If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired numberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 12: Wide receivers
DeAndre Hopkins is coming off a huge week and is set for another one. We break down the fantasy projections for FanDuel.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 12:
Top tier
DeAndre Hopkins had a nice trip to Revis Island last week and apparently he bought some timeshare because he is expected to go on another stat vacation against the New Orleans Saints. He's the most expensive player, but he's someone you should play this week. Julio Jones should be heavily targeted with Devonta Freeman out, but he gets a bad matchup.
Bargains
We still don't know for sure if Danny Amendola will play and he's a big injury risk in-game, so use him at your own risk. Stevie Johnson has to be the favorite for best value. He has very few other receiving options around him and gets a good matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Kamar Aiken is an option, but that means you're trusting Matt Schaub.
Elite players with subpar matchups
Antonio Brown will likely see a lot of Richard Sherman, but the Seattle Seahawks aren't nearly as tough of a matchup as they used to be. Mike Evans is also one of the toughest guys to count on for players over $8,000.
