Colin Kaepernick (QB), (SF@MIA, $7,200, FPPG: 20):
In his game last week, Colin Kaepernick sported 238 PASS+RUSH YDS & 2 TDS and considering the weather and field conditions weren't the greatest to deal with at the time (due to wetness on the field), so he could've done a lot worse and actually did pretty good all things considered. He had a very similar game (stats wise) the week before and actually threw for a season-high 398 YDS in Week 9. Kaepernick goes up against a Dolphins team next that's been pretty tough against the pass this year and are ranked 12th overall in the NFL against QB's at the moment. However, since this pick is a mobile QB and Miami actually struggles mightily at stopping the run this season, Kaepernick may surprise in this one and do a lot better than most people think he will. His price tag won't kill you either, so if you're looking for a bargain at the QB position on FanDuel this week with a decent amount of upside, this is a pretty decent option to go with in Week 12.
Kelvin Benjamin (WR), (CAR@OAK, $7,000, FPPG: 11.3):
Kelvin Benjamin has really been quiet, for the most part, this season and really hasn't made his presence known since the first two weeks of the season. Now granted, it's true that it's not entirely his fault he's been struggling for quite some time now since Carolina starting QB Cam Newton hasn't had the best of seasons thus far himself this year, but all of that could change in a big way this week since Benjamin goes up against a weak Raiders D next that's allowed the 8th most REC Y/G and the 11th most REC TDS/G this season. This could be a huge bounce-back performance from the Panthers receiver in this one and for the reasonable price tag he's going for right now, he could be worth the gamble of selecting at this moment when it's all said and done. He's a viable option to go with on FanDuel in Week 12 that could very well finish with 100+ REC YDS and at least 1 TD for his NFL DFS owners, because after all, despite it all, he did at least get targeted 12 times against the Chiefs in a mid-November contest not too long ago, so expecting such numbers from him in this one isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Tyrell Williams (WR), (SD@HOU, $6,500, FPPG: 11.8):
Tyrell Williams has notably averaged 132.5 REC Y/G & 11.5 TAR/G in two out of his last four games (and had a season high 11 TAR in Week 10) and has caught at least 1 TD in each one of his last two contests. Williams continues to see a solid amount of looks from Chargers starting QB Philip Rivers and could be in line for another busy day offensively for San Diego in a matchup that, on paper, doesn't look like a very appealing one for him facing a Houston defense next that that's been very tough on receivers this year. He's also going to see teammate and fellow starting receiver Travis Benjamin back in action this week, so while he's unlikely to get as many targets this week as he did in the last week, it's hard to pass up on a receiver who's been as solid as Williams has been of late and who's priced in at such a low salary requirement at the moment. Because of that, I think he's worth taking a chance on this week in GPP/tourny play on FanDuel.
