Welcome to NFL Week 16 and another chance to build some winning DFS lineups and put some extra holiday cash into your pocket playing Sunday's main slate.

We had another successful run last week as most of our example lineups cashed, though they didn't dominate the way they did the week before. It wasn't that we did anything different with the process. We just grabbed some of the wrong guys from the Playbook. Chuba Hubbard was a bust against Dallas, David Montgomery got hurt, Tua Tagovailoa failed with limited protection due to the absence of Terron Armstead and Calvin Ridley's production dropped with the mid-game QB change. It happens. But if you avoided those pitfalls and worked out of the Playbook, you had yourself a spectacular day.

Here's a look at what last week's Playbook/Dart Board optimal lineups were:

 

But as always, we don't want to get hung up on what was. Let's talk about what is and get to the NFL Week 16 action!

NFL Injuries: What to Know for Week 16 DFS

**Be sure to always check in with the most recently updated NFL Injury Report ahead of the Week 16 Sunday games. Here are a few players we are monitoring which could help open up additional value for GPP tournament lineups.

Key Names to Track:

Tony Pollard, RB Tennessee Titans

  • Listed as questionable after not practicing all week. Out or not, it gives value to Tyjae Spears

Tyrone Tracy, RB New York Giants

  • Listed as questionable with an ankle injury; if he is out then Devin Singletary could be intriguing

Tyreek Hill/Jaylen Waddle, WR Miami Dolphins

Jalen Coker/David Moore, WR Carolina Panthers

  • Both listed as questionable. With Xavier Legette already ruled out, if one of these guys are out, the other could be a nice dart-throw

Cedric Tillman, WR Cleveland Browns

  • Remains in concussion protocol and listed as questionable for Sunday

Cade Otton, TE Tampa Bay Buccaneers

  • Doubtful with a knee injury; opens up possible dart-throw in Payne Durham, but probably only for SNF showdown contests

Zach Ertz, TE Washington Commanders

  • Remains in concussion protocol and is questionable for Sunday; Opens up Ben Sinnott as a Dart Board candidate
