D.J. Chark A Boom-Or-Bust Flex Option
Detroit Lions wide receiver D.J. Chark totaled 11 receptions for 192 yards and a touchdown in Weeks 13 and 14 but posted just one catch for 18 yards in the win over the New York Jets in Week 14. He's been a boom-or-bust fantasy asset for much of his career, and he carries that outlook […]
Amon-Ra St. Brown Draws Tough Week 16 Matchup
Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is obviously a must-start fantasy option, but it's worth noting he draws a tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. The Panthers have allowed the 10th-most fantasy point to wide receivers this season, but against slot receivers, they've allowed the fifth-fewest receptions and yards. That said, […]
Jamaal Williams Remains A Touchdown-Or-Bust RB
Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams has failed to reach 4.0 fantasy points in standard and PPR leagues in his last two games and hasn't eclipsed 10.6 fantasy points since Week 11 against the New York Giants. D'Andre Swift and Justin Jackson continue to eat into his workload, and Williams hasn't caught a pass since […]
D'Andre Swift A Risk Worth Taking
Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been about as up and down as running backs come in fantasy football, but he's finally healthy and continues to have a high ceiling thanks to his pass-catching upside. Swift has seen an average of 6.75 targets over his last four games, so in PPR leagues, he's worth […]
Jared Goff Faces Tough Road Test
Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff goes on the road to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 16. In road starts this season, Goff has thrown for just three touchdowns to four interceptions. At home, he's thrown 20 touchdowns with just three interceptions. Charlotte will see subfreezing temperatures on Saturday, and the game total is set […]

NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Week 16 Daily Fantasy Football Picks
