Saturday Night Football FanDuel Picks Dolphins-Bills NFL DFS lineup advice for single-game tournaments

Blog Article

It's a special time of year, when everyone's in the holiday spirit and football is scheduled all day on Saturday. Hooray for Christmas miracles! Capping off a great triple-header this Saturday, the AFC East-leading Bills (10-3) host the floundering divisional-foe Dolphins (8-5) in what should be a windy, snowy me s. We strongly advise treading lightly on the seven-point spread, and recommend you draft a FanDuel single-game tournament and make some DFS money instead! WEEK 15 DFS LINEUPS: | MVP candidate Josh Allen leads the Bills, one of the most impre sive teams on both sides of the ball all season. They have won four straight games, rank top four in both pointsyards, own the second-best scoring defense, and rank in the top 10 in total yards allowed. However, they could put the division title in jeopardy if they can't bag a win this weekend. Miami beat Buffalo when these squads met in South Beach early in the season, and a sweep would earn the 'fins the tiebreaker if they wind up with the same record as the Bills. WEEK 15 DFS: | But Miami has endured plenty of challenges over its topsy-turvy season. After a smoldering start with new franchise wideout Tyreek Hill, QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered two concu sions in five days, scaring the crap out of everyone. Once he returned from a multi-game absence, the Dolphins returned to glory by winning five in a row. But an early-December road trip to Cali ground everything to a halt, with the Dolphins dropping consecutive lo ses to the 49ers and Chargers. In both games, Miami failed to eclipse 14 first downs and 17 points. And against the Bolts, both Hill (ankle) and starting running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (hip) suffered injuries. How do we po sibly project this game in terms of standard betting? Quite simply, we won't. I'll give the advantage to Buffalo at home with the healthier offensive nucleus, but I wouldn't spend a Steve Larmer Kids Jersey dime of your money betting on it. We will, however, discu s our favorite DFS plays from this primetime divisional clash. So, let's dive in, and have some fun rooting for players and not game scores. Before we break down our lineup, here are the notable scoring settings for FanDuel single-game contests: The point total for the "MVP" is multiplied by 1.5, but he doesn't cost any additional money like the "Captain" in DraftKings Showdown contests. FanDuel's default scoring ishalf-point PPRandfour-point pa sing TDs, and there arebonuses for 300-yard/100-yard games like on DraftKings. MORE FD SINGLE GAME: & Brandon Manning Women Jersey #13; . Getty Images MVP (1.5x points): QB Josh Allen, Bills ($17,000) Naturally, we pick the MVP candidate to serve as our MVP. How can we avoid him with a points-boost and no inflated salary in a bad-weather game? The script favors him in every po sible way: at home, in the elements, against a poor secondary allowing the fourth-most FanDuel points to QBs, and with a healthier offensive nucleus than Miami. Hell, Tua and friends looked cold in southern California the past couple weekends, with low temps in the 50s! A 15 degrees windchill will hit this already-banged up offense like a Mike Tyson haymaker to the dome. And even if conditions affect Buffalo's pa sing game, Allen still serves as the best fantasy option. He's no stranger to tucking the ball and running, with 628 yards and six TDs on the ground. Miami, by the way, has surrendered the second-most rushing yards and fourth-most ground TDs to quarterbacks. Like we said, perfect setup! We'll save our money at the backend of our lineup. (Getty Images) AnyFlex WR Tyreek Hill, Dolphins ($16,500) I want nothing to do with Tagovailoa, a native Hawaiian who went to school in Alabama and plays home games in Miami. Give me the best and fastest playmaker in this game in Hill. 'Cheetah' has been the lone bright spot for an otherwise bumbling Dolphins offense over the past couple weeks, and I expect Miami head coach Mike McDaniel to get him the ball by any means po sible. Expect handoffs, dump-offs, screens, reverses, even direct snaps. I trust Hill at 75 percent with an ankle more than I trust fellow receiver Jaylen Waddle who has averaged 4.5 targets the past two weeks or Wilson with an ailing hip. Win or lose, primetime Hill gets it done he's the closest thing to Deion Sanders we've seen in the 21st century. AnyFlex RB Devin Singletary, Bills ($12,000) We're spending like my daughter at a Hallmark Store, so we can only afford one running back. Naturally, I'm taking Singletary so we can basically monopolize Buffalo's ground scores unle s rookie James Cook breaks off a big run. Singletary has been dependable in the red zone this season, and he's always capable of catching short pa ses when Allen faces pre sure and/or can't launch it downfield because of the weather conditions. We have an 8-12 point floor with a 13-17 point ceiling here, not bad for Chris Chelios Jersey a $12,000 investment in a half-PPR format. (Getty Images) AnyFlex WR Isaiah McKenzie, Bills ($8,000) Look, I'm not going anywhere near the weekly stomachache known as Gabe Davis, especially at $11,500. I'd much rather have McKenzie, the speedy slot-man who Ken Dorsey always finds a way to incorporate out of the backfield, via the screen pa s, or in wheel routes. With DFS value investments, you want upside and the comfort of knowing they can produce even in limited volume. McKenzie can turn three touches into 13 points, and we'll take that potential for $8,000 all week and twice on Saturday (I don't even know what that means). AnyFlex TE Dawson Knox, Bills ($7,500) Gue s who I'm picking to win!? It may seem unoriginal and/or risky to go 80 percent Bills, but I have Buffalo dominating this game pretty much from start to finish. Miami just got handled by a defensively-challenged Chargers team and a Brock Purdy-led Niners squad I think MVP candidate Josh Allen, All-Pro Stefon Diggs, and this solid stable of pa s-catchers can withstand 'Tua Time' in the frozen tundra of Buffalo. And who better to cap off our strong-handed squad than Dawson Knox, who flipped into the house for a huge score against the Jets last week? Miami has allowed the third-most FD points to the tight end position this season, which is music to our eyes. Allen should look his tight end's way early and often in snowy, windy, frigid conditions, and the Tenne see native will turn the opportunities into a windfall of points to help push us over the top.
