Fubo News presents the best DFS fantasy football lineup for Week 16. Watch the NFL live and for free on Fubo this weekend.
We have arrived at Week 16, and last week was brutal. Brock Purdy and Jahmyr Gibbs led our lineup with 27 and 25 points. Chandler was a great plug play for Christian Watson and Trey McBride dominated as well. However, we got nearly nothing from Brandin Cooks, Zay Flowers, and Chase Brown all scoring less than nine points. We spent good money on DK Metcalf as well for him to get just 12.80 points. This week we will be back with a revamped lineup including a handful of players that we have never used. Here is your optimal lineup for Week 16.

QB: Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills – $8,100
I have not picked Josh Allen for quite some time. However, he is going to get a Chargers secondary that was severely exposed last week against Aidan O’Connell and the Raiders. The last time Allen played a defense this week, he threw for 339 yards and two touchdowns with a total of 44.66 fantasy points.
RB: Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs – $6,400
Isiah Pacheco has missed the last two weeks of the season due to an injury and the pair of Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerrick McKinnon feasted on defenses. Let’s also not forget that before Pacheco went down, he was the RB4 and 8 in the last two weeks he played rushing for 165 yards and three touchdowns.
RB: Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens – $5,700
If you thought that Gus Edwards was the prized horse in the Ravens’ stable before, he most definitely is now with the injury to Keaton Mitchell and the result of him being placed on season-ending IR. Edwards ran for 58 yards and had 16 carries last week, the most he has had since Week 8. He should be a top-10 back this week.
WR: Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers – $7,700
Deebo Samuel is back as one of the most coveted fantasy receivers in the industry like he was two years ago. He has had WR1 and 2 performances in the last three weeks. Against the Eagles, he had 116 yards and two touchdowns. Against the Seahawks, he posted 149 yards and a touchdown.

WR: Odell Beckham Jr, Baltimore Ravens – $4,300
I’m a sucker for this Monday Night football game between the Ravens and 49ers with this being my third player from that game alone. Beckham struggled in the last game against the Jaguars, but it was a game where they got ahead early and ran, ran, and ran. He should be back to a 10-target form this week in a much more competitive game.
WR: Gabriel Davis, Buffalo Bills – $5,300
Gabriel Davis has been silent in his last two weeks since the bye. He has posted zero receptions on three targets in two games. However, in the game just before the bye week, he had six receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. He should be back in rare form this week.
TE: Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints – $5,000
Taysom Hill makes more of his damage rushing than he does receiving, but the points still count the same. He struggled against a tough Giants interior last week, but so did the whole team. He should be back this week as he was two weeks ago rushing 13 times for 59 yards and a touchdown.

FLEX: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers – $4,700
If Christian Watson plays, he is a go in my book. In his last game, he totaled seven receptions for 71 yards and two touchdowns for 27.60 yards. He missed the last two games and is still questionable so I would have some target replacements around his price range in this FLEX spot ready in case he isn’t a go again.
DEF: Chicago Bears – $2,800
The Bears have now scored 15+ points in three straight games against the Vikings, Lions, and Browns. They will get Kyler Murray and the Cardinals this week in a game that should push multiple turnovers.
