Check out our NFL Week 16 DFS Quarterbacks!
What a weekend of quarterback dominance, as we keep chugging along in DFS by giving you our best of the best for the slate each week. Although Herbert was a huge let-down to us all in a game flow that turned out to be a punting exhibition in LA., we did strike oil with Brady producing 20-plus fantasy points for 4X value! Let’s get back on track for Week 16 when we will have another weekend full of NFL excitement. Before we get into our quarterbacks I’d like to wish everyone at WinDaily a Happy Holiday Season! May your lineups be merry and as sizzling as the logs burning in your fireplace! Quarterbacks, Week 16…Here they are!!
Josh Allen ($8,500 DraftKings/$9,500 FanDuel)
He’s a matchup and weatherproof QB, scoring almost 40 DK points on Miami this past Saturday night. Allen will continue to pulverize the competition in Chicago where the Bears’ defense has been so bad they couldn’t stop a nosebleed (30th in points allowed DVOA). The Windy City may see some below-zero breezy temperatures, which could lead to the MVP in Buffalo using more of his legs (77 rushing yards on the Fins in Week 15’s partial snow game). But the severe wind would cause problems in the passing game for sure, so we should keep an eye on weather reports during the week.
Patrick Mahomes ($8,400 DraftKings/$9,200 FanDuel)
Since the Chiefs have struggled to put away their opponents and close out recent games, Pat Mahomes stays busy putting points on the scoreboard. The Kansas City defense has allowed its opponents in their last two games to pile up a total of 52 points, forcing Mahomes to fire back in each game (688 PaYds/5 TDs). to pull out the wins. Lock him up against a Seattle defense that hemorrhages points on the board to opposing teams, ranking second-to-last in the league.
Jalen Hurts (If healthy) ($8,300 DraftKings/$8,700 FanDuel)
There’s a dense fog in Philadelphia this week concerning the quarterback of their 14-1 Eagles, is he going to play? If the medical staff clears him, then so do I. In one of his biggest games of the year facing Philly’s NFC rival Dallas Cowboys, Hurts will do what he usually does…light up your lineup (39 DK points last week). But if he sits and we get a dose of Minshew-Mania, I could only use him in a Milly-Maker, especially on the road against that Cowboys’ pass rush…way too risky for cash.
Kirk Cousins ($6,300 DraftKings/$7,700 FanDuel)
What a show from Captain Kirk on Saturday afternoon, 37 DK points in a half-game of football…are you kidding me? This week he’ll see a disheveled New York Giant secondary who will be at the mercy of Justin Jefferson and the rest of the Vikings’ receiving core. His price tag on DraftKings is too juicy to pass up, particularly after last week’s record-breaking performance and throwing for over 400 yards in two straight games.
Geno Smith ($5,800 DraftKings/$7,600 FanDuel)
He’s fighting for a spot in the playoffs, leading the Seahawks into the lion’s den of Kansas City for a potential shootout. I touched on the Chiefs’ inability to finish anybody off in the Mahomes‘ breakdown, so Geno should get the red carpet rolled out for him with his receivers on Christmas Eve. KC’s cushy zone defense will see a heavy dose of DK Metcalf with the absence of Tyler Lockett this week, a force who has been uncontainable this season. Geno under $6K on DK/mid $7K on FanDuel is a huge bargain in a game that may go back and forth for four quarters.
Daniel Jones ($5,600 DraftKings/$7,400 FanDuel)
No, this is not a typo, we have a New York Giant in our write-up this week! He is the absolute under-the-radar play at quarterback for the slate and would create a ton of space for the rest of your lineup. While playing indoors against a deteriorating Minnesota defense, Jones could easily march up and down the field just like Matt “Noodle Arm” Ryan did last week. Danny Dimes laid 29 DK points on Detroit back in Week 11. So in a similar turnstile type of defense, (Vikings are 28th in DVOA to quarterbacks) I would throw him in my GPP lineups.
