Let's enjoy the holiday with a big win
Merry Christmas!
We are in the final two weeks of the regular season, and the regular fantasy seasons are in their championship weeks.
Hopefully, you were lucky to sneak in to make a run unlike myself in one of my home leagues.
I needed a win in Week 14 to make the playoffs, but I faced Josh Allen in his 6-touchdown game. Needless to say I’m playing in our Toilet Bowl to decide the No. 1 pick next season. If I had won, I would be playing in my league’s Super Bowl.
It was a season of mediocrity in my league and I was on the wrong side this year. There’s always next season!
But in DFS, it’s a new season every week, and it only takes one big week to make your year.
Last week on the main slate, I was still one or two players away from a big week. But finishing in the top tier of a couple of tournaments last week has kept me afloat for this week.
Plus, I will be providing my spreadsheet the rest of the season and it will be at the bottom of my story.
So let’s go out and win some big money for the holidays!
Onto my Christmas Day Top Plays:
Quarterbacks
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore ($8,000)
C.J. Stroud, Houston ($6,000)
I’m expecting plenty offense in the second game on Christmas. Jackson has been making a push of another MVP award (Josh Allen is still ways ahead in my opinion). He has scored 21.5 or more DraftKings points in his last four games and has thrown 12 TD passes and rushed for another. Stroud has been beast against bad pass defenses at home (averaging 29.04 fantasy points a game) in his short career. The Ravens have improved in recent weeks but they still give up a league worst 281.8 yards passing a game on the road this season.
Running Back
Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh ($7,700)
Warren will be in both of my lineups as he has assumed the RB receiving role in Pittsburgh in recent weeks. He has seen 25 targets in the last six games compared to Najee Harris’ 15 targets. But Warren has only seen 3 targets the last three weeks. Warren also led the Steelers’ RBs in touches last week.
Wide Receiver
Nico Collins, Houston ($8,300)
Just like Stroud, Collins is a different monster at home vs. bad defenses. He averages 23.38 fantasy points a game at home vs. bad defenses. He may have underperformed last week against Kansas City, but he still had 10 targets. He was averaging 20.3 DK points a game in his last 3 before last week.
Tight End
Mark Andrews, Baltimore ($4,300)
Andrews has scored 10.4 or more DK points in his last four games, including a TD in each game. He has caught 17 of his 20 targets during that time span. The Texans gave up 6 catches for 40 yards last week vs. the Chiefs.
DST
Steelers ($2,800) home against Kansas City
