Steelers, $4,600
The Steelers have recorded 37 points over the last two weeks. This week they face Brock Osweiler. That should be money in the bank for the Steelers.
