FanDuel Salary: $4,100
Opponent: Los Angeles Rams
FanDuel Opponent Rank vs. Position: 17th
If the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/los-angeles-rams-depth-chart">Los Angeles Rams</a> want to claim a postseason berth, they'll likely have to catch one of the NFC East teams ahead of them. That amplifies the importance of Week 12's showdown against the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/philadelphia-eagles-depth-chart">Philadelphia Eagles</a>. 
The Rams have won four of their past five and have improved their defensive play. Over that five-game sample, LA has limited its opponents to 327.8 yards per game, a vast improvement over the 372.4 yards they were allowed in the five prior games. Moreover, they've seen a dramatic increase in turnovers. The Rams have totaled 11 takeaways across the same span, heightening their defense's fantasy ceiling in the latter part of the season. 
The Eagles may be favored, but the Rams' defense will be up to the task. We expect them to outperform their salary on Sunday's main slate.

5. Los Angeles Rams

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/USATSI_24788292-scaled-e1732158005944-768x432.jpg

FanDuel Salary: $3,700
Opponent: Arizona Cardinals
FanDuel Opponent Rank vs. Position: 8th
There was a time when opponents hated traveling to Lumen Field. The Legion of Boom reigned supreme, and opponents could not gain any traction behind the 12th Man. While the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/seattle-seahawks-depth-chart">Seattle Seahawks</a>' defense isn't as imposing as it once was, they will be ready to cage the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/arizona-cardinals-depth-chart">Arizona Cardinals</a> in Week 12. 
The Seahawks have been better at corraling opposing quarterbacks of late. Last week, they held <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/brock-purdy/2655">Brock Purdy</a> to just 159 passing yards while sacking him twice and forcing an interception. Likewise, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/josh-allen/1656">Josh Allen</a> and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/kirk-cousins/16341">Kirk Cousins</a> were held in check in two of the three preceding weeks, forcing both quarterbacks into interceptions while sacking them on multiple occasions. 
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/kyler-murray/2428">Kyler Murray</a> will have his work cut out for him on Sunday. The Seahawks have stepped up in recent weeks, and they'll be ready to maintain that defensive momentum into a crucial division clash. Inarguably, Seattle's defense is the best value on the main slate.

4. Seattle Seahawks

FanDuel Salary: $4,500
Opponent: New England Patriots
FanDuel Opponent Rank vs. Position: 26th
The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/miami-dolphins-depth-chart">Miami Dolphins</a> continue their ascent up the AFC standings with an intra-divisional showdown versus the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/new-england-patriots-depth-chart">New England Patriots</a> on Sunday. Coming off consecutive strong showings, the Dolphins should have no problem getting to <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/drake-maye/60316">Drake Maye</a> and the Patriots offense. 
Last week, Miami held the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/las-vegas-raiders-depth-chart">Las Vegas Raiders</a> to 328 yards of total offense, sacking <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/gardner-minshew/1867">Gardner Minshew</a> twice and forcing an interception. That's nearly identical to their performance the week prior when the Dolphins accumulated three sacks, an interception, and a fumble recovery against the Los Angeles Rams. Still, they'll face a less sincere challenge from the Pats. 
New England has struggled to protect Maye lately, giving up 11 sacks over their previous three contests. Maye is feeling the pressure, throwing interceptions in all three of those contests. That sets the Dolphins up for another elite performance as they try to salvage their playoff hopes and maintain their modest winning streak.

3. Miami Dolphins

FanDuel Salary: $4,700
Opponent: Tennessee Titans
FanDuel Opponent Rank vs. Position: 32nd
Years of pain and suffering have been undone by a torrid start to the 2024 campaign. <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/cj-stroud/1905">C.J. Stroud</a> and the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/houston-texans-depth-chart">Houston Texans</a> offense get their fair share of laudation, but we're putting some respect on the Texans defense's name. 
Houston's offseason acquisitions are paying off. Led by <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/azeez-al-shaair/2314">Azeez Al-Shaair</a> in the linebackers' corps, <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/calen-bullock/60245">Calen Bullock</a> in the secondary, and <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/will-anderson/1913">Will Anderson</a> up front, the Texans have elite playmakers in every level of their defense. While Anderson's status is still in the air for Sunday, the defensive line can still be expected to pressure <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/will-levis/2283">Will Levis</a> and force more turnovers. 
Led by their stout defense, the Texans are on the rise this season. Expect them to end Week 12 as one of the top-performing defensive units.

2. Houston Texans

https://sg-images-bucket.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/USATSI_24791798-scaled-e1732157963633-768x432.jpg

FanDuel Salary: $4,800
Opponent: Chicago Bears
FanDuel Opponent Rank vs. Position: 24th
<a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/players/caleb-williams/69046">Caleb Williams</a> is going through the growing pains of nearly every rookie quarterback. The <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/chicago-bears-depth-chart">Chicago Bears</a> signal-caller hasn't thrown a touchdown since Week 6 and is completing just 56.4% of his throws over the past four weeks. Expect the <a href="https://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/depth-chart/minnesota-vikings-depth-chart">Minnesota Vikings</a> to take advantage as they extract maximum value from their defense. 
No team is better than turning the ball over than the Vikings. They're averaging 2.1 takeaways per game this season, reserving their best efforts for when they're on the road. As the visitors, Minnesota has up to 2.3 takeaways, a bad omen for a rookie quarterback in a mid-season slump. 
Chicago's offense is predicated on the run, and there's no better team at stopping the ground game than the Vikings. Minnesota gives up a paltry 74.4 rushing yards per game, which is easily the best mark in the NFL. Coupled with increased pressure on Williams, the Vikings also average the third-most sacks per game. Minnesota is positioned for another slate-changing defensive performance in Week 12.
