Another Thursday game that I just do not like very much. On the Raiders side I would say there is not a single player that I find interesting for DFS this week. Sure, Latavius Murray will likely see more action and I like him in the season long format but there is just no reason to play a guy with that much downside in DFS.
I will predict however that the Chiefs will FINALLY throw a TD pass to a WR this week and my money is on Dwayne Bowe being that guy. I think he is a sneaky play this week as nobody will even think of that guy. Jamaal Charls is a must start for those wanting to have some action in the Thursday game. The Chiefs defense and kicker Cairo Santos are also in play tonight as far as I am concerned.
Here is the Thursday edition of the DFS NFL Playbook for Week 12.
