In his Key Personnel article, he will walk you through his favorite NFL DFS picks, ways to pivot away from the chalk, and overall strategy for the upcoming slate.

Happy Week 16 everyone!

We are coming to my favorite part of the season. We have NFL games on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. I hope everyone had a solid Week 15 slate and a solid 2-game slate on Monday night. It was easily my best week of the season, so I’m hoping to keep that momentum going into the Saturday slate.

NFL DFS Top Picks & Plays: Noto’s Key Personnel for Week 16 – Saturday Slate

For a 2-game slate, we have a surprising number of options at each position and ways to attack the slate. We can spend up at quarterback, running back, or wide receiver. These slates are fun because there’s not an obvious build. Let’s dive into my favorite targets at each position.

Russell Wilson: $5,700 DK / $7,400 FD

It doesn’t feel great fading Lamar Jackson on a 2-game slate, but Russell Wilson is my favorite quarterback on a per-dollar basis. He’s likely going to be without George Pickens again, but he has an elite matchup against the Ravens, who are the biggest pass-funnel matchup in the NFL. On the season, Baltimore is 28th in both EPA against the pass and fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Wilson has been erratic at times, but he’s topped 24 fantasy points in 2 of 8 games and will be asked to do more in this matchup. They will likely be trailing, and the best way to move the ball against the Ravens is through the air.
