NFL DFS DraftKings Cash Picks: Week 12 (Fantasy Football)
NFL DFS cash games are all about building a high-floor lineup that can win in head-to-heads, 50/50s, and double-ups. Each week I’ll highlight my favorite cash game picks that I have some confidence heading into the weekend to put into my player pools.

Quarterbacks
Geno Smith $5,700 vs. ARI
This Seattle, Arizona game offers potential game stack upside given that both teams rank top-10 in explosive play rate on the year. Geno leads the NFL in pass attempts per game (37.4) and yet his TD rate (3%) continues to be outlier low. Eventually, you’d have to think the pendulum swings back in his direction. With DK Metcalf another week removed from injury, JSN playing well and Ken Walker able to contribute as a pass catcher out of the backfield, the weaponry is strong of Seattle’s QB1. The Cardinals have played much better defense as of late, but I don’t want to overreact to those numbers considering they’ve played two of the most dysfunctional offenses in the league in recent weeks – the Jets and the Bears with Shane Waldron. ARI/SEA’s total is currently sitting at 47.5, which is tied for the second-highest total on the slate.
