Week 16 Bankroll and Week 16 Thoughts

Great season it has been hopefully you have been following along and found this blog valuable. 

We started this season at $10,000 and I am currently at $12,100. 

Let's go big this week and put $3,500 in play including a $1k h2h that I will post here after lock for you to track along with me. After the last four weeks of great lineups, I feel great about this.

QB- Cash game- Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan- Matt Ryan is an excellent cash game play on this slate, as he is facing off against the worst passing defenses in the NFL this season in the Carolina Panthers who have allowed 274.8 yards per game. 

Andrew Luck- Andrew Luck is one of the safest play on the slate as this game is projected to be the highest game on the slate. Luck has thrown for 250+ and 2 TD's in four consecutive games. Oakland has allowed the seventh most passing yards on the season and with all the tough matchups that are out there this week for the top end quarterbacks, Luck seems the safest in cash. 

Tom Brady- Brady is projected to score the most amount of points this week, but the issue is that they are 17 point favorites in a game that the Jets have seemingly given up on this season. This game just seems as if it will be the Patriots getting off to an early lead and then LeGarrete Blount carries the load for most of the rest of the game. Brady is a GPP only play for me this week as you will be banking on Belichick to not stop scoring or the Jets to keep this game close.

RB-

Jordan Howard- 

Jordan Howard is going to be one of the most popular plays of the slate, but for me, I am fading Howard this week. Howard just does not score enough touchdowns to warrant starting him cash games. The reason here is Howard's price has risen to a point where he is no longer a must play and he has only scored a touchdown in four games this season. If I am paying up for a running back, I want more of a chance to score a touchdown than that. The matchup is positive as the Redskins are in the bottom ten defensively against running backs, but this is not the situation to start Howard.

LeSean McCoy-

LeSean McCoy is the top options for me this week as we saw him dominate the Browns last week and he gets to go against a Miami Dolphins team that is in the bottom three in the NFL in terms of rushing yards allowed.  McCoy should have very little issue getting to 100 yards in this game.

Rob Kelley- 

Rob Kelley is the premiere cheap option at the running back position this game. Kelley has scored four touchdowns in his last two games and is priced at just $5,800. In the Redskins last three wins, Kelley has gone for 88 total yards and 2 TD's, 137 total yards and 3 TD's and 97 rushing yards. At just $5,800 he is one of the top value plays on this slate.

WR-

Wide receiver is one of the hardest positions this week and this is going to determine your wins or losses. 

T.Y. Hilton

T.Y Hilton is my favorite wide receiver on this slate, as the Raiders have really struggled against the small shifty receivers like Hilton. Hilton struggled last week against a tough Vikings secondary, but should be in a nice spot to rebound in this game in a favorable matchup and is still priced less than some of the top options that have tough matchups.

Michael Crabtree

I want as much exposure to this Colts Raiders game as I can get, and with Amari Cooper likely drawing coverage against Vontae Davis, Michael Crabtree continues to be the top option for the Raiders in this projected high scoring game. This is a tiatuion where his price is simply too cheap and his red zone targets rank second in the NFL this season as he has 24 red zone targets on the season.

That's it for now, I will be adding more players throughout the night/morning as I continue to evaluation more and more players. I will continue to post my lineup tonight or in the morning.

Happy Holidays everyone
