Introducing Victiv: Daily Fantasy Football: Plays and Lineup – Week 12

Victiv Daily Fantasy Football

XN Sports is introducing a new daily fantasy site called Victiv, which has one of the best features in all of daily fantasy, in addition to a sleek design, and a few ways to play daily fantasy football.

After you have signed up, be sure to take on Victron. This is Victiv’s computer, and if you beat it, you can win cash prizes. This is yet another way to play daily fantasy football, so try Victiv today..

On Victiv, you are given $50,000 in cap space to play a lineup composed of a quarterback, two running backs, two wide receivers, a tight end, two FLEX and a defense/special teams. The scoring is a regular half-point PPR scoring system, which can be found in detail on the site.

How can we beat Victron, other players and win real money? First, sign up for Victiv here.

Second, take a look at XN Sports’ plays and lineup for Victiv for this weekend’s slate in fantasy football:

Quarterback

Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints $9,800

It’s not often that an expensive quarterback is listed as a value, but this week Brees is just that. Seven quarterbacks have a higher price than Brees this week, and the Saints are at home, where Brees has thrown for 11 touchdowns this year, and has statistically been one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history when he plays in New Orleans. When it comes to value, you have to ask yourself if Drew Brees is going to finish higher than QB8 for this week, if so he is worth the price on Victiv. The Saints face the Ravens, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

Running Back

Terrence West, Cleveland Browns $2,200

West is just $200 over the minimum on Victiv this weekend, and despite the fact that Isaiah Crowell is the lead back in Cleveland, West should still see his fair share of carries this week. The Browns cut Ben Tate this week, meaning that Tate and Crowell are the go-to guys in the backfield. With the Browns traveling to face the Falcons’ last-ranked defense against the run, Tate could still reach value as a low-priced option. The best part about Tates’ price is that even if he only totals six fantasy points, he still reaches value. Take a flier on him in a FLEX or RB spot, because there is little to no risk in a $2,200 player in daily fantasy, especially one that you know will touch the ball a few times a game, at minimum.

Wide Receiver

Sammy Watkins, Buffalo Bills $5,600

A few days ago, Watkins was going to be an easy fade this weekend, with horrid weather in Buffalo. But, the Bills will face the Jets on Monday night inside a dome. This gives Watkins an edge over the Jets secondary who ranks in the bottom five in passing yards allowed. At his price, 15 fantasy points or more will reach value, and Watkins totaled over 25 fantasy points in the last game against the Jets, including a long touchdown reception.

Tight End

Niles Paul, Washington Redskins $2,000

With the news of Jordan Reed being out this weekend, Niles Paul becomes the starting tight end for the Redskins. At the minimum price, Paul becomes an instant value, simply because he is the starter at a scarce position. This season in games where Reed did not play, Paul averages 4.5 catches for 58.25 yards and 0.25 touchdowns, per RotoViz’ game splits app. That production would give Paul a projection of around eight fantasy points, which would be excellent value at the minimum price on Victiv. The Redskins will face the San Francisco 49ers this weekend, who have allowed opposing tights to score five touchdowns in their last six games.

Lineup

QB – Drew Brees $9,800

RB – DeMarco Murray $8,300

RB – Bishop Sankey $3,200

WR – Brandon Marshall $6,600

WR – Sammy Watkins $5,600

TE – Rob Gronkowski $6,300

FLEX – Jimmy Graham $5,600

FLEX – Terrence West $2,200

DST – Jaguars $2,300 (over $700 cheaper than the next option)
