DraftKings Main Slate for Week 15 - Wide Receiver (WR)

Demario Douglas has scored 9-11 in four of the last five weeks, ending that stretch with 6 points. If you recall, Jaxon Smith-Njigba was handed the Tyler Lockett torch against the #Cardinals last week and two weeks before. There is some moderate production to primary-slot WRs, which lands Douglas in consideration. It's not glaring or prominent, but with Douglas, you're seeking an 18-point mark from a solid 10-ish-point floor. Douglas isn't the piece you chase, but he is the piece you can use to chase the higher-priced players to deliver a solid winning lineup. #Patriots

By the numbers, the #Giants' WRs have the best matchup against the #Ravens, ranked 30th against WRs on the season but 1st in the last three weeks. After allowing 28+ points in Weeks 8-10, including 58 points to Ja'Marr Chase, they've limited WRs to 16 points or fewer in the last three weeks. The #Giants' offense with Tommy DeVito isn't the greatest motivation to pursue an anomaly, especially with Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton scoring 10 points or fewer in the last five weeks. There's nothing wrong with darts, but not much warrants them. Malik Nabers lands as the only real shot here, scoring 10+ points in the last five weeks and a high of 15. He'll need more toward his 25-point mark but should have enough opportunities to have a shot at it. #Giants

The recent explosion of Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in Week 14 creates more appeal for the #Lions to find ceilings, as the #Bills limited WRs to 18 points or fewer since Week 7. Amon-Ra St. Brown is difficult to chase at his price tag, which is reduced due to his last three games of 10-12 points. Fortunately, you don't have to mash him in there. Jameson Williams hasn't had as much boom or bust in the last five weeks. While we only had one boom of 25 points, providing a floor of 8-13 points in the other four games is helpful. He's a solid-piece-of-the-action play at a discount. While it can continue, I don't anticipate chasing Tim Patrick's 23-point game last week, but if you love the build and he falls to you, he's snapping 62% during the previous three games. #Lions

The #Bengals have allowed 16+ points to WRs since Week 7, including 20+ five times. Calvin Ridley had 9, 14, 6, and 12 points in the last four games. You'd prefer a better floor, but Will Levis has missed him on a few, which could significantly change those numbers. He's priced reasonably enough for a shot toward his 23-point mark in a solid matchup. Nick Westbrook-Ikhine is a glorified dart this season. He's price high for a dart, but he's on the field 94% of the time over the last three weeks, so it's warranted. The data supports either or both of them. #Titans

De'Andre Hopkins is in the conversation with his 13-point floor and 52% snap count. He's found some comfort in this offense and is at an appealing price to build around. Hopkins aside, while some data supports a decent game, it primarily points to Xavier Worthy making a splash against the #Browns. Players named Marvin Mims, Calvin Austin, MVS, Quentin Johnston, and Tre Tucker have scored 15+ points. There are always other options to find it, but I like the shot with him this week. #Chiefs

The #Cowboys allowed 15+ points in the last three weeks, including 24 and 48 points to Terry McLaurin and Ja'Marr Chase. Adam Thielen has scored 22 and 23 points over the previous two weeks. There is no reason not to use him at his current price and mark of 21 points. Xavier Legette has been quiet, scoring 9 points or fewer in the last four weeks. The data supports outside primary WR1 positions, so while the past doesn't provide comfort, he's a solid dart this week. Many have utilized the discount of David Moore, which is warranted, but I wanted to inform you that Jalen Coker is back from injury. This may or may not impact the snaps between Moore and Coker. Ensure to be informed before using one of these two. #Panthers

Josh Downs found a 12-point floor before being injured in Week 12. It included 19 and 25-point games. Anthony Richardson has a comfort with Downs. He's underpriced against a #Broncos' Defense that allowed 15, 22, 25, and 43 points in the last two weeks. Michael Pittman scored 9+ points in the last three weeks, including 15. We haven't seen the same upside with him as with Downs, but he's still reasonably priced as a solid pivot. I lean toward Downs, but both are beneficial discounts for solid builds. #Colts

The #Bills land a healthy WR core heading into Detroit, where the #Lions have allowed 15+ points in the last three weeks, including 23 and 24 points to Keenan Allen and DJ Moore. Khalil Shakir is the only safe play to retain a similar usage and snap count, where he's produced 15+ points in two of the last three weeks while snapping 66%. Amari Cooper should maintain a similar snap count of 50%, which is confusing as Mack Hollins continues to outsnap him each week. Both Cooper and Hollins scored 15 points last week. Keon Coleman practiced in full, so he should return. He scored 18 and 19 points in Weeks 7 and 8 before leaving with 5 points and an injury in Week 9. He was snapping 78% during the 3-game span before his departure. Curtis Samuel is challenging to warrant any consideration, but he started the season on the roster, snapped 60% last week, and is exceptionally cheap. A lot is going on here...I wish I could help you better. #Bills

Tyreek Hill scored 20 and 31 points in his last two games, but his price isn't moving at the same pace. Jaylen Waddle is in the same conversation. He scored 20+ points in two of the previous three games, including 31 points three weeks ago, but he still maintains a 5.7k price tag. Waddle finished the week limited, so ensure you check on his status. The #Texans have been friendly to WRs, allowing 27 and 18 points before the bye and allowing 17+ points in ten games this season. Waddle is harder to trust, but he's come along strong in the last few weeks, and the production supports primary-slot WRs. It's not limited to that, as both are good plays. #Dolphins

The #Jaguars don't have any glaring data to support the plays of DaVante Adams and Garret Wilson. Jacksonville kept WRs to 10 points or fewer from Weeks 7-10, except for Davonta Smith's 18 points and slowed the #Titans to 12 points after allowing splashes of 20+ in two of the last three weeks. Those splashes are helpful even if they didn't exist, but Adams and Wilson are highly targeted and reasonably priced to add to your builds. I'm adding them to the analysis because they are overlooked and can finish your lineups strong. I'm not going out of my way for either piece, but they are worth a few shots. #Jets

Jerry Jeudy's new price tag is warranted, but it changes everything. What was once a cheap dart is now a player to weigh against his 24-point mark. His production is solid, scoring 14+ in the last five weeks, including 17, 29, and 43 in three games. The #Chiefs have been strong, limiting WRs to 20 points or fewer during the season. The positive of that low ceiling is the floor of 15 points nine times. While Jeudy can find his mark, it doesn't promote it. It makes the cheaper price tags of Elijah Moore and Michael Woods more appealing, but primarily to be around rather than the hope of what Jeudy may land you. Moore is priced for a good build and fair shot, while Woods is sneaky, as he's snapped 80%+ when Cedrick Tillman is injured. #Browns

He's always in play at this price, but nothing about the data supports it.
