NFL DFS Cheat Sheet: Picks for Every Game (Week 16)

Since there are two games on Saturday in addition to the standard primetime games on Thursday and Monday, this week’s main slates at DraftKings and FanDuel have 11 and 12 games, respectively. I’m using the highlighted players and suggest readers mix them into their teams, too. I’ll provide an update with a timestamp if Saturday’s injury news necessitates any adjustments.
