Detroit Lions DFS Spin
Jared Goff completed 30-of-40 passes for 257 yards and a touchdown in the Lions’ 30-24, Week 16 win over the Vikings.
The Lions also punched in three touchdowns on the ground, so Goff’s modest fantasy outing was not emblematic of his real-life performance. He completed 75 percent of his passes without throwing an interception. Goff also took just one sack. The win clinched the NFC North title for Detroit. It was the team’s first division title since the conferences were re-aligned. Goff gets a potential shootout with the Cowboys to close out the fantasy season, putting him on the QB1 radar for Week 17.
Dallas Cowboys DFS Spin
Dak Prescott completed 20-of-32 attempts for 253 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys’ 22-20 Week 16 loss to the Dolphins, adding five rushes for 25 yards.
The highlight of Dak’s day came on a well-thrown catch and run touchdown to CeeDee Lamb in the first half. He also connected with Brandin Cooks for a short score in the fourth quarter to take the lead. Dak now has multiple touchdown passes in seven of his past eight games, and should be locked into lineups next week against the Lions.
