NFL DFS, Week 16: Optimal DraftKings, FanDuel daily Fantasy football picks, stacks, lineup advice

Many wide receivers from around the league find themselves on COVID-19/reserve reserve lists. One of the most notable is Buffalo wide receiver Cole Beasley, who was outspoken in his opposition to the vaccine prior to the season. Although he hasn’t been an impactful player in NFL DFS lineups this year, his absence opens the door for Stefon Diggs to be one of the top NFL DFS picks as a target-vacuum.

Perhaps this is the week to consider a player like Atlanta’s Russell Gage, who has finished in the top 15 of Fantasy receivers in three of the last four weeks. With a thinning position group to choose from and a plus-matchup against Detroit, Gage could be one of the NFL DFS sleepers. Before locking in your NFL DFS picks for Week 16, be sure to check out the NFL DFS advice, strategy and projections from SportsLine daily Fantasy expert Mike McClure.

McClure is a legendary professional DFS player with almost $2 million in career winnings. His methodology has led to enormous cashes on FanDuel and DraftKings. He took down two high-stakes tournaments on FanDuel in 2020 and recorded a pair top-10 finishes in tournaments with over 130,000 entrants on DraftKings. His lineups also finished inside the top 1 percent in more than a dozen other tournaments last season.

He uses a powerful prediction model that simulates every snap of NFL action, taking factors such as matchups, statistical trends and injuries into account. This allows him to find the best DFS values that he shares only with members at SportsLine.
