Welcome to the NFL DFS Optimal Lineups for Week 12!

With three games off the board already the options are supposed to be narrowed but after studying the match-ups, looking at implied points totals and a variety of other factors, we have boatloads of possibilities. In addition to the DFS Playbook, I also put together a DFS GPP Dart Board this week to house a few names I like as potential long shots. If we're going to get out exposure to the Rams/Saints game while also adding in some of ourr favorite, high-priced players, we may have to take some real chances with regard to our tournament play today. I'll provide you with my usual fare, but don't be surprised to see a late GPP tournament addition just for the heck of it.

Keep in mind, and I cannot stress this enough -- Don't be lazy. These lineups are not intended for you to just take and plug in as your own. These should serve as templates as I work off the Playbook. If you have other plays you prefer, then use them. Weave them in to these, if you can. There's nothing worse than hearing someone come back to say they took your lineup, plugged into some contest they probably shouldn't have entered and then complain about it afterewards. We are about teaching the process, not lineup selling.
