Last night we got burned in the Orlando game and the high flying down the court was more like a half court offense. Basketball is getting the better of us lately, luckily, our favorite thing, daily fantasy football has arrived.
It’s quite an interesting week as we love so many quarterbacks and defenses. As always we will probably be changing things when we get more info on injuries etc.
So here we go for week 16 in the NFL. 10 x $1 50/50’s

Matthew Stafford – He is in an optimal situation, indoors would be better, but the weather is going to be nice according to my sources. This defense is bad and the whole team is in disarray. My biggest fear is Jimmy Clausen, the backup on Chicago. I fear turnovers for touchdowns and Stafford won’t even have to throw the ball. The Qb I like that is cheaper is Joe Flacco. I think it’s a good spot against a bad pass D, but also, they have a bum QBing and I also fear the Defensive TD’s. If I were to spend higher, it would be on Tom Brady.
Fred Jackson – I’m still waiting to hear info on CJ Spiller involvement this week, but here’s an optimal game for Jackson to not just get catches but rushing yards. He’s a very high floor and this week I think he has a high ceiling against a terrible run defense in Oakland. Buffalo believes in themselves. They will play hard.
Tre Mason – I don’t understand why expert prognosticators don’t have Mason ranked way higher. This guy has faced tough run defenses all year. Arizona, Denver, San Fran, Seattle, Washington. Alll ranked in the top 10 and some he’s played twice. Some he’s played well against, others not. When he’s played bad ones, he’s played well. He’s now the only guy in that backfield and he’s facing a GIANTS run defense that’s atrocious. This is optimal in every way and his price is dirt cheap. Also, it’s not like they throw the ball well. As far as game flow, I think the St. Louis Defense will dictate everything. There will be turnovers created and great field position for Mason to do a lot of damage. He’s so cheap for a guy that will carry at least 20 times. If I lose on him, so be it. I made the right decision.
Calvin Johnson – I don’t normally play a receiver and a wideout but how can you not play Calvin versus the Bears. He destroyed them on Thanksgiving and the Bears have actually gotten worse. I wish his price was cheaper, but I I can’t have my cake and eat it too.
Harry Douglas – I’m going back to the well with this guy. His price has come up but if Jones doesn’t play again, he’s in another optimal situation against New Orleans indoors. This is a huge game and there’s no reason to expect a dud. This will be a shootout. If Jones plays, this pick will change.
Steve Smith Sr. – First, his price has come down to a mere 4100. So i think he’ll be able to reach his value. Second, I think Steve Smith Sr. is in for a big game. Before I get to the Houston pass defense. Lets discuss the Houston Offense. They have 3rd or 4th stringer starting, so they will be all over trying to run the ball. If I’m Baltimore, I don’t want Houston to be in the game from the get go. I would abandon the run and just pass into a way below average pass defense. Why let them hang around by making this a running game on both sides. They give up many big plays in the air and are average at sacking the QB. He may not get the targets of Torrey Smith, but he’ll get some deep shots on Sunday.
Rob Gronkowski – I wanted to take other players but I stuck with Gronk. He’s in a greta situation as always and he’ll get his catches, and yards with some upside.
Donte Moncrief – As of now it’s Moncrief, as It looks like TY Hilton might not be playing. If so, he’d be a starter and will get tons of targets. NO TY. NO BRAINER. But this could change and so would this pick.
RAVENS D – I wanted to take the Seahawks but I needed to save some money. This could be a field day against a 4th string QB. Shutout and everything else is on the table. Others to consider would be Detroit against Clausen.
