DraftHustle’s Top DFS Plays of the week for FanDuel and DraftKings
QB
Matthew Stafford – LAR vs Commanders
FanDuel - $7,200; DraftKings - $6,000
Matthew Stafford pops p at the best value and the strongest play in the DraftHustle QB model in week 15 for good reason. He has scored at least 22.96 fantasy points over his last 3 games, which included two tough matchups against the Ravens and the Browns in the last 2 weeks. In week 15 he gets to face the Washington Commanders who are the best fantasy matchup for QBS. They rank in the top 3 of most passing yards allowed, passing yards per attempt allowed, TD% allowed and fantasy PPG allowed to QBS. At $7,200, playing Matthew Stafford in DFS seems almost too easy.
RB
Ezekiel Elliott – NE vs Chiefs
FanDuel - $6,800; DraftKings - $5,900
With Rhamondre Stevenson out again in week 15, Ezekiel Elliott is back as the lead ball carrier for the New England Patriots and the top play for DraftHustle as well. HE took full advantage of the volume in week 14, with 29 total touches and 23.5 FanDuel points. He faces a tough Kansas City defense in week 15, but they have not been as dominate against the run recently. They have allowed RBs to score the 4th most points above their average in the past 5 weeks. Zeke will get all the carries again, and he should get plenty of work in the passing game no matter the game script.
WR
Puka Nacua – LAR vs Commanders
FanDuel - $8,200; DraftKings - $7,300
Puka Nacua is the preferred Rams WR to roster in week 15 in a great matchup against the Commanders. He is slightly cheaper than teammate Cooper Kupp on both DraftKings and FanDuel, making Puka a slightly better value. He has at least 7 targets in every game this season, making him a more consistent target for Matthew Stafford. The Commanders give up the most receiving yards per game, most receiving yards per attempt allowed, have the highest TD% allowed, and give up the 2nd most FanDuel PPG to WRs. Either Rams WR is a great option to stack with Stafford, or go with both if you feel so inclined.
TE
Darren Waller – NYG vs Saints
FanDuel - $5,500; DraftKings - $4,400
Darren Waller is set to return after 7 weeks off, he and will immediately return to his role as the top pass catcher for the New York Giants. In his last 3 healthy games before is injury, he averaged 8.6 targets, 6.6 receptions, and 75.6 receiving yards per game. He faces the Saints who have struggled against TEs this season. They have given up the 4th most FanDuel PPGs to TEs over the season, including the most against the position over the last 5 weeks. Noone will be looking to play Waller in his 1st game returning, making him a solid GPP play as well as cash games.
D/ST
Cleveland Browns – vs Bears
FanDuel - $4,400; DraftKings - $3,500
The Cleveland Browns pop up as the best value on the Week 15 main slate for the second week in a row. They get to face the Chicago Bears who have played better as of late, but continue to give up plenty sacks and turnovers. Cleveland is favored by 3 points in a game with only a 37.5 Vegas O/U, so We don’t expect many points to be scored, making Cleveland a strong DFS play.
