Week 12 NFL DFS GPP Targets: Players with Highest Ceilings at Every Position

We have an excellent 11-game main slate on tap for Week 12 that begins at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday.

This piece will highlight the top NFL DFS players at each position in our FantasyLabs Player Models in terms of their projected ceiling from our award-winning Director of Predictive Analytics, Sean Koerner.

(Do people even read intros?)

Let’s dive in.


Top Model Quarterback Ceiling Projections

Matt Ryan ($6,800 DraftKings; $7,900 FanDuel)

Ryan leads our ceiling projections as he draws the dream matchup against a Buccaneers defense that is one of the biggest funnels in the league, ranking 30th in pass DVOA and first in rush DVOA. Ryan was solid last week throwing for 311-1 on the road against Carolina, now he gets the benefit of stepping back onto his home field in a high-scoring domed environment.

There isn’t that much that needs to be said about Ryan here with the Falcons implied for 27.5 points at home against one of the worst pass defenses in the league. He should have no issue moving the ball with the weapons he has at his disposal.

He’s an excellent play in all formats.
