Welcome to the DFS Optimal Lineups for NFL Week 16!

As I said in the DFS Playbook yesterday, we've got plenty of options at a variety of prices, so we're going to be doing a lot of mixing and matching this week in order to keep some of the elite players locked in. Some interesting developments happening thia week as we've been waiting on news for a couple of backfields -- Washington and Arizona. If Kerwynn Williams and Samaje Perine are out, Kapri Bibbs and Elijah Penny suddenly have value. We also took some bad news as Saints WR Michael Thomas landed on the injury report late Saturday. He's expected to play, but can we trust him in our DFS lineups? Maybe in a GPP tournament, but suddenly my faith in him for cash games is waning.

We'll do the same thing as last week, given the two Saturday games have passed and two games this Monday, and throw in a few GPP add-ons. No need to do the full dart board, just know that the following plays are expected to be weaved into my GPP lineups, both here and in my DFS contests:

GPP Add-Ons: Alex Smith, Kapri Bibbs, Mike Gillislee, Josh Gordon, Sammy Watkins, Antonio Gates, Rams Defense
