7 NFL FanDuel Value Plays for Week 12

Eli Manning, QB, New York Giants

Price: $6,700

After last week worked out with some solid value, we can go back to the well with Eli Manning in Week 12.

For fantasy football purposes, this has really been a pretty solid season for Manning. He's averaging 16.0 FanDuel points per game, with at least 19 FanDuel points in four games, including in two of his last four contests.

He's in the midst of a four-game span in which he has completed 69.4% of his passes and averaged 283.5 yards and 1.8 touchdowns to only 0.5 interceptions per game. He is also averaging 8.84 adjusted yards per pass attempt over his last four games, which not only tops the 7.7 he is averaging on the year, but which tops his highest single-season mark of 8.1.

He's playing shockingly well and draws a quietly solid fantasy matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Getting thrashed for a QB1 performance from Drew Brees last week is obviously rough, but giving up a big game to Brees is forgivable. That was just the latest in four straight games of shaky play though, having given up finishes of QB6 to Dak Prescott, QB12 to Blake Bortles and QB3 to Cam Newton in their three games before that.

That's four-straight top-12 quarterback finishes despite the last four weeks including matchups with the season-long QB22 and QB25 in per-game FanDuel scoring. Not great.

numberFire's models have Philly ranked 16th against the pass, but they're giving up the NFL's 7th-most FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks, making this a soft spot for Manning.
