The byes are over, but there’s a Monday Night Football doubleheader. Thus, the Week 15 NFL DFS main slates are 12 games at DraftKings and 13 at FanDuel. I’m using the following players this week and suggest readers use them as well. Per usual, I’ll update the picks this weekend after the dust settles with Friday’s and Saturday’s injury reports.
