DraftKings Lineup Walkthrough - Week 16
Notorious gives a detailed walkthrough of how he built his main cash-game lineup on DraftKings for NFL Week 16. He’ll offer his entire lineup and explain the thought process behind each pick.
Week 16 NFL DraftKings Lineup
Matt Ryan – You know a lot of points are going to be scored when the Saints and Falcons meet up. Not only do they both own two of the worst defenses in the NFL, but the game is always played indoors. The Falcons are small underdogs in this one and may be playing from behind. I’m expecting Ryan to get the 300-yard bonus and hopefully add a couple of scores as well.
C.J. Anderson – This pick was an easy one. Anderson has been the workhorse back for Denver and that’s not going to change this week in an important Monday night showdown against the Bengals.
Tre Mason – Mason has had trouble getting it going on the ground the last couple of weeks, but draws a favorable matchup against the Giants, who have really struggled against the run this season.
Marques Colston / Kenny Stills – I split these two in my cash games this week. As mentioned above, this is expected to be one of the highest scoring games of the week. I have the Dolphins paired with Colston and the Seahawks paired with Stills.
Donte Moncrief – At this moment, it appears that T.Y. Hilton is closer to doubtful than he is probable. That’s great news for Moncrief and his very affordable salary. As long as Hilton sits, Moncrief becomes one of the top value plays on the board.
Jordy Nelson – Nelson and the Packers are looking to bounce back after a rough week in Buffalo. While this game is on the road, they get a soft opponent in the Buccaneers. Most experts have Nelson as a top three wideout this week, but he was only listed at $7,700.
Rob Gronkowski – This is the first week in a while that I do not have Jimmy Graham in my cash game lineup. Somehow I just know that he’s going to have a big day. That said, I would much rather pay a little extra to take Gronkowski in a terrific matchup against the Jets.
Shane Vereen – Blount was ruled out early Sunday morning, which should mean a few extra snaps for Vereen. The Jets have a good run defense, which also bodes well for his snap count, as he is the primary back on passing downs. At $3,800, I’ll bite.
Seahawks / Dolphins – I split these defenses between cash games. The Seahawks were my favorite defense this week and the Dolphins were my favorite value defense.
Good luck this week everyone!
