NFL Week 15 action is here. Here are five recommended plays to help you win big in DraftKings GPP and cash game competitions.
RB DERRICK HENRY, TENNESSEE TITANS ($8,000 ON DRAFTKINGS) @ LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
- Tennessee at Los Angeles offers a fantasy-friendly 46.5-point over/under.
- PFF’s OL/DL matchup chart gives Tennessee the second-best run-blocking matchup advantage (20.0%) on the week.
- PFF’s ownership projections place running back Derrick Henry’s (85.1 PFF rushing grade) 18.1% expected rostership rate as the second highest at the position. His $8,000 DraftKings salary is $500 less than this week’s running back maximum.
- Henry is the go-to running back chalk play in cash games.
- Los Angeles’ fragile run defense will be without 2021 Pro Bowl safety Derwin James (76.9 PFF run-defense grade).
