DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Helper: The Thanksgiving Slate

Studs

Antonio Brown, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers ($9,200)

The most expensive player on the slate, Antonio Brown, is actually available at a $300 discount compared to Week 10. Brown is priced this high for a reason. He ranks top-five in targets, receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns, and Total NEP among all wide receivers. Brown's consistent volume -- double-digit targets in all but two games this season -- makes him worthy of anchoring your lineup each and every week. His matchup with the Indianapolis Colts this Thursday isn't particularly daunting. Vontae Davis and Rashaan Melvin rank well outside ProFootballFocus' top-30 ranked cornerbacks (82nd and 61st, respectively) in what should be a plus-matchup for Brown.

Le'Veon Bell, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers ($9,000)

Le'Veon Bell is coming off a big game last week against the Cleveland Browns, gaining 201 total yards and setting a career-high with 36 touches. The Colts' defense ranks bottom-12 in schedule-adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP, and they have allowed five different running backs to score 20-plus fantasy points against them. Bell is averaging more than 25 fantasy points per game and more than 25 touches per game. Pittsburgh is currently an eight-point favorite, and Bell ranks third among all running backs in Total NEP, making for a fantastic play in tournaments and cash games.

Ezekiel Elliott, RB, Dallas Cowboys ($8,500)

Speaking of stud running backs, Ezekiel Elliott's ceiling is worth chasing in this matchup against the Washington Redskins. Washington has allowed the fifth-most rushing touchdowns and ranks 24th in Adjusted Defensive Rushing NEP. The last time Zeke played Washington, he finished with 21 carries for 83 yards and a touchdown with a pair of receptions. Elliott has had 90-plus rushing yards and at least 17 touches in every game since Week 3. His consistent production and volume make him a stud very much worth pursuing on this slate.
