Just two weeks remain in the NFL season. With most people's season-long fantasy seasons coming to a close, the focus for many shifts to DFS. Santa brings us 12 Christmas Eve NFL matchups offering a full slate of games for Saturday. In addition to the players listed in my DraftKings rankings, here are a few more players that are worth a look this week. Philip Rivers is priced at $6,900 and has a great matchup against the Browns defense. If you are looking to pay up at quarterback, Matt Ryan had his best performance of the season against the Panthers and sees Carolina again this week. Isaiah Crowell is a nice bargain play at running back. He faces a bad Chargers defense and is priced at just $4,100. Falcons receiver Tyler Gabriel has had 14 or more fantasy points in six of his last seven games. Gabriel is priced at just $6,200 against a suspect Panthers secondary. Willie Snead is a nice lottery ticket at wide receiver in tournaments at just $5,500. You can reach out to me on Twitter with fantasy football or DFS questions @JonDAdams. Players are listed in order from least to greatest level of priority. Click the arrow on the right side of the above image to see my Week 16 DraftKings NFL lineup picks. (Getty)
No. 9 New England Patrots DST
Position: Defense
Matchup: vs. Jets
Price: $3,600
Put Them in Your Lineup: There's more bad news in the cards for the Jets as they go on the road to face the Patriots this week. The Patriots defense has been surging as of late. They have had 8 or more DraftKings points for four straight weeks. They get to face a Jets offense that has not scored 20 points since November 6th against the Dolphins. Look for their offensive slump to continue as the Patriots fight for the top seed in the AFC. (Getty)
No. 8 WR Stefon Diggs
Team: Minnesota Vikings
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: at Packers
Price: $5,900
Put Him in Your Lineup: Diggs has seen a dip in production with just 10 targets over the last two games. However, Diggs has shown potential to perform well this season with six games with 13 or more DraftKings points. He had his best performance of 2016 against the Packers with 36 DraftKings points. For $5,900, Diggs is a great play especially in tournaments for his upside combined with his low ownership levels. (Getty)
No. 7 RB Doug Martin
Team: Tampa Bay Bucs
Position: Running Back
Matchup: at Saints
Price: $5,400
Put Him in Your Lineup: Martin is quite a bargain this week after coming off a bad performance in Dallas where he rushed for just 2.6 yards per carry. The good news for Martin is he faces a bad Saints defense this week. He has already performed well against them this season as he had 16 DraftKings points in Week 14 against the Saints. I like Martin as a flex play this week as people try to fade him after his first poor performance in six weeks. In the eight games he has played this season, Martin has hit double digits six times.

No. 6 TE Kyle Rudolph
Team: Minnesota Vikings
Position: Tight End
Matchup: at Packers
Price: $4,900
Put Him in Your Lineup: Yes, we are going with Rudolph again at tight end. There has been little consistency this season at the position, but Rudolph has been the exception to the rule. He has had 8 or more targets the last four weeks. Rudolph has been one of the bright spots of an anemic Vikings offense and don't expect that to change this week. He performed well in limited targets against the Packers earlier this season and had 12 DraftKings points. Look for him to top that as he gives you an elite option that is priced below other players at his position. (Getty)
No. 5 WR DeAndre Hopkins
Team: Houston Texans
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: vs. Bengals
Price: $5,200
Put Him in Your Lineup: Season long players may have a bad taste in their mouth with Hopkins underwhelming performance this season for a player many drafted in the first round. There's reason for optimism to close out the season. Hopkins has hit double digits in four of the last five games. Last week, he received the most targets this season (17) in a game where Tom Savage took over at quarterback. Savage is back under center and would be foolish to not look Hopkins way often in Week 16. Look for Hopkins to have another great performance with Savage peppering him with targets. (Getty)
No. 4 WR DeSean Jackson
Team: Washington Redskins
Position: Wide Receiver
Matchup: at Bears
Price: $5,500
Put Him in Your Lineup: Historically, Jackson has been a boom-or-bust player in fantasy. As of late, he has been mostly boom. He's had 20 or more points in three of their last four games. This week, he gets another plus matchup against a bad Bears secondary. He's priced at just $5,500 making him a great play in tournaments but worth the risk in cash games as well. Over the last month, Jackson has had his best fantasy performances this season. (Getty)
No. 3 QB Russell Wilson
Team: Seattle Seahawks
Position: Quarterback
Matchup: vs. Cardinals
Price: $6,300
Put Him in Your Lineup: This is not your father's Cardinals defense. It's a defense that just gave up 48 points to the Saints. Wilson has been as hard to predict as any other quarterback this season. Wilson has battled injuries and shaky offensive line play. Here's what we know, the Seahawks offense has played its best at home and Wilson's fantasy numbers reflect that. He's priced as an average quarterback based on a perceived bad matchup. Just like last week, Wilson is capable of putting up another performance of 20 or more DraftKings points in a game where Seattle is fighting for a first round bye. (Getty)
No. 2 RB Ty Montgomery
Team: Green Bay Packers
Position: Running Back
Matchup: vs. Vikings
Price: $5,900
Put Him in Your Lineup: If you had Montgomery in your lineup the last two weeks, chances are you have performed well on DraftKings. While his ownership percentages are likely to go up in light of the workload he has been receiving, he's too much of a value to pass up. The great thing about Montgomery is his versatility that allows him to pick up points in both the running and passing game. Since being named the lead running back he scored 33 and 17 DraftKings points. This is not the same Vikings defense we saw earlier this season. They gave up 153 rushing yards last week against the Colts, and Montgomery is poised to expose them again this week. (Getty)
No. 1 RB Jordan Howard
Team: Chicago Bears
Position: Running Back
Matchup: vs. Redskins
Price: $6,300
Put Him in Your Lineup: We've been riding Jordan Howard for many of our DFS lineups. There are a few key reasons including his consistency and production. Despite that production, Howard is still priced at a great value of $6,300. This week, Howard gets a plus matchup against the Redskins defense. He has had 17 or more carries in four of his last five games. The Bears have also made an effort to get him involved in the passing game. You would have to look back to Week 7 to see Howard's last single-digit performance on DraftKings. (Getty)
