NFL DFS: Optimizer Reveals 2025 Week 16 Daily Fantasy Football Picks for DraftKings, FanDuel

Patrick Mahomes facing the Tennessee Titans and their decimated secondary could have been one of the best matchups of the year for NFL DFS players to aim for. Instead, Mahomes suffered a torn ACL last week as the Chiefs also saw their playoff hopes end. What level of trust can you place in your backup, Gardner Minshew, as he plays against the Titans on Sunday afternoon? Minshew is priced at $4,500 on FanDuel and $6,500 on DraftKings, making him a much cheaper option than other quarterbacks in the NFL DFS player pool like Josh Allen, Dak Prescott and Joe Burrow, but not as cheap as Quinn Ewers, who will start in Tua Tagovailoa’s place.

You can only see your ideal lineups on SportsLine. NFL Week 16 Top DFS Picks for Sunday One of the Optimizer’s top DFS value picks for Sunday is Texans quarterback CJ Stroud at $5,500 on DraftKings and $7,200 on FanDuel. He faces the Raiders, who have allowed opposing quarterbacks the eighth-best rating this season. Stroud is also coming off one of his most complete performances of the season, throwing for 260 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions and taking just one sack. See who else picks here.You can also bet that Stroud will surpass his 227.5 total passing yards on DraftKings: The Optimizer’s NFL DFS strategy also includes building around Lions receiver Jameson Williams for $6,400 on DraftKings and $6,700 on FanDuel. Williams has a tremendous matchup against a Pittsburgh secondary that has given up the seventh-most yards to opposing receivers this season. Pittsburgh’s defense will be without starting cornerback James Pierre (calf) and edge rusher TJ Watt (lung) again this week. That should make life even easier in Detroit’s passing game, and Williams is the unit’s value bet, as he comes in roughly $2,000 cheaper than Amon-Ra St. Brown on both sites. You can see the rest of the optimizer’s NFL DFS picks here. Bet on Williams to surpass 69.5 receiving yards on DraftKings: How to build Sunday’s Week 16 NFL DFS lineups The NFL DFS Optimizer is also targeting several undervalued players who could explode for big numbers on Sunday. These players can be the difference between winning tournaments and cash games or going home with nothing. You can only see who they are and the rest of the optimizer’s NFL DFS picks on SportsLine. So, what is the ideal NFL DFS lineup for Sunday and which secret NFL DFS picks offer huge value?
