The Week 12 NFL schedule is loaded with thrilling matchups on Sunday, but several of them are expected to be defensive battles. Four games feature NFL betting lines of 37 points or fewer, so star offensive players in those games might not be productive Week 12 NFL DFS picks. There are also multiple games with totals close to 50 points, though, which can be one tool to use when building a Week 12 NFL DFS strategy. The Bills and Eagles are meeting in a blockbuster on Sunday, with quarterbacks Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts going head-to-head.

Hurts had a pair of rushing touchdowns in a win over Kansas City on Monday, but he also threw for a season-low 150 yards, zero touchdowns and an interception. Should you grab Hurts from the stacked Week 12 NFL DFS player pool? Before locking in your Week 12 NFL DFS picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, you need to see what Mike McClure has to say.

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with more than $2 million in career winnings. He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends, and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings.

He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair of top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1% in more than a dozen other tournaments. Last year, he won the DraftKings Millionaire Maker twice and the FanDuel Million once.

Now, McClure has turned his attention to the Week 12 NFL schedule on Sunday and locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see them by heading to SportsLine.

Top NFL DFS picks for Week 12

One of McClure’s top NFL DFS picks for Week 12 is Jaguars receiver Christian Kirk at $5,700 on DraftKings and $6,800 on FanDuel. Many expected Kirk to take a step back when the Jags added Calvin Ridley, but that hasn’t been the case. He’s on pace to top the 84 receptions and 1,108 receiving yards he had last season. Kirk leads Jacksonville in targets (77) and has averaged 73.7 receiving yards over his last nine games.

One of those games came against Houston in Week 3, when Kirk had a 4-54-1 stat line. The two divisional rivals will reunite on Sunday, giving Kirk another chance to exploit the Texans’ 25th-ranked pass defense. Over the last two weeks alone, Houston has allowed two separate WRs to produce 100-plus yards, as well as given up three touchdowns to wideouts. As someone priced outside the top 15 wide receivers on both FanDuel and DraftKings, Kirk is a steal at these NFL DFS price tags.

Part of McClure’s optimal NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Cardinals tight end Trey McBride at $4,700 on DraftKings and $6,100 on FanDuel. Since Zach Ertz went on IR prior to Week 8, McBride has stepped up and been one of the best players at his position. He has the fifth-most Fantasy points among tight ends over the last four weeks, averaging 72.8 receiving yards over that stretch.

McBride was still sharing snaps with Ertz back in Week 6 when the Cardinals took on the Rams, who are Arizona’s Week 12 opponent. Even with that, McBride led Arizona with four grabs and 62 yards, while the two tight ends combined for 84 receiving yards. That’s just a microcosm of what tight ends have done versus L.A. all season, as it has given up the sixth-most Fantasy points to the position. The Rams have allowed two touchdowns to tight ends over the last three weeks, and McBride’s Fantasy potential has only grown with Kyler Murray back at quarterback. See the rest of McClure’s NFL DFS player pool right here.
