NFL DFS Week 15 – The Sunday Crossword

Week 14 saw scoring take a dip, and nearly all of the DraftKings Millionaire Maker GPP top-10 tickets featured a healthy Seattle stack and a sick Odell Beckham (this week's price $9,200). Injuries took tickets out early, then late and left winners of 50/50s even more random. Very few people took a chance on stud Todd Gurley (on a Thursday game this week) and those who did were rewarded with cash money. We should've known that it pays to have a memory longer than two weeks. Then again, I'm as guilty of a short memory as anyone, as you're about to see.

You'll find that my ticket chases last week's points, but I hope my reasoning is sound. Many expensive wide receivers are facing tough matchups, while Seattle's running backs may be asked only to block or catch passes. So I'm loving that Seattle passing stack once again. And Odell, well, what can you say? Pure greatness. Although he's playing a corner who runs his mouth and backs it up, I'm hoping that still puts Odell above the position's scoring average. So although chasing points is dangerous, I believe it was Eliot Ness who said, "I've become what I've beheld and am content that I have done right." No? Okay, you got me; it was Kevin Costner.

Tampa Bay plays at St. Louis on Thursday night in a game that, if your roof was on fire, this matchup might actually put it out. The Jets play in Dallas on Saturday night, so no Brandon Marshall and no screaming as to why Dez isn't getting any targets. Other than that, here are some players for your Sunday and Monday DFS consideration:

QB

Russell Wilson ($7,000) – No player is hotter, and with no Rawls he'll be asked to do even more

Carson Palmer ($7,000) – Love his matchup Sunday night against Philly

Drew Brees ($6,600) – Detroit can be tough, but I'm not scared

Blake Bortles ($6,100) – Sold his soul and the devil wants his money back

Alex Smith ($5,100) – When you find your pockets empty except for a few crumbs

T.J. Yates ($5,000) – When even the crumbs are gone

RB

Adrian Peterson ($7,100) – Triedest and truest for all ye that remember

Lamar Miller ($6,300) – Displayed both his and his coaches' talent on Monday night

David Johnson ($5,700) – If he's healthy; Philadelphia sends a gold-embroidered invitation

Eddie Lacy ($5,200) – My eyes say yes, while my gut bewares

Jeremy Hill ($5,000), Gio Bernard ($4,500) – Expect Cincy to play closer to the ground without Dalton

Buck Allen ($4,500) – Still getting those targets

Tim Hightower ($3,900) – Cheapest clear #1 running back

WR

Odell Beckham ($9,200) – Josh Norman will scare others away, but not me

Julio Jones ($8,500) – With many tough matchups for expensive wideouts, he's looking nice

Calvin Johnson ($6,900) – Friendly matchup against New Orleans

Demaryius Thomas ($6,800) – Lots of targets he might think about catching

Sammy Watkins ($6,200) – Too cheap for his recent production

Doug Baldwin ($5,800), Tyler Lockett ($4,200) – Seattle is gonna have to keep throwing it

Jeremy Maclin ($5,500) – You could do a lot worse

John Brown ($4,900), Michael Floyd ($4,400) – A Cardinals stack is invitingly priced

TE

Gronk ($7,700) – Back and all out of bubblegum

Jordan Reed ($5,900) – Getting what you pay for and more

Ben Watson ($4,800) – High floor and ceiling

Julius Thomas ($4,700) – A cheap piece of the Bortles experience

DEF

Seattle ($4,200) – Home against Cleveland seems unfair

New England ($3,700) – Can't see Mariota having a good day

Houston ($2,500) – Save some bucks and face some Hasselbeck (make sure Luck isn't playing!)
