DFS Building Blocks – Week 12

SUNDAY MORNING UPDATE:

Still looking at Brady passing stack and a Burrow stack in my secondary lineup. Both are pretty far down the expected ownership list, but I'm leaning Burrow because Henry is less than 5% ownership. I love playing him at low ownership as a great pivot away from some of the value RB options, notably Perine. A Burrow instead of Perine lineup, paired with Henry, gives us some nice leverage on the field. I'll likely lean to stacking with Boyd for the salary savings, but I haven't ruled out playing Burrow naked. It's not inconceivable that Chase plays, and even if he doesn't, could see Burrow get four TDs but spread them out so none of his pass catchers put up a monster game.

Weird week at WR where Allen and Deebo are expected to be really popular. Both have injury issues and other weapons that their teams can prioritize. Those ownership levels seem like a mistake, meaning we don't have to go out of way to get leverage on the field this week. Just build smart, correlated lineups and we'll be starting ahead already.

-------------------------------------------------------------

It seems like weeks ago now that Barkley and the Giants DEF put up a stinker ruining our Fields + Cooper lineup. Even ruined our Patterson return TD.

It was a really low scoring week overall. Perhaps the lowest I can remember in recent years. Had we gone Robinson (who didn’t do much) + Washington DEF instead of Barkley last week we’re in business. Hopefully you got there. I thought about swapping from Barkley to Pollard Sunday morning simply because he was projecting to be so low owned, but I expected Elliot to bounce back pretty well. He did, but Pollard also was the top RB of the day. That actually led to a nice pivot away from Pollard for our Thanksgiving lineups.

Initial Reactions

Seattle vs Las Vegas jumps out to me. If Murray is fully healthy, which he seems to be, the public should be on this game as a potential shootout. On a less obvious note, Washington vs Atlanta could, Cincinnati vs Tennesee could, and Jacksonville vs Baltimore could. We’ll likely be able to find some low-owned spots that we can differentiate.

Speaking on 93.7 The Fan, Aaron Rodgers' biographer, Ian O'Connor suggested Rodgers could join the Steelers by the end of May.
"Personal issues" pertaining to Rodgers and members of his inner circle have been cited as one of the primary reasons the 41-year-old quarterback has yet to sign with the Steelers. O'Connor says he has a "pretty good sense" of what those issues were before adding "I don't think it's something that would prevent him from playing football." The Steelers' underwhelming quarterback room remains one of the more clearcut signs that the door is open for Rodgers and he can come walking through when ready. Rodgers threw for 3,897-28-11 last season with the Jets and would be joining a team with a thin receiver room behind D.K. Metcalf. That said, he'd likely be tasked with playing more of a high-level game manager role with the Steelers in 2025, as Arthur Smith proved once again last season that his team will lean heavily on the run after boasting a league-high 51 percent rush rate in neutral scripts last season.

Nola.com's Jeff Duncan reports signing Aaron Rodgers "is not under consideration" for the Saints.
Rodgers and the Saints never made much sense, but for those curious about a possible union between the two, it seems highly likely at this point. Rodgers is 41 and will likely be looking to join a team he views as a championship contender (the Steelers), or he will retire. The Saints also have rookie second rounder Tyler Shough, who is a virtual lock to start in Week 1 barring what would need to be a wildly disappointing training camp. Other veteran options still exist, and could be brought in to play alongside Shough and offer experience to one of the league's least-experienced quarterback rooms, but it looks like it is still Pittsburgh or bust for the future Hall of Famer.
