DraftKings Value Plays- NFL Week 16 (12/22/19)

For Week 16, only going to focus on the main slate. Plenty of good value on the Saturday slate as well so be sure to dig in if you are playing that one.

Please note, a ton can (and will) change between article posting and kickoff, follow me on Twitter for all my thoughts on additional value coming and going before lineups lock.

QUARTERBACK

Will Grier ($4,300), Carolina Panthers at Indianapolis Colts:

Caution: proceed at your own risk. Will Grier looked U-G-L-Y in limited preseason duty but this is more about the price and game script. Panthers should be down in this game and the best way to move the ball for them will be short passes to their playmakers. At this price, you don’t need much for him to pay off. 250 yards and 2 TD’s is possible even if he doesn’t look good.

RUNNING BACK

Deandre Washington ($4,000), Oakland Raiders at Los Angeles Chargers:

Josh Jacobs has been ruled out so fire up the RB chalk of the week. The best way to move the ball on the Chargers is via the ground (and passing to RB’s) so Washington has the opportunity and matchup to succeed. He performed well a few weeks ago and I expect him to do it again.

WIDE RECEIVER

Alex Erickson ($3,300) Cincinnati Bengals at Miami Dolphins:

Not as much value on the WR side this week. A lot of injury news could change my direction but right now I will look at Alex Erickson who played the majority of 2 WR sets last week and gets a matchup against the Dolphins defense.

TIGHT END

Jacob Hollister ($4,200), Seattle Seahawks vs. Arizona Cardinals:

I typically target under 4K for true “value” but I don’t see anything as enticing as Jacob Hollister at $4,200. Everyone knows by now to attack the Cardinals via the TE position, it’s as simple as that. So this is as low as I can go at the TE spot.

DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS

Washington Redskins ($2,800) vs. New York Giants:

Washington has been a decent defense all year. People just assume they are horrid because of…. well because of the Redskins organization in general. They get a home matchup against turnover prone Danny Dimes. This is a pretty good price as all the “obvious” plays are 3K+.
