Six of the 11 games being played on Sunday have NFL spreads of six points or greater, according to the latest Week 12 NFL odds from the SportsLine Consensus, which could signal heavy running back production. Larger underdogs include the Cowboys (vs. Commanders), Titans (vs. Texans), and Patriots (vs. Dolphins). Quarterbacks Cooper Rush, Will Levis and Drake Maye won’t be expensive for NFL DFS lineups, so is there value in including them in cheaper NFL DFS stacks with players like Jalen Tolbert, Calvin Ridley or Demario Douglas? This will save money for some of the top options in the NFL DFS player pool.

Top NFL Week 12 DFS picks for Sunday
One of the Optimizer’s top DFS value picks for Sunday is 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings ($5,600 on DraftKings and $6,700 on FanDuel). Jennings had 10 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown last week after having seven receptions for 93 yards the week before. He had 11 targets in each contest as has taken on a primary role in the offense with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) out for the season.
Jennings has played more than 90% of snaps the last two weeks. Of the three games he has played at least 85% of snaps in, Jennings is averaging 9.3 receptions for 119.7 yards with four total touchdowns. The 27-year-old leads the 49ers in receiving yards despite only playing eight games and drawing more than six targets in just three of those eight. With Aiyuk out, expect the targets and production to continue on Sunday. See who else to pick here.
The Optimizer’s NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Cardinals running back James Conner ($6,500 on DraftKings and $7,700 on FanDuel). The 29-year-old running back is coming off the one thing nearly every eight-year NFL veteran loves — rest. The Cardinals had their bye last week, so Conner could rest his legs after being one of the most relied-upon backs in the league this year. Conner is 11th in the NFL in carries as he’s played at least 80% of snaps in two of Arizona’s last four games.
Conner had 113 total yards in Week 10 against the Jets, including a 45-yard catch-and-run on the opening series. After his receiving touchdown was overturned on replay, Conner ran in the 1-yard score to still return an incredible opening drive for daily Fantasy football players. He has at least 110 total yards in three of his last four games heading into a matchup against the Seahawks, who have allowed the fifth-most rushing yards to running backs this season and are allowing 138.6 total rushing yards per game this year.
