Sunday Night Football DraftKings Picks: DFS lineup advice for Chargers-Ravens Showdown tournaments in NFL Week 12 Sporting News
The Chargers and Ravens, two AFC teams with high-flying offenses but polar-opposite defenses, face off in Los Angeles this weekend for the latest edition of Sunday Night Football.
Today we will share our optimal DraftKings Showdown lineups for this conference clash, and hopefully help you close out the weekend with some daily fantasy cash.
Both these squads know a lot about the injury bug, but it’s L.A. that has suffered the worst luck over the past couple months.
The Bolts were without stud running back Austin Ekeler for three weeks earlier in the season. Two of their top receivers, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer, are on IR.
Tight ends Gerald Everett and Donald Parham have both been banged up for weeks. And now, perhaps the dagger of all daggers, Joey Bosa just hit the IR with a foot sprain.
The Ravens have navigated injuries as well, most notably losing top running back J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending injury earlier in the year and suffering some hits to their defense and pass-catchers.
But Baltimore has weathered the storm nicely, sitting at 8-3 with an eye on a first-round bye in a year that has landed many AFC powerhouses in injury-ravaged peril.
Will the Ravens stomp the Chargers and put Bolts head coach Brandon Staley out of his hot-seat misery? Or, will Los Angeles hold court and save its season with a massive victory over one of the better defensive squads in the NFL? This one will almost certainly be tough to bet, but we think it’s an easy one for which to craft a DraftKings lineup.
Just like our approach with finding the best bets each NFL week, we scour DraftKings for the best DFS values ahead of every Sunday night game and assemble what we deem to be an optimal lineup.
Our approach each week is simple: research, compare values, and make roster-building moves that will separate us from the rest of the DFS pack.
