Quarterbacks Josh Allen FD 9500 DK 8500 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 26.83 DK - 26.83 Any concern about Josh Allen’s fantasy upside over the last few games was erased in Week 15 when the dude went nuclear once again. Playing the Dolphins on Saturday night, Allen threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns while also adding another 77 yards on the ground. It was a clutch performance in the win against the Dolphins. This week he gets the Bears who rank 31st in defensive DVOA on the season and are equally bad against both the run and the pass. Buffalo has clinched a playoff spot, but they are still in the hunt for a first-round bye so it’s likely they will keep the foot on the gas for the rest of the regular season. Patrick Mahomes FD 9200 DK 8400 Opponent SEAProj Points FD - 26.23 DK - 26.23 As we suggested last week, it’s going to pay to spend up at quarterback on this main slate of games. With Jalen Hurts on the shelf, that leaves us with Allen and Patrick Mahomes to decide between. Mahomes trails Hurts by just a couple of decimal points in DraftKings scoring this season and has thrown for 320+ yards in eight of the last nine games. Seattle is a bottom-third defense on the season and the 48.5 total is the highest over/under on the slate. I suspect Mahomes, coming a bit cheaper than Allen, will have a lot of ownership here and it’s for good reason. Running Backs Christian McCaffrey FD 9400 DK 8800 Opponent WASProj Points FD - 25.14 DK - 28.58 At this point in the season, it’s going to make the most sense to target the superstar situations which are most clear in terms of opportunity. That’s for sure the case for Christian McCaffrey who, without Deebo Samuel, is the workhorse in every sense of the word for San Francisco. He’s coming off a week playing 89% of the snaps and touching the ball a whopping 34 times (26 carries, 8 targets) while racking up 138 total yards and a touchdown. Few other running backs are going to see anywhere close to this usage on a week-to-week basis. The 49ers are playing for seeding here and with...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard Jalen Brunson FD - $7800 DK - $7200Opponent - GSProj Pts FD - 39.48 DK - 42.27 The Knicks are on an upward trajectory here, having won their last seven games and moving into the East’s sixth spot. Part of that has been the play of Brunson who has 30 points in two of the last three games with minutes trending into the upper-30s. The Knicks had played a bunch of weird blowout games that had limited his run in recent weeks, but that doesn’t look like the plan for this team. Brunson is a value on both sites, but especially on DraftKings if this game stays close. Jordan Poole FD - $8300 DK - $8100Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 39.79 DK - 44.33 Klay Thompson FD - $7300 DK - $6600Opponent - NYProj Pts FD - 35.11 DK - 38.93 When you lose Stephen Curry from your team, there is going to be a lot of usage to go around for everyone that remains. And that’s obviously the case with the Warriors here. With Curry off the court this season, Jordan Poole has led the way with a 34.6% usage rate, taking 20+ shots in each of the last three games. He dropped 43 against Toronto on Sunday and the price really hasn’t caught all the way up for how Golden State is using him now. Klay Thompson on the other hand actually has seen a usage decrease this year with Steph off the court, possibly a byproduct of teams being able to key in more on the other shooters when Curry isn’t around. But I still think the minutes' floor is high enough here with what GSW needs on offense and his price on DraftKings doesn’t reflect that he should run about 35 in a close game. Malik Beasley FD - $5300 DK - $5500Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 29.11 DK - 32.42 It looks like Mike Conley could sit today on the second half of the back-to-back with Utah playing Monday evening. Collin Sexton is also on the shelf and that could put Malik Beasley into the starting role at the two-guard....

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard LaMelo Ball FD - $8000 DK - $8000Opponent - ATLProj Pts FD - 40.72 DK - 45.77 The Hornets season might be all but over and it never really got started. A big part of that was poor team-building and drafting, but there was also some bad luck in there as well specifically with the early-season injury issues with LaMelo Ball. The young guard is back now though and should be up to playing max minutes in this game against the Hawks. The 234 over/under is the third-highest of this large slate, and this game could have a lot of value in it. Ball is coming off a 23 point, 11 assist game that actually only saw him grab one rebound in 35 minutes. That’s an outlier on the low side and he’s a nightly triple-double threat when things are going right. It is worth noting the rebounding has been down in his limited time this season, but I am not looking a ton into this just yet. De'Aaron Fox FD - $8400 DK - $8100Opponent - DETProj Pts FD - 41.61 DK - 44.46 This game could be an absolute track meet with the over/under sitting at 238.5, one of the highest numbers you’ll see. It makes sense for the Kings side especially with the Pistons playing a top-10 pace and the second-worst defensive efficiency in the league. Fox’s fantasy production has come and gone in recent games, and there was an injury in there as well, making him a bit of a risk here. But he’s coming off a 27 point, 10 assist, six rebound game against the Raptors, playing 41 minutes on the second half of a back-to-back. That’s a very good sign and again, this matchup is pretty choice. I like the price on both sites and think he has a high floor here. Terence Davis (FD 4400 DK 3900) and Malik Monk (FD 5000 DK 5300) are interesting options if Kevin Huerter has to sit out again. Luckily, this is the first game of the slate so the injury info for this will be in well before lock. Anthony Edwards FD -...

Point Guard/ Shooting Guard CJ McCollum FD - $7500 DK - $7200Opponent - UTAProj Pts FD - 38.77 DK - 41.55 It didn’t work out great for the Pelicans the other night against the Jazz when they were effectively blown out in Utah and the starters lost minutes in the fourth quarter. But I still think we can be on McCollum here with Brandon Ingram out of the lineup and the Pels now missing Jose Alvarado as well. CJ has struggled shooting in a bad way over the last couple of weeks, but that’s due for a regression and the price has dropped because the scoring hasn’t been there. But he’s simply too cheap for this kind of opportunity. Chris Paul FD - $8200 DK - $8200Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 41.27 DK - 43.96M Landry Shamet FD - $4000 DK - $1000Opponent - LACProj Pts FD - 23.64 DK - 26.1M The Suns come into this game even more shorthanded than before. They were already missing Devin Booker who is still on the shelf and now they will be without Cameron Payne coming off the bench in the backcourt as well. It’s turned into something of a mess for Phoenix who’ve lost five straight and are really struggling right now. This matchup isn’t the best on the slate against the Clippers, but the opportunity is just high enough for the Suns guards. Chris Paul has had his minutes pushed in the short-term even in games that have gotten out of hand and he took 17 shots last time out, though he struggled from the field. I’m fine going back here even with the price climbing. And then there is Landry Shamet who started last game at the two guard and ended up playing 32 minutes in total. He took 13 shots, a welcome sign for the usage considering he really needs to score in order to hit value. The price is low enough and the minutes should be high enough to consider him as a punt play in cash especially with the Suns so very thin at guard right now. With Jose Alvarado out, Dyson Daniels could see more...

Chiefs and Eagles Lead the Daily Fantasy Football Cash Game Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Week 15 - Main Slate Want access to the projections that power these picks? For a limited time, we're offering a free one-week trial to all the sports that we cover - that's optimal lineups for NFL and MLB - for the same low price. Get started now! START YOUR FREE TRIAL NOW! Quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes FD 9100 DK 8100 Opponent HOUProj Points FD - 27.82 DK - 27.82 The Chiefs are huge favorites here against the Texans, and for good reason. Though Houston put up a valiant effort against the Cowboys last week, this is still one of the worst teams in the league. And KC should be able to step on the gas early and often. They have, as a team, run the ball a bit more of late with Pacheco which is a concern with Mahomes ceiling if the game starts getting out of hand, but he’s a tough fade in this matchup considering he has 400+ more passing yards than the next-closest guy and his 33 touchdowns are six more than the next-closest. Jalen Hurts FD 9000 DK 8200 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 26.47 DK - 26.47 If you’re not going to play the runner up in the MVP odds right now, you might as well play the favorite. That’s kind of where we are with the quarterback situation on this slate, and in some ways, Hurts is in an even better spot than Mahomes. He’s playing the Bears who have the leagues worst defensive DVOA on the season, coming in terrible against both the run and the pass. This is a smash spot for Hurts whose 10 rushing touchdowns ranks first among quarterbacks. Plus he has a 22:3 TD: INT rate on the season, making him just about as efficient as it gets for a quarterback. It’s a close call between these two QBs but I do think you should play one of them in cash. Running Backs Miles Sanders FD 7800 DK 6500 Opponent CHIProj Points FD - 16.52 DK - 17.63 There’s definitely a world where we are just stacking a couple of the best teams in cash and calling it a day. Miles Sanders helps some with that if you want to lean on the Eagles’ running attack to get you all the way home. Somewhat quietly, Sanders is fifth in the league in rushing yards on the season and his 11 rushing touchdowns are tied for third in the league. The price on both sites is right in range of acceptable and like we said with Hurts, the matchup against the Bears is about...
