Top NFL DFS Redraft Start Sit Week 16 Saturday Slate

With the Eagles at Commanders and Packers at Bears for Week 16’s Saturday Slate, we have two nice games to stack for Top NFL DFS.

The Philadelphia vs. Washington game is the best offensive environment, as the Commanders allow 2nd‑most QB fantasy points. The Commanders with Marcus Mariota are big underdogs, but can put up points with bring-back options that are viable.

In Chicago, it’s going to be a slower pace, a more balanced attack from them and Green Bay in a colder environment. Both teams will likely lean on the run like last time, which will chew up some clock. Although it could get run-heavy, there is still some leverage at the receiver position.

Top Plays by Position

QUARTERBACK

1. Jalen Hurts — Eagles: Top overall play

Commanders allow the second‑most fantasy points to QBs
Hurts is coming off 22.9 DK points with 3 passing TDs and 39 rushing yards
Best ceiling on the slate; ideal for stacks with A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith.

2. Jordan Love — Packers

Solid mid‑tier pivot; Bears’ defense is improved but still beatable.
Works best in game stacks with Doubs/Wicks.

3. Marcus Mariota — Commanders

Rushing gives him slate‑breaking upside.
Lower floor than Hurts but perfect for GPP leverage.

RUNNING BACK

1. Josh Jacobs — Packers

Highlighted as a top Saturday play.
Should see 18–22 touches in a slower, grind‑style game.

2. Saquon Barkley — Eagles

The game script could tilt run‑heavy if the Eagles lead.
TD variance makes him a GPP play.

3. Chris Rodriguez Jr. — Commanders

Volume + goal‑line role keeps him viable as a bring‑back.

WIDE RECEIVER

1. A.J. Brown — Eagles: Top WR on slate

Elite stack with Hurts; Commanders’ secondary is exploitable.

2. DeVonta Smith — Eagles

Perfect leverage off Brown chalk.
Double stacks with Hurts are extremely viable on a 2‑game slate.

3. DJ Moore — Bears

Williams’ top target; the ceiling is massive if the game shoots out with no Luther Burden or Rome Odunze.

4. Packers WRs (Doubs, Wicks, Reed with Watson potentially out)

Salary‑saving options; choose based on lineup construction.

TIGHT END

1. Dallas Goedert — Eagles

Best TE ceiling on slate.
TE is thin, so he’ll be chalky.

2. Colston Loveland— Bears

Strong pivot; Williams trusts him in the red zone.

3. Ben Sinnott — Commanders

Cheap bring‑back in Hurts stacks.
