NFL DFS FanDuel GPP Picks Week 12 (Fantasy Football)
Building winning GPP lineups, by definition, is tough. There are, however, some key things to look for when filling out your roster. First and foremost is ceiling, we want the players with potential to score the most points. Next is leverage; we want the players that fall through the cracks. Finally, we have to build a lineup that tells a winning story through game script and stacking.

A final note before diving into the picks. Don’t ignore the Cash Picks article put out by Julia Papworth. Her article pairs perfectly with my GPP picks, as it is typically a good idea to mix in some value plays, especially if they fit the GPP-winning story you write.
Quarterbacks
Jalen Hurts @ DAL – $9,000
The Cowboys have been a matchup to target all season, and it shouldn’t be any different this week. They rank dead last in fantasy points above expectation (PAE) allowed to QBs, and even though they have been slightly better lately, ranking 25th over the last month, they still aren’t a team you need to avoid. They are allowing 24.2 FD points/game to QBs, and Hurts put up 24.3 FD points against them in the season opener, without scoring any TDs through the air. With the Eagles favored by just three points and offensive firepower on the other side of the ball, Philly may need to throw more than usual in a game with a respectable 3.75 Game Pace Score (GPS). He’s the highest-priced QB on the slate, but with plenty of stacking options and currently projected to be rostered by about 6% of the field on the optimizer, he has the potential to be worth his salary.
