NFL DFS Dart Board: Week 16

He's slightly out of the normal Dart Board price range but we don't want to overlook Carter in what should be a very soft match-up for him this week. His lack of production last week should help keep ownership down, but the Jaguars have allowed a whopping 17 rushing touchdowns on the year while giving up almost 113 rushing yards per game. Carter also does the pass-catching work out of the backfield which helps raise his floor a bit.

Johnson slots in as the Bucs No. 2 wide receiver and he's worked enough with Tom Brady for us to have some confidence in him this week, especially if you were looking to stack Tampa at all but not go crazy overboard on cost. He saw more than 90-percent of the snaps last week after Chris Godwin went down and racked up seven targets. That volume could even increase if the Panthers defense focuses most of its attention on stopping Gronk and Antonio Brown. UPDATE: Keep an eye on Breshad Perriman's status. Should Perriman be active, I might be less excited about using Johnson. 

LATE ADD – I mentioned Berrios in the write-up for Keelan Cole and after seeing just how high everyone is on him, I wanted to make sure he is added here on the chance you are using the Lineup Generator and the “Playbook & Dart Board Only” feature. Looks like he's going to be popular enough for cash games which moves Cole into more of a GPP play for me.

Collins has been gradually improving throughout the year and while Chris Conley is the veteran who most will think should see the extra targets with Brandon Cooks on the reserve/COVID list, Collins has all the skills to dominate both across the middle and the vertical game inside the end zone. The Texans are going to be playing catch-up throughout the day, so look for Collins to get a strong number of targets with the team down their best wideout.

We have Sanders in the Playbook, but McKenzie could prove to be the GPP dart Gabriel Davis became last week. McKenzie plays the slot well and should fill in nicely for Cole Beasley, but he also has the speed and wherewithal to stretch the defense and break for a long touchdown as well. We've seen Josh Allen look to him in the past and given the need to mix it up against the Patriots, McKenzie could be exactly what we need.

We'll have to watch if Dan Arnold is active because, if he is, we may have to pivot off O'Shaughnessy who has been a nice security blanket for Trevor Lawrence throughout the year. But Arnold is the better pass-catcher, a skill of his the Jaguars sought out when they traded for him mid-season. Keep an eye on the Jaguars' inactives Sunday morning to see. Whichever guy is starting, he gets a Jets defense that allows the seventh-most fantasy points per game and routinely gets shredded by tight ends. 

HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!! Last season was a weird year for everyone as COVID ran rampant through the league and tilted the whole world off its axis. That disruption in the force obviously hindered our man Kyle Rudolph who routinely performs well during the Christmas holiday weekend. An exact science? No. But it's just something that routinely happened when he was in Minnesota and we're looking for that to extend to this week with the Giants. While everyone else is latching onto Evan Engram against the Eagles, who suck against the tight end, we're going to GPP pivot our way down Santa Claus Lane and get our cheap touchdown for the week!
