It's Week 16 of the NFL season and we couldn't complete the year without an Impemba takeover of the NFL DFS playbook. It's Christmas week and the NFL decided to not only give us two games on Saturday but three games on Monday for Christmas Day. With the rest of the primetime games on the schedule we are left with only nine games on this week's Sunday main slate for our DFS contests which is headlined by the Dallas Cowboys facing off against the Miami Dolphins in a game that sees the Dolphins as 1.5-point home favorites with a total set at a slate high 50.5. While that matchup may have the highest total, there are still some great games to focus on here when it comes to our DFS builds and if you've looked at the NFL DFS Ownership Projections you will see which game the majority of the field is looking to stack.  With nine games the ownership percentages on certain plays feel to be a bit more consolidated, especially with the lack of truly high, priced players on this slate. That said, chalk plays don't always mean good plays and if you listened to the NFL DFS Show that I did with Howard Bender then you know there are some projected high rostered plays that I'm not exactly the biggest fans of this week. 

 

With our current holiday sale going on, let's take a few moments to first welcome any and all new subscribers. Before we dive right into the plays, for those who may be new to the Fantasy Alarm #FAmily, here is a rundown of the NFL DFS content you should be studying while creating your winning DFS lineups. 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 I provide you with a list of players I am looking at throughout the week. We have the NFL DFS Show with me & Howard Bender, which you can click below and watch as we talk through each position, our favorite plays and even build a lineup on DraftKings. Howard also does 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.

If you are ready, let's now dive into the Week 16 NFL DFS Playbook!

Don't forget to listen/watch the NFL Week 16 DFS Show with me & Jon Impemba while you build your lineups!
