Fantasy Football: NFL Draftkings Lock Plays Week 15

Josh Allen versus Detroit Lions

Salary: $5,800

The NFL Draftkings price is right once again for Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen who has run about ten football fields in stats that aren’t actually filed in the statistic book. Allen is priced at $5,800 for some odd reason and he has scored 26.30, 33.74, and 24.34 fantasy points in his last three games. In those three games, he has thrown for 3 touchdowns and 4 interceptions which is nothing to brag or be happy about but he is still racking up the points.

Now Allen isn’t one of the pocket quarterbacks as he runs and runs a lot. He has almost ran for 100 hundred yards in the previous three games where in week 12, he ran for 99 yards. He also has two rushing touchdowns to go with those games but just like his interceptions, fumbling is an issue also where he has a total of three through those games.

While the Detroit Lions rank 11th defending the pass, allowing 233 yards per game, they also allow 115 yards on the ground and rankling 18th in defending the run. We know the Buffalo Bills aren’t the most exciting or entertaining team as they have been struggling all season long but with Josh Allen behind center, they are revamping the offense and hoping Josh Allen can be their franchise guy even though his passing abilities are still being worked on.

Joe Mixon vs. Oakland Raiders

Salary: $6,100

This match between the Oakland Raiders and Cincinnati Bengals can go any way. Both teams are struggling horribly and all they have to play for is a top draft pick which means they both need to try to lose this Sunday. Joe Mixon is at full health after a tough mid-season break where Giovanni Bernard stepped in for him. He is currently averaging 78 rushing yards per game while averaging 4.8 rushing yards per carry.

He has found his way in the end-zone by ground six times so far while adding one by receiving. Mixon is averaging a low total of 26 receiving yards per game also. He has been up and down since his return where he has scored 10.5, 14.2, 22.5, 11.5 and 27.8 fantasy points in his previous five games. He has faced some pretty tough defenses over that stretch also. But another upside to his position this weekend is that he’s only priced at $6,100 and with the depth of this 11 game slate on Draftkings, that is just perfect o be a lock play.

Now when it comes to the Oakland Raiders and their defense, we know they are just pretty bad. Not only can’t they defend opposing NFL teams, they can’t even defend Oakland and stay there in their final year, 2019, to play before leaving for Las Vegas. But back to the game this weekend. The Raiders are ranked 31st in rush defense, allowing 144 yards per game!

Now how can we shy away from this Mixon versus a bad rush defense? We can’t. Also, in the passing game, Raiders only allow running-backs to average around 5 receptions and 34 yards per game. While that is good on their part, if Mixon and the Bengals can get the run game rolling then they can most likely get momentum going to hit Mixon out of the backfield, giving him more upside with this match-up.

Dede Westbrook vs. Washington Redskins

Salary: $4,500

While you may have thought the Cincinnati Bengals and Oakland Raiders game was a boring one, how about this Washington Redskins and Jacksonville Jaguars game? This game doesn’t have too many bright spots but one is Dede Westbrook. Westbrook is another player on this slate who comes in at a great price for what he’ll most likely do against the struggling Redskins.

Dede Westbrook is averaging 50 yards a game with five touchdowns on the season in an offense that is off of what was predicted of them to do. Last week, the Jaguars only scored a sad 9 points but Westbrook was able to find the end-zone off of 7 receptions for 88 yards. Now Dede Westbrook isn’t some super-star that we can solely depend, reason for his low salary, but he has the potential. Another upside is that since there is a deep and talented pool for Wide Receivers on this slate, Westbrook shouldn’t be chalk and it’ll make for an easier roster build with our lock plays.

While the Washington Redskins are facing multiple injuries on the offensive side of the football, their defense just can’t get it together. With their offense getting stopped so quickly and so often, the defense is on the field longer, making it hard to defend any offense that they face.

The Redskins rank 22nd against the pass and allow 257 yards per. While facing the number one receiver, the Redskins allow them to average 8 receptions and 82 yards per game. This is basically double of what Westbrook is averaging per game and is most likely what he’ll be capable of doing against the Redskins this weekend. Westbrook easily gets the “Lock Play” tag with his salary, value and match-up.

JuJu Smith-Schuster vs. New England Patriots

Salary: $8,000

The Pittsburgh Steelers are coming off another horrible loss in Oakland where Big Ben and the Steelers can’t figure out the formula of winning there. Well maybe their kicker should have planted his foot corrected to take the game into overtime. But the young receiver, JuJu Smith-Schuster, has been on a dominant roll to help the Steelers keep their playoff hopes alive. JuJu is averaging 95 receiving yards per game this season but has only been able to find the end-zone 6 times. Even though he hasn’t found the end-zone that often, he has put up amazing fantasy points that would make you think otherwise.

In his previous five games, Smith-Schuster has scored 19.3, 21.4, 40.9, 10.9, and 36 fantasy points. He also has put up over a hundred yards seven times already. Smith-Schuster has been able to have this type of season due to the fact that his teammate is Antonio Brown who gains all the attention when on the field. Plus the absence of Le’Veon Bell who forfeit his entire season to become a free agent this upcoming off-season has actually helped Smith-Schuster usage and stellar Sophomore season.

While the Pittsburgh Steelers aren’t doing what some expected them to do, their opponents, the New England Patriots, haven’t been doing to well either. The Patriots are ranked 23rd against the pass, allowing 260 yards per game. It also doesn’t help that Tom Brady and the offense can’t stay on the field which would help their defense out. New England is allowing the number two receiver to average 7 receptions and 51 yards per game which isn’t the prettiest for Juju Smith-Schuster. But like I previously stated, his teammate is Antonio Brown who will gain all the attention from the New England Patriots which will once gain give Juju the prime match-up this Sunday, giving him the “Lock Play” tag.

George Kittle vs. Seattle Seahawks

Salary: $6,300

This is now the second week straight where I’m avoiding playing a tight end versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last week it was because the New Orleans Saints don’t have a true tight end every week and now we get the Baltimore Ravens facing the Buccaneers. We played Mark Andrews of the Baltimore Ravens last week and he gave us a nice, shiny goose egg. But how can we pass up George Kittle once again?

More from FanSided

He may be chalk after his amazing game against the Denver Broncos where he posted 210 receiving yards off 7 receptions in just the first half! his longest reception was for 85 yards where he found the end-zone for just the fourth time this season. He finished with 37 fantasy points. Kittle is averaging 85 yards per game, averaging 16 yards per reception.

The amazing thing about Kittle’s historic season as a San Francisco 49ers and as a tight end, he has had to adjust to three different quarterbacks. First was Jimmy G’s and his horrendous injury and then C.J. Beathard who was benched after an injury for the rookie Nick Mullens. It seems that no matter who is throwing towards him, Kittle will catch it and most likely make your defense look foolish.

Now George Kittle just faced the Seattle Seahawks who rank 17th in pass defense and only allow 246 passing yards per game for any offense. In their last meeting, Kittle had 6 receptions off of 9 targets and went for 70 yards but he couldn’t find the end-zone. He finished with 13 fantasy points though. Seattle only allows tight ends to average 6 receptions per game but for only 40 yards. That’s just half of what George Kittle is used too. Seattle does have to travel to San Francisco for this game but don’t expect them to hold Kittle to their usual tight end stat as this man is gaining momentum and trying to make the 49ers faithful, like myself, proud. I’ll be surprised if he isn’t chalk but I do expect him to exceed value once again, giving him the “Lock Play” tag.
