This week we have two Saturday games which creates an extra opportunity with the Thursday/Saturday contests over at Draft Kings. I am a big fan of these contests for new players as they offer a solid amount of players to choose from but are still small enough to not be overwhelming.
So, I am posting my optimal lineup for this contest instead of narrowing down the players as per usual. The Sunday edition of the DFS Playbook will be up on Saturday morning as usual.
Here is the DFS NFL Playbook for Thursday/Saturday contests of Week 16:
| POS | PLAYER | PRICE | Comment |
| QB | Mark Sanchez | 6,200 | The best QB by far in this contest |
| RB | Alfonso Smith | 3,500 | Pivot to McCoy if Gore plays |
| RB | Toby Gerhart | 3,000 | The Titans DST is dead & should bring Gerhart to life |
| WR | Jeremy Maclin | 6,500 | Redskins give up 5th most points to WR's |
| WR | DeSean Jackson | 5,500 | Revenge game; went 5-117-1 last time Vs Eagles |
| WR | Malcom Floyd | 4,000 | With Allen out, Floyd will be Rivers main target |
| TE | Delanie Walker | 4,500 | Whitehurst will target Walker 10+ times |
| FLEX | Jordan Matthews | 5,100 | No doubt a rebound game for J-Matt this week |
| DST | Jacksonville Jaguars | 2,500 | Nobody realizes Jags DST has been solid last 4 weeks |
