DraftKings Main Slate for Week 12 - Defense/Special Teams (DST)
Kansas City Chiefs vs CAR:
Kansas City Chiefs - $3900
The #Panthers used to present the way to go, but they've only allowed 3 and 4 points in the last two weeks. The #Chiefs' defense is better than the #Giants and #Saints, but their 5 points or fewer in the previous three weeks make it a tough climb to the high price of 3.9k. They are highly welcome but don't drive yourself nuts trying to stuff them in there.

Minnesota Vikings vs CHI:
Minnesota Vikings - $3400
The #Vikings remain the number one defense, scoring 11+ points in four of their last five games. They are mispriced at 3.4k, especially considering the #Bears allowed 6, 16, and 12 points in the last three weeks and 11 and 21 points to the #Vikings last season. They should be popular. #Vikings

The #Commanders' defense disappointed when expected to deliver (CHI (5), NYG (4)), but arrived against the #Panthers with 16 points in Week 7. The #Cowboys allowed 19 and 20 points in the last two weeks. It should arrive...right? #Commanders

Chicago Bears vs MIN:
Chicago Bears - $2500
A lower-priced option lands with #Bears, who haven't produced much, scoring a ceiling of 9 points and a floor of 4 in the last five weeks. The #Vikings, while solid, have provided 11 and 16 points in two of the previous three weeks, with the #Titans' defense scoring 4 points as the outlier. Last year, the #Bears scored 14 and 10 points against the #Vikings. It's not a bad shot if you can't pay up. #Bears
