DraftKings Main Slate for Week 12 - Running Back (RB)

By the numbers, Kareem Hunt lands the best matchup against the #Panthers, who are sporadic with production against them. While we prefer the best matchup to have safer floors, 19+ points have arrived in the last two games. With Isaiah Pacheo's return delayed another week, expect Hunt to be a popular play toward his likely 22-point mark. #Chiefs

Aaron Jones hasn't produced to warrant any chase here, scoring 12 points or fewer in his last four games, but when he was with the #Packers, he had a history against the #Bears that is glaring, scoring 21+ points in all but one game since 2021. While that is there, the #Bears only allowed 23 points last week to his replacement with the #Packers and limited RBs to 18 points or fewer since Week 6. Feels a little sneaky. #Vikings

Brian Robinson's numbers have been down to 14 points or less in his last four games. While his numbers are down, so is his price, which only asks for a 22-point mark against the #Cowboys, who offer a ton of volatility to the position. Dallas has allowed 21+ points in five games this season, including 33+ in three and 19 points or fewer in five games, including 9 points or less in three. I lean toward the #Commanders getting back on track, which goes through BRob. #Commanders

The #Broncos have allowed 14 points or fewer in seven games this season, which includes against the #Raiders (Abdullah (14), Mattison (10)). While they aren't the best matchup, Ameer Abdullah and Dylan Laube are on the radar because of their prices, and Alexander Mattison and Zamir White are inactive. Sincere McCormick will likely move up from the practice squad. It is hard to trust the outcome, but their low marks keep them in consideration, with Abdullah as the favorite. #Raiders

The chase for Audric Estime was warned regarding a similar situation to the one where Tyler Baddie landed earlier in the season. Javonte Williams re-arrived, scoring 18 points last week against the #Falcons. Estime only snapped 22% to Williams's minimal 51%. The #Broncos land a good matchup against the #Raiders, who allowed 19+ points in three of the previous four weeks and 20+ in the last two weeks. Williams is priced low enough not to kill your lineup, but ensure you move with the understanding that the #Broncos and Sean Payton are inconsistent with their usage. #Broncos

The #Giants started the year allowing RBs to score 18 and 17 points in the first two weeks and then limiting RBs to 14 points or fewer from Week 3 to 6. Since then, they've allowed 17+ points, including 28 and 29 points in two games. While the #Buccaneers get Mike Evans back, they've relied heavily on Cade Otten and their running backs to fill the void. While there should be production here, it's primarily a split backfield with a third party, which is never great for fantasy predictions. Sean Tucker is an extremely risky dart, only snapping 13% over the last three weeks, while Rachaad White and Bucky Irving are in solid consideration. White snapped 59% in the last three weeks and produced a better ceiling with 9, 29, 16, 12, and 19 points in the last five weeks, while Irvin snapped 45%, producing a better floor of 18, 16, 15, 6, and 17 points. Both are in play, with White having a slight edge. #Buccaneers

Tyrone Tracy has three games of 19+ points and two games of 7 or fewer points in the last five games. His price of 6k is fair toward his 24-point mark, but his lack of floor creates some risk against the #Buccaneers, who provide a solid opportunity, allowing 16+ points in the last five games and 21+ in three of the last four games. He's snapped 73% in the previous three games and 80% in his last game—fair price with solid upside. #Giants
