If you didn't make it through to your fantasy football league's semifinals, turn your attention to DFS as there are lots of games at your disposal. Not many great games on the schedule in Week 15, with the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints headlining this week's slate. There is lots of firepower in that matchup and it's likely one that DFS players will stack, but let's dive into some value plays to get you over the top this week.
Allen Robinson II, WR - Chicago Bears (DK: $7,400 / FD: $7,300)
He's still in that upper tier on both platforms in terms of pricing, but Robinson is too good to pass up. Robinson has seen nine targets and hit 70 receiving yards in four of his last five games, so it's clear that Mitchell Trubisky feels safe throwing him the ball. It's a tasty matchup since the Vikings have given up the most fantasy points to WR's this season and I expect Trubisky to move the ball with relative ease. Robinson heads into this game with 128 targets on the year (5th in NFL) and his physical presence on the outside should be too much for the Vikings corners.
J.K. Dobbins, RB - Baltimore Ravens (DK: $5,900 / FD: $5,900)
This spread sits at -13 for the Ravens on their home turf and I expect them to be able to pound the ball inside against a Jags defense giving up 22.9 FPG to RB's (5th-most in NFL). Last week, Dobbins led the Ravens with 13 carries and he's been handed the rock at least 10 times in three straight games and found the end zone in each of those. His only competition in the backfield right now seems to be Gus Edwards -- when Lamar Jackson doesn't take off -- but, Dobbins should continue to see his workload increase. The Ravens should lean on the ground game here and Dobbins seems poised to benefit, giving him an opportunity to build on his 0.8 RYOE/ATT (Rush Yards Over Expected per Attempt), good enough for sixth in the NFL.
Sony Michel, RB - New England Patriots (DK: $4,300 / FD: $5,000)
This could be a really sneaky play this week if you're looking to load up on those high end skill players. Damien Harris has been ruled out for this game, which brings Michel to the forefront of the Pats backfield. He's averaging 5.3 YPC in the six games that he has suited up this year and with the uncertainty of several players on both sides of the field in this game, expect Bill Belichick to lean on his ground game. Michel has performed well against the Dolphins, averaging 72.6 YPG and adding four touchdowns in five career games.
T.Y. Hilton, WR - Indianapolis Colts (DK: $5,500 / FD: $6,800)
Hilton has been red hot the last three games, hauling in at least five catches, 80 yards and
adding four touchdowns in that stretch. Now, he gets a Texans team surrendering 25.9 FPG to WR's (10th-most in NFL), plus Justin Reid and Bradley Roby won't play in this game. Historically, Hilton loves facing the Texans, averaging 5.4 receptions, 96.9 yards and scoring 11 TD's in 17 career matchups. Expect Hilton to feast this week on a weak Texans secondary.
