Fabfive’s NFL DFS Saturday Slate Plays – Week 16
What’s up, 4 DEEP?! This is a tough slate as the Bills are in such a great spot and will be popular. I think running Murray with Cook could be a way to be a little different. Fading Josh Allen is ballsy, but Rudolph allows you to fit the pieces needed and hope the Bills wreck the Chargers like they did Dallas last week and it’s all from the rushing attack. Ask me any lineup questions in Discord before lock, just tag me (@Fabfive75).
SATURDAY UPDATES:
Favorite Stacks:
- Bills
- Steelers
Top-Tier QB:
- Josh Allen – LAC allowing 262 and 1.7 TDs per game.
Favorite Value QB:
- Mason Rudolph – The Bengals are allowing over 300 yards per game by QBs. I think Allen’s floor is likely everyone else’s median, but Rudolph helps you pay up in other places.
Top-Tier RBs:
- James Cook – Nobody is seeing more work since Brady took over play calling. Easy plug and play.
- Najae Harris – Cincy on average is giving up one TD per game to RBs.
- Austin Ekeler – This is purely a gut play of their HC being removed and he decides to show up.
Favorite Value RB:
- Latavius Murray – This game could get out of hand and Murray is already getting goal line carries. I think stacking Cook and Murray together works.
Top-Tier WRs:
- Stefon Diggs – He comes with some blowout risk, but the matchup versus Michael Davis could prove fruitful.
- Tee Higgins – With the target volume of screens the Bengals have been running with Jake Browning, he should be a lock and load.
Favorite Mid Range WRs:
- Joshua Palmer – Facing Rasual Douglas is a favorable matchup. It’s hard to trust Easton Stick, but he got targets last week. LAC should be throwing the entire game.
- Gabe Davis – He has only really been good at home, but the Chargers can’t stop anyone.
- George Pickens – Cincy allowing 188 yards to WRs per game. I prefer Pickens over Diontae at the ownership discount.
- Tyler Boyd – Target increase should be there, but not the greatest matchup.
- Trenton Irwin – One of the few value WRs I feel okay about.
Top-Tier TEs:
- Pat Freiermuth – Cincy allowing 82 yards per game to TEs.
- Tanner Hudson – Pitt is allowing 0.6 TDs per game to TEs and Hudson could see some of these easy targets in the screen game they’ve been running so heavily.
Favorite Value TE:
- Donald Parham – He’s the only punt TE worth a stab with his Redzone abilities.
Top Defenses:
- Bills
- Bengals
- Steelers
Top Fade:
- Joe Mixon
Slate Edge:
- Gabe Davis
