Walt06 mins
Jaxon Smith-Njigba

I’ll be posting NFL DraftKings picks here. I cannot post lineups anymore, but I will list some players I like each week.


Week 15: Main Slate


I can no longer post any lineups, per DraftKings rules. I will be trying something different this year, which is to rank my order of preferences by position taking price into account.


Top DFS Quarterbacks:

  1. Jaxson Dart, $5,600 (vs. Redskins)
  2. Matthew Stafford, $7,000 (vs. Lions)
  3. Joe Burrow, $6,600 (at Bengals)
  4. Josh Allen, $7,500 (at Patriots)
  5. Lamar Jackson, $6,400 (at Bengals)
  6. Drake Maye, $6,700 (vs. Bills)
  7. Trevor Lawrence, $5,700 (vs. Jets)
  8. Shedeur Sanders, $4,700 (at Titans)
Jaxson Dart is an incredible value, but if you want to pay up, Matthew Stafford is the way to go versus Detroit’s poor pass defense.


Top DFS Running Backs:

  1. Travis Etienne, $6,500 (vs. Jets)
  2. Devin Singletary, $5,000 (vs. Redskins)
  3. Devin Neal, $5,300 (vs. Panthers)
  4. Jahmyr Gibbs, $8,800 (at Rams)
  5. Kyle Monangai, $5,200 (vs. Browns)
  6. D’Andre Swift, $5,700 (vs. Browns)
  7. Woody Marks, $5,600 (vs. Cardinals)
  8. Derrick Henry, $7,300 (at Bengals)
  9. R.J. Harvey, $6,000 (vs. Packers)
  10. Chase Brown, $6,700 (vs. Ravens)
Travis Etienne is the best value against a bad Jets defense. Bhayshul Tuten is banged up, so Etienne could get a majority of the work. Devin Singletary is also a great play if Tyrone Tracy is out with an injury. Devin Neal would also look good if Alvin Kamara is out.


Top DFS Wide Receivers:

  1. Garrett Wilson, $3,000 (at Jaguars)
  2. Davante Adams, $7,200 (vs. Lions)
  3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, $8,600 (vs. Colts)
  4. Puka Nacua, $8,700 (vs. Lions)
  5. A.J. Brown, $6,800 (vs. Raiders)
  6. Nico Collins, $6,700 (vs. Cardinals)
  7. Wan’Dale Robinson, $5,900 (vs. Redskins)
  8. Stefon Diggs, $6,000 (vs. Bills)
  9. Jakobi Meyers, $5,600 (vs. Jets)
  10. Darius Slayton, $4,400 (vs. Redskins)
  11. Ja’Marr Chase, $8,400 (vs. Ravens)
  12. Tetairoa McMillan, $6,000 (at Saints)
  13. Chris Olave, $6,200 (vs. Panthers)
  14. Rashid Shaheed, $4,600 (vs. Colts)
  15. Jayden Higgins, $4,200 (vs. Cardinals)
Garrett Wilson is a total misprice if he plays. He’s eligible to come off IR this week, and there’s a chance he’ll be on the field. If he plays, he’s a free square. Otherwise, I’m paying up for some excellent options this week. The Giants receivers look like good values, too.


Top DFS Tight Ends:

  1. Isaiah Likely, $3,400 (at Bengals)
  2. Dalton Kincaid, $4,500 (at Patriots)
  3. Theo Johnson, $3,500 (vs. Redskins)
  4. Mark Andrews, $3,900 (at Bengals)
  5. George Kittle, $5,400 (vs. Titans)
  6. Harold Fannin, $4,000 (vs. Cardinals)
  7. A.J. Barner, $3,200 (vs. Colts)
  8. Juwan Johnson, $3,700 (vs. Panthers)
  9. Dalton Schultz, $4,100 (vs. Cardinals)
  10. Tyler Warren, $4,700 (vs. Seahawks)
  11. Brenton Strange, $4,200 (vs. Jets)
Isaiah Likely has become a big producer again, and he has the easiest possible matchup. Dalton Kincaid is also a great play. Harold Fannin will move down if David Njoku is available.


Top DFS Defenses:

  1. Seahawks, $3,700 (vs. Colts)
  2. Eagles, $3,800 (vs. Raiders)
  3. Jaguars, $3,900 (vs. Jets)
  4. Texans, $3,600 (vs. Cardinals)
  5. Rams, $3,000 (vs. Lions)
  6. Packers, $2,800 (at Broncos)
  7. 49ers, $4,000 (vs. 49ers)
  8. Saints, $2,500 (vs. Panthers)
The Seahawks are an amazing play against Old Man Rivers. The Eagles will try to bounce back versus the Raiders. The Jaguars will be the No. 2 play if Brady Cook starts.




Players to Avoid: Jonathan Taylor (9300), Brock Bowers (5900). Not only do the Seahawks have the top run defense in the NFL; Jonathan Taylor will face lots of men in the box because of the quarterback situation. … The Eagles are the No. 1 team against tight ends, so I wouldn’t play Brock Bowers.


Week 15: Falcons at Buccaneers Showdown Slate


Top Captains: Bijan Robinson (16800), Kyle Pitts (9600). The Buccaneers have struggled against the run because Vita Vea is not healthy. Kyle Pitts routinely dominates Tampa Bay.

Top Spend-Up FLEX (in addition to Top Captains): Bucky Irving (10200). Bucky Irving has handled the entire workload since his return. Atlanta is poor against the run.

Top Value: Tyler Allgeier (4000). Tyler Allgeier is always a threat to score a touchdown, making him a solid bargain at $4,000.

Top Punt Play: Payne Durham (600), Devin Culp (200). Cade Otton is out, so either Payne Durham or Devin Culp could have a decent game.

Player to Avoid: Darnell Mooney (6600). Darnell Mooney has been a big disappointment this year.
