Building the Perfect NFL DraftKings Lineup For Week 13

There are several big tournaments on DraftKings this week. Some are purely for the Thanksgiving Day matchups, and others are for Sunday and Monday's games. This perfect lineup will be for the latter.

The Dolphins just got torched on the road against the Denver Broncos, but this crew is still the second-highest scoring D/ST in fantasy football. This week, they will get the much more friendly New York Jets offense that scores the third-fewest points per game in the NFL.

5. QB: Philip Rivers - $6,000

Rivers' price tag is oddly low this week, even for someone with just two touchdown passes in his last three games. He'll be facing one of the NFL's worst pass defenses with the Baltimore Ravens. Rivers is still the ninth-highest scoring fantasy football quarterback. Expect a bounce-back performance, and take advantage of his price.

4. TE: Travis Kelce - $4,300

Kelce has slowed down a bit after a hot start, but he should be getting plenty of targets on Sunday night. The Denver Broncos are going to score, and the Kansas City Chiefs will have to throw the ball to keep up. Kelce is the Chiefs' best pass-catcher, and he's up against one of the most fantasy-friendly defenses to opposing tight ends.

3. WR: Mike Evans - $7,300, Odell Beckham Jr. - $6,800, Kenny Stills - $4,800

Evans is the eighth-highest scoring fantasy football wide receiver. His price is pretty good for a player who should be treated like a stud. By DraftKings scoring, Beckham Jr. has averaged 24.78 points over his last five games. Get him this cheap while you can. With Brandin Cooks on the IR, Stills had season-highs in both targets and receptions last Monday.

2. RB: C.J. Anderson - $6,900, Tre Mason - $4,600

You have to roll with Anderson until he slows down. He's averaged 26.1 DraftKings' points per game since becoming a starter. He'll face a very soft Kansas City Chiefs run defense on Sunday night. Mason is a great value play this week against the Oakland Raiders. He will get his first truly soft run defense since taking over the St. Louis Rams' backfield.

1. Flex: Denard Robinson - $6,000

Robinson got a little more involved with the passing game this week with four grabs for 47 yards. That's promising when you consider DraftKings gives a point for each reception. He'll also be at home facing the New York Giants, owners of the NFL's second-worst run defense.
