NFL DraftKings Week 16: Optimal Lineup Picks & Advice

QB: Matt Barkley, Chicago Bears


Opponent: vs. Washington Redskins


Price: $5,000


Hear me out. A quick look through the weekly stat leaders reveals an unsuspecting name or two at quarterback almost every week, and that volatility makes it a viable strategy to go low at the position. Barkley is as low as it gets at the minimum $5,000, but he has quietly topped 20 DraftKings points in two of four starts, he threw for 362 yards in Alshon Jeffery's first game back last week, and the Redskins have given up the fifth-most DraftKings points to the position over the last four weeks despite facing an nonthreatening slate of QB's in Dak Prescott, Carson Palmer, Carson Wentz and Cam Newton.
