As we wrote in our game-by-game breakdown, this might be the last week in which we can expect the best from each team – at least, those who haven’t announced a player will miss the game. With that, we still have a relatively unbalanced set of options for Sunday, as we are willing to pay for consistency in some places while targeting upside and value in others.
Based on our expected Week 16 DFS game flow analysis performed earlier, we can carry our thoughts into actual lineup positions. The long list of players that fit the requirements set forth by the projected flow of the game was cut dramatically by the requirements set forth by salaries.
Below are Sporfolio’s DFS Week 16 Plays:
Quarterback
Dak Prescott – We normally don’t target Dak Prescott as the main quarterback for our fantasy lineups, but he has an outstanding setup for Sunday. He is playing his final home game of the year against a defense that has been legitimately terrible for the majority of the season. More importantly, Prescott has the chance to lead the rebound efforts after his team was shutout, last week. We always write about the ‘bounceback’ performance that almost every offense enjoys after getting shutout, and Dallas will be no different. The other reason to like Prescott is that he might not play in Week 17 if there is no playoff seeding on-the-line. Therefore, this might be his last tune-up before the postseason begins, and it will be in the form a game the Cowboys still need to win if they want to clinch a playoff berth on their own.
