The Week 12 NFL main slate begins Sunday at 1 p.m. EST and features 10 games. The participants of the three Thanksgiving Day games (Packers-Lions, Commanders-Cowboys and 49ers-Seahawks, Friday’s game (Dolphins-Jets), Sunday Night Football (Ravens-Chargers) and Monday Night Football (Bears-Vikings) play outside the main slate. Yahoo will run plenty of NFL DFS contests for Week 12, but the biggest is the Holiday Weekend Baller, which pays out a guaranteed prize pool of $140,000 to the top 1,524 finishers, including $15,000 to the winner. You can submit up to 150 entries into this contest, which has a maximum total capacity of 8,200 entries but will still run if it doesn’t fill, potentially providing you with enhanced odds of winning, also known as overlay.
Playing in guaranteed prize pool (GPP) contests is about chasing upside, while lineups geared toward head-to-head, 50/50 or double-up formats should prioritize high floors. The players you want to target for these different contest types aren’t mutually exclusive, but winning a GPP tournament usually requires finding a hidden gem or going against the grain in a spot or two, while building a solid base of the same chalk plays you would use anywhere. Against-the-grain plays typically consist of big-name players in tough matchups or boom-or-bust types with uncertain roles.
Keep in mind that Yahoo DFS contests use 0.5 PPR scoring rather than full PPR, which lowers the comparative value of wide receivers and running backs (in that order) while especially affecting high-volume pass-catchers. Your NFL $140k Holiday Weekend Baller lineup will consist of one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one FLEX (RB/WR/TE) and one D/ST unit. Suggested Week 12 options include a rookie QB-WR stack, as well as two RBs who have underperformed relative to preseason expectations but could turn things around against vulnerable run defenses.
