NFL Week 16 Daily Fantasy Football: Players on my Christmas Wishlist

It’s Christmas Weekend for the NFL and there’s plenty of DFS action to take part of! Who makes my “Christmas Wishlist” of players I want in my DFS lineups this weekend? Don’t worry, I’ve made a list and I’ve checked it twice. Let’s dive in!


QB JUSTIN FIELDS | BEARS vs. Cardinals | $7,100

Fields has been up and down for fantasy purposes of late, but his rushing upside and a plus matchup against Arizona this week make him a fine play at $7,100.

QB BAKER MAYFIELD | BUCCANEERS vs. Jaguars | $6,000

Quietly, Baker Mayfield is having a fantastic season, and as a Fantasy QB he’s been playable in the right matchups. This Jaguars defense is one of those matchups. Baker’s a high end QB2 with top 5 upside this week.

RB BIJAN ROBINSON | FALCONS vs. Colts | $6,300

The Colts are a very bad run defense, although you wouldn’t be able to tell based on how bad the Steelers rushing offense looked against them last week. Robinson is a different animal than anything Pittsburgh trotted out last week, so look for the Falcons to lean on the Rookie in a must-have game for their AFC South hopes.

RB CHUBA HUBBARD | PANTHERS vs. Packers | $5,700

Another porous rush defense lives in Green Bay, and Chuba Hubbard has been a solid fantasy producer since around midseason. Give him a roster spot this week in your DFS lineup.

WR MIKE EVANS | BUCCANEERS vs. Jaguars | $7,600

Evans continues to defy the odds and produce at a high level every week. Ride with him again this week. Much like we talked about with Baker Mayfield above, the Jaguars defense has been giving up big plays to opposing passing attacks for half the year. If you can afford him, play him.

WR JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA | SEAHAWKS @ Titans | $4,500

The man they call JSN has seen an increased role in the Seahawks passing game as the season has progressed, and he’s proving to be a big-play threat for whichever QB is behind center. He’s a great value play this week against a bad Titans secondary.

TE TREY MCBRIDE | CARDINALS @ Bears | $5,700

The league is being taken over by young TEs, and McBride has been one of the most consistent TE plays all year. Keep rolling with him again this week against the Bears.

TE DAVID NJOKU | BROWNS @ Texans | $5,300

He’s Joe Flacco’s favorite target. He’s got double digit fantasy points in 8 of his last 9 contests, including 27+ in each of his last two. He’s a must start at this price.

D/ST NEW YORK JETS | vs. Commanders | $3,100

The Commanders are bad. The Jets defense is still pretty good. The math says start the Jets D this week.
