Five Guys Top Daily Fantasy Football Expert Picks - Week 16
LeSean McCoy $13,500 - Would the real Shady please stand up? Alright, thanks, got it. McCoy has been everything owners hoped he would be and more this season, pacing in as the number two overall running back with two weeks to go. Chip Kelly’s offense has been kind to him, and Nick Foles helping to develop a potent aerial assault has opened up the ground in a big way. On Sunday he’ll square off against the Bears historically pathetic run defense, and that leaves him atop the hill as week 16′s top play.
Dennis Johnson $4,000 - A complete unknown a month ago, Johnson is likely still unfamiliar to many daily fantasy football participants. By virtue of being the last man standing he’ll shoulder the feature back load for the Texans this weekend, and at site minimum that’s FAR more than is necessary to make him a must-play.
Alex Smith $11,800 - Did you hear that? It was all that is good and just in the football universe letting out a collective sigh. Mr. Game Manager himself has combined consistency with upside over the second half of the season, and is the most under-the-radar stud in daily fantasy football at this point. With FanThrowdown lineups featuring two quarterbacks, Smith makes the perfect complimentary opposite to your stud of choice. The Colts have been in full dumpster fire mode for a few weeks now, making this matchup one that adds allure to Smith’s already surprising mystique.
Pierre Garcon $11,300 - Cousins is French for “Thank God we have an offense”, or at least that’s what Garcon must be thinking. In his first go-around with a competent pocket passer Garcon lit up the box score. I’m not saying Robert Griffin is a bad player, as this season seemed doomed from the onset. An infusion of fresh air is likely what the offense needs as they play out these last few meaningless games. Dallas has been a laughingstock on defense this year, and that means all legitimate Redskins options are in full play.
Doug Baldwin $7,500 - No Percy Harvin? No problem! Russell Wilson has been the most interesting man at quarterback this season. He doesn’t always pass the ball, but when he does, he prefers Dos Baldwin. If you take a look at Doug’s game log you’ll find surprising consistency, which is exactly what you want from a low-tier upside play.
