As we wrote in our previous articles, the focus is always on the main slate for Sunday. That’s the case here, too, where our lineup is built on the nine games that take place in the standard timeslots.
Based on our expected Week 16 DFS game flow analysis and Week 16 DFS Overview published 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
Kyler Murray – The Arizona Cardinals have been dreadful this year, and that might continue in their road game against the Chicago Bears, but isn’t quarterback Kyler Murray gameflow-proof? If the Cardinals are winning, he almost certainly had a hand in gaining the lead but, if they’re losing, Arizona will need to apply pressure in the aerial attack. On top of that, Murray is always a threat with his legs and, with injuries to many of his pass-catchers, this is one of the rare examples of a quarterback who could be slotted into a lineup alone — thus saving salary later via not forcing in a wide receiver.
