NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks for Week 12 - Top Lineup Plays Include Jayden Daniels, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jared Goff, Puka Nacua

Top FanDuel daily fantasy football lineup picks for Week 12 DFS in 2024. Dennis Clausen's NFL DFS picks for building winning NFL DFS lineups on FanDuel in Week 12.

It’s already Week 12, although the end of the 2024-25 campaign can’t come soon enough for teams like the Jaguars, Raiders, Giants, and Panthers, to name a few. On the other hand, clubs like the Bills, Chiefs, and Lions are only a few weeks away from officially punching their tickets to the postseason.  

In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 12 daily fantasy football lineup picks for FanDuel and the 2024 NFL season. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel.

Be sure to also check out our weekly DraftKings DFS lineup picks and other great NFL DFS articles and NFL DFS tools to help you WIN BIG!

Week 12 FanDuel Quarterbacks - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jayden Daniels – vs. DAL ($9,000) 

Washington and Dallas will meet on Sunday for the first of two NFC East matchups between the teams this season. Without question, the Cowboys are a mess.

While those associated with the franchise are hoping things will get better, that’s unlikely to happen against Daniels and the Commanders on Sunday. The signal-caller is well on his way to winning the Rookie of the Year Award.

Granted, he has cooled off somewhat since the beginning of the season. But with the Cowboys defense having trouble stopping opposing quarterbacks, especially mobile ones, Daniels may be in line for a stellar outing.  

Jared Goff - at IND ($8,500) 

Goff has been a top fantasy quarterback all season, so much so that he’s currently in the running to be named the league’s Most Valuable Player. The 30-year-old struggled in the Week 10 win over the Houston Texans, tossing five interceptions.

Yet, he made up for it in Week 11 versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, throwing for 412 yards and four touchdowns. While the Colts haven’t been terrible defensively, the team has surrendered 2,546 passing yards this season, the fifth-worst mark in the National Football League.  

Also Consider: Geno Smith (vs. ARI, $7,400) 

 

Week 12 FanDuel Running Backs - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jahmyr Gibbs - at IND ($8,600) 

Gibbs continues to get it done as a runner and a pass-catcher. He is two scores away from tying the mark he had as a rookie, and he’s averaging 6.0 yards per carry.

The 2023 No. 12 overall pick had played well all season. But Gibbs has been even more potent since the Lions' Week 7 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, amassing over 100 yards twice while finding the end zone at least once in all but one game.

He’s as reliable as it gets for fantasy managers, giving him plenty of upside in Week 12 versus the Colts.  

James Conner - at SEA ($7,700) 

Barring an injury, Conner is working his way toward a second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season. He also has five touchdowns in 2024-25, with two occurring in the last three games.

There is potential for more trips to the end zone for the 29-year-old in Week 12 versus Seattle. In five career meetings against the Seahawks, Conner has scored in all but one of those games.

While he has gone for over 100 yards on the ground just once against Seattle, he’s more than capable of making up for it on the receiving end.  

Also Consider: Saquon Barkley (at LAR, $10,000), Christian McCaffrey (at GB, $9,500), Kenneth Walker III (vs. ARI, $8,100) 

 

Week 12 FanDuel Wide Receivers - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Puka Nacua – vs. PHI ($8,600) 

Nacua missed some time this season because of a knee injury. However, since getting back on the field, he’s had at least seven catches in three of his previous four appearances.

He also caught his first touchdown of the 2024-25 campaign in the Week 11 win over the New England Patriots. With that said, Nacua’s rostering cost is a bargain for Sunday’s meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles, even with a challenging matchup on the horizon. 

Courtland Sutton - at LV ($7,100) 

Sutton made the Pro Bowl in 2019. Unfortunately, he hasn’t been a reliable fantasy option ever since. Sure, he missed nearly the entire 2020 season with a knee injury, and he also had a career-high 10 touchdowns in 2023-24.

But the 2018 No. 40 overall pick has had one of his most consistent stretches in recent memory, catching at least six passes in each of his last four games while going over 100 receiving yards twice during that span.

The Broncos are hoping to sneak into the playoffs. For that to happen, Bo Nix must continue to play well, meaning Sutton should continue to get looks in his direction.  

Also Consider: Amon-Ra St. Brown (at IND, $9,500), DK Metcalf (vs. ARI, $7,900), Jaxon Smith-Njigba (vs. ARI, $7,500), Michael Pittman Jr. (vs. DET, $6,300), KaVontae Turpin (at WSH, $4,700 - If CeeDee Lamb is ruled out) 

 

Week 12 FanDuel Tight Ends - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Hunter Henry – at MIA ($5,200) 

Many of the tight ends in the NFL haven’t met expectations from a production standpoint in 2024-25. But Henry has played better than most had envisioned.

He has had some bad performances for fantasy managers. But the 29-year-old is coming off a six-catch, 63-yard showing in the Week 11 loss to the Rams. With 66 targets, the fourth most at the position, Henry should remain involved in the AFC East showdown with the Dolphins on Sunday.  

Also Consider: Travis Kelce (at CAR, $7,200), Dallas Goedert (at LAR, $6,100)
