Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings – Week 15 12/18/16
Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings - Week 15 12/18/16 It’s an embarrassment of riches in the Fantasy Universe this week with a ton of good teams playing against truly bottom-feeding defenses. Coming off a week in which we struggled to find “safe” value in spots, we have no such issue here. There are almost too many good plays. And did we mention that DFSR user Andrew Morris took down the Sunday Million last week? Yeah, life is good. Hope to see you inside the DFSR family some time soon. In case you didn’t notice, we just released our brand new NFL DFS suite of tools including full projections, optimal NFL lineups and our Player Lab, which includes filters to help you create NFL lineups for FanDuel and DraftKings for any format. It’s a set of tools well beyond anything we’ve ever had, and something we feel will help our users *ahem* tackle the NFL season. If you want to see the numbers behind our projections, create lineups, or research as deeply as your heart desires, click the button below to test out yourself. START YOUR FREE TRIAL! QUARTERBACKS Aaron Rodgers FD 8500 DK 7100 Opponent CHI Proj Points FD - 25.59 DK - 26.27 Facing an upper level Seattle D on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field? No problem for Rodgers in just another game solidifying Discount Double Check as the top of the QB fantasy mountain. He only needed 23 passing attempts to put up a 246/3 line in a game that got well out of hand early. There’s some blowout concern here as well with the Packers coming in as -6.5 against an average Bears’ defense. But Rodgers is just so crucial to anything the Packers do on offense that I think he can weather a less-than-optimal game script if the Packers do get up early. They ran the ball a bit more than usual last week with Michael and Montgomery, though it’s tough to figure if that was more chicken or the egg. It helps Green Bay to establish a ground game, but it also opens up more efficient opportunities for Rodgers. He’s still the highest floor QB heading into Week 15. Carson Palmer FD 7600 DK 6000 Opponent NO Proj Points FD - 24.31 DK - 25.47 Oh believe me, I know you don’t want to read this name. I completely get it especially if you watched any part of last week’s debacle against the Dolphins. Palmer looked absolutely horrendous. But so much of that had to do with the torrential downpour in Miami and lack of grip on the ball (a problem for everyone in that game). Look for him to...
