The NFL season is winding down and if your fantasy team is on the outside looking in at the playoff picture, now is a good time to put a few wagers in on DraftKings. Let's take a look at what some of those attractive wagers look like this week.
GAMES
Cincinnati Bengals 
+2 vs. San Francisco 49ers - If I'm worried about anything this game, it's that the Bengals' defense has been pretty bad all season. However, San Francisco has some defensive injuries and the Cincinnati offense is capable of putting up big points any given week. The 49ers are down to Jeff Wilson as their starting running back and I'm still not sure Jimmy Garoppolo is an NFL-caliber quarterback. This line has also shifted in a direction I like to take as the 49ers were originally +1.
Chicago Bears 
+12.5 at Green Bay Packers - I know, I know, Aaron Rodgers owns the Bears. This line just seems like a lot of points for a divisional game and the meeting earlier in the season was only decided by 10 points. I'm going to assume the upgrade from Andy Dalton to Justin Fields is a positive note and Allen Robinson will be back in the fold as well.
Washington Football Team 
+5 vs. Dallas Cowboys - I think this game could be the highest-scoring game of the week and I don't mind parlaying the over (48) with the Football Team. Dallas isn't impressive on defense and I like Taylor Heinicke as a quarterback. Fun fact: offensive coordinator Scott Turner was the only pro scout to show up to Heincke's Pro Day at Old Dominion and I think Washington would be wise to consider him the quarterback of the future.
PLAYER PROPS
Mike Williams OVER 65.5 Receiving Yards - I'd grab this number sooner than later as I would anticipate it going up as it gets closer to kickoff. Williams should see an uptick in targets with Keenan Allen officially ruled out and he's had at least five targets in each of his last eight games. Facing the Giants, especially at home, is a plus matchup.
Jeff Wilson OVER 58.5 Rushing Yards - While I know I picked the Bengals with the points, it doesn't mean that Wilson can't hit the over and I get Cincinnati right as well. This number seems low to me considering Kyle Shanahan like a run-heavy offense and if Wilson gets at least 15 carries, this seems like a very achievable over. The Bengals rank dead last at defending the position.
Zach Ertz OVER 3.5 Receptions (-150) - Ertz has gone over this number in two of his last three games and odd as it sounds, I like that he's coming off a one-catch game. The Rams are merely league-average against the tight end spot being the 16th ranked team against opposing teams.
PLAYER TOUCHDOWNS
Ricky Seals-Jones +350 - It almost seems to me that any tight end getting these types of odds is worth taking just given how much they are generally used in the red zone. Logan Thomas is out for the season so RSJ will be the main pass catcher from the tight end spot for Washington. Dallas is 22nd in terms of fantasy points defending the position making this a good matchup.
Travis Kelce -115 - I'm not in love with the odds but Kelce is coming off the worst game of the season fantasy-wise and the Raiders (31st in the league) are horrible against tight ends. This game has a healthy over/under (48, and I like the over) so there should be a good amount of touchdowns scored by the Chiefs.
Jalen Guyton +200, Josh Palmer +290 - This is one of those weekly cases where I like taking both players and if either one of them scores, you're going to profit. There's also the upside that both score and both should be a big part of the passing attack with Keenan Allen out. Weather won't be a concern and the Giants have traveled a lot in the last two weeks.
