With all the injuries we saw in Week 15 – along with four games being played on Saturday or Monday – Week 16 feels a little bit like a bye week in terms of DFS. It also makes stability a little bit harder to find. That's why I'm starting my cash lineups this week with Cam Newton and Keenan Allen.

Newton and the Panthers have been on fire offensively and face one of the worst defenses in the NFL. Allen had been very consistent before his Week back injury, but he's not even on the injury report for Week 16. He also gets a matchup against a poor Jets secondary.

Where do you go after those two? Check below. As always, ownership estimates come from @UFCollective. You can get all of their estimates here:
