Justin Herrera uses the RotoViz tools to bring you the top plays and some under-the-radar options for the FanDuel main slate.
This weekly article is a deep dive into some guys with exploitable matchups, something to prove, or who are just great deals on FanDuel. The goal is always to help you win money on a week-to-week basis. Barring that, at least you can have some fun playing DFS, in which case this article can help you get started on the road to profitability.

MUST-HAVE: JUSTIN FIELDS – $8,300
Justin Fields seems to turn his game on and off as he’s alternated between good and bad for the last six weeks. According to Fields’ current pattern, he should be in for a big game this week against the Cardinals. Last week the Cardinals let Brock Purdy come into their house, and throw for four TDs. Fields could have a huge week as a runner and passer in Week 16, which means you want him in your lineups.

SLEEPER: JOE FLACCO – $7,100
Joe Flacco has continued to show us he’s still able to be a relevant fantasy QB. Since coming back into the fold he’s had two top-12 performances and hasn’t been lower than QB13. This week the Browns play the C.J. Stroud less Houston Texans. The game should be a rough one for the Texans on both sides of the field with Flacco leading that offense downfield and the defense stopping the Texans’ offense.
