Thanksgiving Is A Good Day For Fantasy Football

Whether you bought a turkey for Thanksgiving yet isn't important. What's really got you worried is who to play on your fantasy football team!

Thanksgiving games aren't always the most exciting to watch when a blowout happens, but the past few years have seen some high-scoring games which means fantasy football gold.

You just have to figure out who's going to shine on Turkey Day.

For your season long league, this will be just like any other week. But, a lot of daily fantasy leagues like Draftkings or FanDuel feature Thanksgiving Day contests.

If you didn't know already, this means you have Philadelphia vs. Detroit, Carolina vs. Dallas, and Chicago vs. Green Bay to choose from.

Carolina quarterback Cam Newton might not be dancing all that much in Jerry's house.

The Dougie. The Truffle Shuffle. Whatever dance he does, Dallas will keep it to a minimum despite Carolina scoring at least 20 points in every game this year. Cam will get his points, but there are better matchups on Thanksgiving.

Your best bet at QB could just be Lion's Matthew Stafford facing a bad Eagles defense. You should also pick from Detroit wide receivers Calvin Johnson, Golden Tate, or even Lance Moore if you want a value pick. While Johnson and Dallas' Dez Bryant are the big money receivers of the day, Tate will only run you $4,700. While Moore is cheaper, he's a bigger risk with inconsistent numbers this season.

The Packers will hopefully/probably put up some good numbers against the Bears, and running back Eddie Lacey actually had a decent game last week. Decent I tell you! He'll look to keep up the momentum, giving James Starks the back seat with carry attempts. If receiver James Jones promises to wear his hoodie again, he'll get plenty of passes being Green Bay's top fantasy receiver this season

So, enjoy your turkey and be sure to love your families. May your fantasy team dominate and have a happy Thanksgiving!
