Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate and even if you don't, you get the most wonderful gift in the world – a three-game DFS slate for NFL Week 16. We hope you had a spectacular Sunday and both your cash game and GPP lineups did well. Now you get to take that money and have some fun here on Christmas Day. You've got some spectacular match-ups here and a phenomenal player pool – so good and so diverse, I think you could even play some cash games on this slate. Yes, there is player overlap, but just look at your QB options – Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Brock Purdy? You can go in a ton of different directions. Personally, I only play GPP tournaments on days like this, but again, there really aren't that many chalk, no-brainer guys to set in your lineup which enables you to be successful with a few pivots in cash. Above everything, have some fun with this slate. We have two division games and a potential Super Bowl preview, so this should be a great day.

 

 

Before we get to the actual Playbook and plays I like, please allow me to welcome any and all new subscribers and point out some of the amazing content we've published throughout the week. Take a look at all the DFS stuff as well as the seasonal. Both will help you out. Let's start with our NFL tools. We continue to crunch the numbers and tweak our algorithms so that our daily fantasy football projections are the best in the industry and that, in turn, has improved things like our Lineup Generator/DFS Optimizer, our DFS Compare tool and even our NFL DFS Ownership Projections. Again, all right here on one site for your convenience.

Again, if you are new to the #FAmily, welcome! All the aforementioned tools are, obviously, at your disposal as well, but please allow me to point you towards more of the content and tools we provide to help you crush your DFS contests each week. It also makes for a nice introduction to our DFS team.

QB Coach – Jon Impemba (@jimpemba777)

RB Coach -- Justin Vreeland (@JustinVreeland)

WR Coach -- Colby Conway (@colbyrconway)

TE Coach -- Andrew Cooper (@CoopAFiasco)

D/ST Coach -- Dan Malin (@RealDANlanta)

In addition to the positional coaching pieces, you also have things like the DFS Watch List, where Impemba also provides you with a list of players he's been looking at throughout the week. We have the NFL DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba, which you can click below and watch as we talk through each position, our favorite plays and even build a lineup on DraftKings. This week I took care of the Value Plays & Contrarian Corner videos so be sure to check that out as well. Also, don't miss out on the complete NFL Weekly Match-Up Report from Britt Flinn (@britt_flinn) and the all-important WR/CB Match-Up Report from JB Barry (@FantasyCoachJB).

If you haven't started bookmarking everything, do yourself a favor and do it now. Yes, that's a lot of content and sure, it can be overwhelming, but these pieces come out throughout the week, so if you're seeing all of this for the first time, just know that it all starts trickling out on Tuesday so you can attack the info steadily rather than get slammed all at once. I would suggest that you go through the NFL DFS Menu and start bookmarking a lot of these pieces for ease of use in the future.

Once you've got all of that under your belt, it's time to look at the Playbook. It usually arrives in the early afternoon on Saturdays which gives you ample time to read through everything, make your notes and begin working on your lineups. On Sunday morning, we will provide you with Example Lineups for both cash games and GPP tournaments on DraftKings and FanDuel, so you have something to compare your own to before finalizing.

Pretty sure that sums up the basics, and as you should know, if you have any questions, we are all available via the Fantasy Alarm Discord Chat, social media and even email, so please do not ever hesitate to ask for help. That's what we are here for.
