With three months of data now compiled for the final few weeks of the season, it’s not a surprise that the value we saw in September is not the same as what we have in December. Therefore, we have to be a little creative as to where we can find an edge.
A Note from Mario: Last week’s picks finished at a disappointing 1-2. As always, I’ll list my personal favorite picks, but please do your research, and play responsibly.
In the world of daily fantasy roster construction, ‘stacking’ players from the same team can often lead to big results. In this column of games to target in Week 16, Luke and Mario will give their thoughts on a few games that are worth watching for fantasy purposes, and whether they like the value or feel the game is getting too much attention.
Luke’s Top Games to Watch
New Orleans Saints at Tennessee Titans
In case you haven’t noticed, Drew Brees and the Saints are absolutely rolling. In their last five games, they have hit 34 points four times, and the one time they failed hit that number, they still scored 26 points. Brees is breaking records left and right, and Michael Thomas is on the verge of a historically great season. Watching the Saints as Brees breaks all these records, you can see how much it means to them. With that, I fully believe they will do everything they can to get Michael Thomas as many records as possible in what has been an amazing season. While that pair makes for an obvious piece of this game, it is easy to make a full game stack by adding pieces of the Titans’ passing game led by the resurgent Ryan Tannehill. A.J.
