Are you playing weekly fantasy football yet? Avoid the injuries and restart your season by giving Draft Kings weekly fantasy football a try. Whether you are playing for a championship this week or missed the playoffs, there is still plenty of time to make this the greatest fantasy football season ever with a big win over at Draft Kings!!
I don't know what it is but I am absolutely in love with my lineups this week. Last week the optimal lineups were solid for cash games but kind of fizzled in cashing in on the bigger tournaments. This week I am feeling as though both lineups are strong enough to cash in a major way. Those of you who read the DFS Playbook Optimal Lineups every week know that I do not make these sort of proclimations very often.
Best of luck to all of you who are playing for championships in seasonal leagues this week and for those of you striving for a big tournament win in DFS. Happy Holidays to all of you as well!!
Here is the DFS Playbook Optimal Lineups for Week 16:
