I like this spot for Josh Allen and the Bills. This feels like a letdown game for the Eagles after their huge victory against the Chiefs. Allen hasn't had one of those traditionally amazing Josh Allen weeks in quite some time and I love the Bills as a road underdog and a great fantasy play. If it wasn't for a few errant drops from the Chiefs, the outcome of last week’s game would have been completely different. I think the Bills' receivers make those catches and pull out the victory as Allen has about 275 yards and two touchdowns.
Running Back
Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans
This may be the first time I've listed Derek Henry in this article this season. The Panthers have let up 14 rushing touchdowns and allow 4.59 YPC. They've also let up the six most rush rushing yards in the league. But my real reason for loving Henry is that the Panthers pass rush is very underrated and the way to win this game is to run the ball effectively. I have a lot of FOMO when it comes to playing Henry this week as I think he can put up about 150 yards and two touchdowns.
Wide Receiver
Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills
The Eagles' secondary has let up the second most touchdowns to opposing receivers along with the fifth most receiving yards. Moreover, they have allowed the most receptions to opposing teams because other teams know they can throw on them. I truly believe that this is a letdown game for the Eagles and Stefon Diggs desperately wants to see more of the football after barely being used against the Jets. Allen to Diggs is my favorite hookup in Week 12 and I'm going to play them liberally.
Tight End
Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars
The last time these two teams played Engram had seven catches for 67 yards. The crazy thing about Engram this season is that he's had no touchdowns so this should be a good chance for some touchdown regression. The Texans allow the second most receptions to opposing tight ends and I think Engram may be one of the sneakier plays on the slate.
