High-Cost Option: DeAndre Hopkins $9,100
The $300 price hike after torching Darrelle Revis is warranted, but so must be finding a way to put DeAndre Hopkins in your lineups this week. The Texans-Saints game has the highest implied point total this week, and Hopkins could go nuclear in a favorable matchup. New defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will have his hands full trying to figure out ways to slow Nuk with a terrible secondary. The Saints have allowed the 13th-most receiving yards and are tied for the second-most receiving touchdowns allowed to opposing wide receivers. Hopkins has already put up nine touchdowns on the season and is just one away from being the first Texan to post double-digit receiving touchdowns in franchise history. Delvin Breaux has proved to be mortal in coverage and will likely be shadowing Hopkins in this week's matchup. Breaux has had 30 targets against him in his last four games, allowing 17 catches for 398 yards and 7 touchdowns -- presenting Hopkins a terrific opportunity to rewrite franchise history in Week 12.
Mid-Cost Option: Martavis Bryant $5,600
On a per game basis, Martavis Bryant ranks in the top-10 in fantasy points per game and continues to be underpriced. $5,600 is an outstanding price for a receiver that's averaging 20.6 fantasy points per game and gets a sneaky good matchup against Seattle's Cary Williams. Williams has allowed the Legion of Boom to be susceptible to big plays this year, something Bryant should capitalize on, as 7 of his 22 receptions have been for 20-plus yards. Through just 11 games this season, the Seahawks have already given up more 20-plus yard passing plays and 20-plus touchdowns than they have during the entire 2014 season. Despite that, the Seahawks as a whole aren't necessarily giving up fantasy points to the receiver position (third-fewest), but they have shown to be susceptible to let downs in some big games this year.
Low-Cost Option: Kendall Wright $4,400
Returning from injury, Kendall Wright should be flying under most radars (hence the drastic price reduction of $700) and represents some terrific value. Averaging 6.6 targets per game, Wright has seen steady volume his direction so far this season. He gets a terrific matchup against Oakland's D.J. Hayden, who's been burned in the slot for much of the season as their defense has ranked as the second-worst schedule-adjusted passing defense.
GPP Wildcard: Brandin Cooks $6,400
Brandon Cooks' early season inconsistencies haven't been lost on most DFS players. After averaging 12.6 fantasy points over his first seven games, Cooks has exploded as of late, scoring five touchdowns over his last three games and averaging 23.8 fantasy points in the process. The high combined point total points to this game being a shootout, and Cooks stands to be one of the biggest benefactors on the Saints offense. The Texans are ranked in the middle of the pack in fantasy points and receiving yards given up to wide receivers, but this game script points to heavy usage in the passing game. Opponents have thrown the ball 66.67% of the time against the Texans in their last three games -- fourth-highest in the league. Cooks presents great volume and upside at an affordable $6,400 price tag to warrant GPP consideration.
