The NFL has a full week of football to celebrate Thanksgiving this week with all 32 teams on the schedule at some point this week. Even with a three-game Thanksgiving bonanza and a Black Friday special, there are still a solid 10 games on the main slate for Sunday afternoon. Seven games kick off at 1:00, followed by three games in the late window. From the 20 teams in the player pool, many strong options are available. In this cheat sheet, we’ll take a look at the fantasy football rankings for each primary position on the main DraftKings slate.
Just three of the 10 games are divisional contests, including a pair of games from the AFC South as the Texans and Colts face off in Indy and the Titans host the Jaguars. In the later games, the Chargers host the Raiders and the Steelers welcome in the Bills in a game with playoff implications for both squads.
The fantasy football rankings in this post are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.
These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in assembling your final roster. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.
To catch up on the top lineup from the Week 12 contest, check out my breakdown of the winning lineup. You can also find full rankings for the week at each position on my author page. The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.
Be sure to set your lineup for all Week 11 contests, highlighted by the NFL $2.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
