Daily Fantasy Football December 1: DFS Stock Up, Stock Down

Even at this late stage of the NFL season, the outlook for each player can change in an instant.

Between injuries, matchups and adjusted roles, anyone in the NFL can go from an unknown to a superstar or vice versa in a week. This means you have to pay attention in daily fantasy football to get the most out of your lineup.

Here is a look at the latest stock report to help you out heading into Week 13.

Stock Up

Doug Martin, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($5,900)

He didn't get into the end zone last game, but Doug Martin has played extremely well over the past few weeks. The running back followed up his 235-yard performance in Week 11 with 97 rushing yards on 14 carries in Week 12.

Additionally, Martin has been a bit unlucky when it comes to getting touchdowns. He had a score called back on Sunday, while the week before, he was stopped at the 1-yard line after an 84-yard run. He is getting the opportunities, and eventually, this will turn into touchdowns.

He will certainly have a good chance to produce in Week 13 against an Atlanta Falcons defense that has allowed 13 rushing touchdowns this season, second most in the NFL. With the way he has run the ball, this could be a huge showing.

DeVante Parker, WR, Miami Dolphins ($3,300)

Although the first-round pick hasn't had an easy time getting on the field this season, an injury to Rishard Matthews got DeVante Parker in the game Sunday, and the rookie responded with four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown.

He also finished with 10 targets, behind only Jarvis Landry for the team lead.

According to Rand Getlin of NFL Network, Matthews could miss some more time:

This leaves Parker with a huge opportunity to finally show why he was drafted with the No. 14 overall pick. With the Dolphins dropping to 4-7, there is no reason to keep him on the bench any longer. This would be a risky pick in Week 13, but there is a lot of upside available at the price.

Scott Chandler, TE, New England Patriots ($2,500)

The New England Patriots have survived some key injuries already this season, but perhaps the only player they couldn't afford to lose outside of Tom Brady was tight end Rob Gronkowski. Unfortunately, this is one injury they will now have to try to survive.

ESPN's Adam Schefter provided the latest on the Pro Bowl tight end's timetable:

This leaves an opportunity for Scott Chandler to become a bigger part of a high-powered offense. The backup had a few drops early Sunday night but finished with five catches for 58 yards and a touchdown against the Denver Broncos on a team-high 11 targets.

Brady is still capable of moving the chains at will, but he is running out of targets he trusts. Chandler is in this exclusive group and could become one of the best cheap plays of the week.

Stock Down

Aaron Rodgers, QB, Green Bay Packers ($7,200)

There is no denying Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks in football over the past few years, but something has not been right over the past month. Last year's MVP has struggled with accuracy lately, failing to reach a 60 percent completion rate in any of the last four games.

Rodgers explained this week he is just not in a rhythm with his receivers, per Weston Hodkiewicz of the Press-Gazette:

"

I’m obviously going to have to make sure my preparation is as high as it’s ever been because we need to get on the same page, the passing game. We’re just on different pages. When you miss throws, when I’m throwing at a certain depth, when receivers are running at certain depth — we’re obviously on different pages.

"

This week, he faces a Detroit Lions defense that has improved immensely since the start of the year and only three weeks ago held the Green Bay Packers to 16 points in an upset win.

Whether you want to blame the receivers, Rodgers or even Olivia Munn (for whatever reason), drafting the quarterback is too much of a risk for the money.

Mike Evans, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($7,300)

It's clear Mike Evans hasn't been quite as good as his production implies this season. He has benefited from a lot of targets, although he has only brought in 44 of 92 looks his way. With Vincent Jackson back in the lineup, these targets have diminished a bit, leading to a relatively quiet five catches for 64 yards in Week 12.

Things won't get any easier for him in Week 13 with a tough matchup against Desmond Trufant, who has been one of the top cornerbacks in the NFL this year.

According to Pro Football Focus, Trufant trails only Patrick Peterson in average snaps per reception at 17.5. The 9.7 snaps per target against him is also second best. The cornerback has only allowed a single touchdown in coverage all season.

Receivers simply don't get open against Trufant, and Evans will have a hard time breaking this trend in Week 13. 

Latavius Murray, RB, Oakland Raiders ($4,800)

After a good start to the season, Latavius Murray has quieted down in a hurry. The Oakland Raiders running back has failed to top 100 yards from scrimmage in any of the last four games and has scored only a single touchdown in this stretch.

The result is a pedestrian 10.3 fantasy points per game on DraftKings.

Considering he rarely gets enough catches to make a difference in points-per-reception scoring, Murray has transformed from a safe bet into a low-upside option.

Against a tough Kansas City Chiefs front seven, Murray should be avoided in Week 13.
