Tonight wraps up Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season, featuring the New York Giants facing off against the New England Patriots, who are favorites by 7.5 points at home, with the game’s total set at 46.5. The Patriots have a strong 10-2 record and a win could propel them to first place in the AFC, surpassing the Broncos. For the Giants, quarterback Jackson Dart is set to return after being sidelined for two games due to a concussion.
Below are some key DFS picks for this exciting matchup.
Drake Maye, QB, New England Patriots (FLEX $13,200, CPT $19,800)
Maye recently led the Patriots to a narrow victory against the Bengals, throwing for a career-high 294 yards along with one touchdown and one interception in a 26-20 win. Not an easy task for a second-year quarterback, and yet he managed to pull through, securing his team’s third victory decided by a single score in just four weeks.
He’s been averaging 20.4 fantasy points per game this season, ranking in the top five for starting QBs across various metrics, particularly with an impressive 71% completion rate. This could work in his favor, especially since the Giants’ defense has struggled against quarterbacks, allowing an average of 21.3 fantasy points. So, it makes sense to consider Maye as a captaincy option tonight.
Treveyon Henderson, RB, New England Patriots (FLEX $11,800, CPT $17,700)
Henderson had a decent outing against the Bengals but didn’t quite match his earlier performance from two weeks back, finishing with 81 scrimmage yards. He had an impressive stretch with five touchdowns in consecutive games against the Bucks and Jets, scoring a solid 30 points in both weeks, which definitely pleased fantasy managers.
His performances have really picked up since Halloween, averaging over 10 carries in his last five games. He’s not just effective on the ground but has also excelled in gaining first downs. The setup against the Giants, who struggle against rushing plays—having allowed 17 rushing touchdowns—makes him a potential threat tonight.
Tyrone Tracy Jr., RB, New York Giants (FLEX $9,400, CPT $14,100)
Tracy has seen his role expand significantly with Cam Scatterbo’s season-ending injury and has been quite effective in recent close games. He averaged 73.6 rushing yards and 39.6 receiving yards over the last three weeks, scoring more than 14 fantasy points in his past two outings.
These numbers came despite sharing carries with Devin Singletary, and it’s likely he’ll continue to get significant opportunities with Dart returning. Perhaps we could see him approach 20 carries again, as the Giants might want to ease Dart back into action with fewer designed runs.
Theo Johnson, TE, New York Giants (FLEX $5,800, CPT $8,700)
Johnson had a strong outing last Sunday, recording three receptions for 77 yards despite a tough overtime loss against the Lions. Whether it’s Dart, Wilson, or Winston throwing, he has emerged as a reliable option, consistently finishing as a top-10 fantasy TE throughout the season. He could be a solid flex play against a Patriots defense that has given up some big plays to tight ends this year.
Demario Douglas, WR, New England Patriots (FLEX $4,600, CPT $6,900)
Douglas hasn’t seen many targets lately but has managed to accumulate 107 receiving yards over the last three games. He’s proven to be a threat for Maye this season, averaging a notable 2.43 yards per route run. Against the Giants, who may struggle to contain him, he could be a valuable low-cost addition for your lineup.
Isaiah Hodgins, WR, New York Giants (FLEX $4,000, CPT $6,000)
Hodgins has also been a key player for the Giants recently, tallying seven receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown over the past two weeks. Having been brought on from the Steelers’ practice squad, he’s back with the Giants and it will be interesting to see if he can recreate the chemistry he had with Dart earlier in his career.
