DraftKings Thanksgiving Slate for Week 13 - Quarterback (QB)

The #Bears, ranked 3rd against QBs on the season, are 21st ranked in the last three weeks, allowing 21 and 24 points to Jordan Love and Sam Darnold in the previous two weeks (Drake Maye (12)). While this should assist Jared Goff toward his 26-point mark, he's scored 15 points or less in the last five weeks outside his 37-point thrashing against the #Jaguars. The current three-game trend against the #Bears is the most appealing, as his history against Chicago is 22 points or fewer in his career, 18 points or fewer in every game but one, and 16 points or fewer last season. With the rest of the options being a challenge, he's worthy of play, but keep in mind that he's the highest-priced QB on the board, which will lessen your build. #Lions

By the numbers, the #Giants' QBs have the best matchup on the slate against the #Cowboys, who allowed 31 and 32 points in the last two weeks. Since Week 2, Dallas has allowed 15+ points, except in Week 4 to the #Giants, where Daniel Jones scored 10 points. Tommy DeVito did not participate in practice today, so expect Drew Lock to go. Both quarterbacks have a mark of 18 points, where if DeVito goes, he lands likely low-owned compared to Lock, who should become a fairly popular play. I like the sneaky appeal of DeVito, where he could surprise, but assuming Lock goes, I like him to hit his mark with high ownership. #Giants

The #Lions haven't allowed a QB to score more than 12 points since Week 8. Caleb Williams has scored 16 and 29 points since seeing an abysmal 10 or fewer in the previous three weeks. Maybe the division game, as the last two upticks were against the #Packers and #Vikings, or garbage time can prevent Williams from reverting to his less production, but it presents like a climb to his 21-point mark. Fortunately, he's cheap enough to build around if you want to take your shot. #Bears

Tua is returning to form after injury, scoring 23 and 31 points in the last two weeks. The #Packers have kept the passing game quiet, only allowing 28 points once since Week 5, limiting QBs to 16 points or fewer. While Tua has hit for the last two weeks, those opponents were the #Raiders and #Patriots, which could return him to his 17 points or fewer in the three weeks before those improvements. It's a climb to his 24-point mark, but he has the weapons to find those splash plays. I'd like it better if it was at home. #Dolphins

Jordan Love has been quiet, only producing 21 points once over the last five weeks, 18 or fewer points in four games, and 14 or fewer points in three games. His mark of 25 points presents challenges with his low production and the #Dolphins allowing 18 points or fewer in the last three weeks. The positive spin in the last three weeks was against Drake Maye, Gardner Minshew, and Matthew Stafford. Oddly, Stafford only produced 10 points and Minshew and Maye scored 18 and 15, which I'd lean as favorably for the latter's outputs. Before that production, Josh Allen and Kyler Murray scored 23 and 25 points, but the remaining opponents scored 13 points or less from Week 1 to 7. It's going to be a climb. #Packers

Cooper Rush was limited on Monday and Tuesday's practice as of writing this, and I'd expect a full go today (Wednesday). He's scored 17 and 19 points in the last two weeks, so he's playable toward his 19-point mark against the #Giants. New York has allowed that mark in two of the last three games (Bryce Young (12)). The appeal is the discount and if you want to step away from Lock's ownership. Rush has enough weapons to surprise, and Brandin Cooks may return, which can help. He's played decent enough that he shouldn't destroy your lineup, but it doesn't point to a ceiling game, as the #Giants' defense is respectable. #Cowboys
