Week 13 Sunday DFS Lineup: Breece Hall, Nico Collins, Jaylen Waddle and More
Morgan puts together a DFS lineup for the Sunday afternoon games in week 13.
Despite four games being played on Thursday and Friday, there's still a big NFL slate ahead for Sunday and Monday. Here, I'm going to put together a DraftKings lineup for the Sunday afternoon games.
There's 10 games to pick players from. It excludes the Denver, Washington game on Sunday night and New York and New England clash on Monday.
We have a $50,000 budget and nine spots to fill, so let's get to work!

Quarterback - Jacoby Brissett ($5,800)
Brissett has been awesome since taking over as the Cardinals' starting quarterback.
He has a super favorable matchup against the Buccaneers this week, and is averaging 17.6 fantasy points per game.
Brissett has scored 21.7, 26.9, 21.4, 24.8, 20.8 and 24.07 fantasy points in his starts so far. There's a chance he goes over 20 points again this week.
Running Back - Kenneth Gainwell ($5,300)
I'm a fan of Gainwell and Jaylen Warren this week, but decided to take a gamble on the cheaper player and try Gainwell in this DFS lineup.
Gainwell is averaging 11.6 fantasy points per game so far this season, and has scored 18.2 and 29.5 over the past two contests.
His matchup against the Bills is super favorable, and I expect him (and Warren) to post big fantasy scores in this one.
Running Back - Breece Hall ($6,000)
Hall is my second RB pick going into a favorable test against the Falcons.
Hall is averaging 14.9 fantasy points per game this season, and had exactly that mark last week.
I think there's a chance he really shines this week in a winnable game for the Jets.
Wide Receiver - Nico Collins ($6,700)
I went a little pricier here with Collins.
I love his matchup against the Colts, and think he was worth the higher price. He's averaging 15.4 fantasy points per game, and think he could blow past that in a favorable matchup.
Collins only had 8.5 fantasy points last week, so I'm hoping for a big bounceback showing. He scored 24.2 and 25.6 in the two weeks before that, so I hope he's more in that range in week 13.
Wide Receiver - Khalil Shakir ($5,500)
I got my salary back in a good spot by taking Shakir.
He is averaging 11.9 fantasy points per contest this season, and has a favorable matchup coming against the Steelers.
Shakir scored 21 fantasy points last week, and has been in double figures in four of the past five. He's still a risky pick, as the week he missed double-digit points, he only scored 0.7.
Wide Receiver - Jaylen Waddle ($6,800)
I spent a little more again to get Waddle.
He is averaging 14 fantasy points per game so far this season. He scored 8.2 in his last game, but had 19.4, 14.2 and 20.9 in the three games before that.
He has a pretty average matchup coming against the Saints, and as the top pass catcher for Miami, I think on volume alone he posts a big fantasy score this week.
Tight End - Juwan Johnson ($4,200)
Johnson is another way to save money, yet add a really good DFS option.
He is averaging 10.9 fantasy points per game, and has had 10.6, 19.2, 12.1, 10.3 and 12.9 in his past five contests.
Johnson has a favorable matchup coming against the Dolphins, so it's a chance for him to score in double digits again, and maybe post one of his best showings of the season.
Flex - Travis Etienne ($6,500)
I decided on Etienne for the final flex spot. I had a couple hundred dollars leftover, but liked him the best of everyone available.
He is averaging 15.4 fantasy points per game so far this season, and has a great matchup this weekend against the Titans. Etienne has scored 15.7 or more points in four straight games, and I see him maybe being over 20 points in this matchup.
Don't sleep on Etienne this week, because he's really a stellar option.
DST - Texans DST ($2,900)
I feel this is the ultimate risk vs. reward pick here with the Houston DST.
The Texans DST is averaging 10.2 fantasy points per game, which is the most of any DST playing on Sunday afternoon. Their matchup is the Colts, who are the toughest offense to slow.
Daniel Jones is banged up, so I think the Colts' offense will be easier to slow, if he's even out there. The Texans DST has scored 15, nine, 14 and eight points over their past four games, so there's a chance for another big fantasy score to help my lineup out.
