The Week 15 NFL main slate begins Sunday at 1 p.m. EST and features 10 games. There will be no more teams on bye from this point forward, but the Thursday Night Football (Chargers-Raiders), Saturday game (Vikings-Bengals, Steelers-Colts and Broncos-Lions), Sunday Night Football (Ravens-Jaguars) and Monday Night Football (Eagles-Seahawks) participants play outside the Week 15 main slate. Yahoo will run plenty of NFL DFS contests for Week 15, but the biggest is the Sunday Baller, which pays out a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 to the top 1,144 finishers, including $20,000 to the winner. You can submit up to 150 entries into this contest, which has a maximum total capacity of 5,850 entries but will still run if it doesn’t fill, potentially providing you with enhanced odds of winning, also known as overlay.
Playing in guaranteed prize pool (GPP) contests is about chasing upside, while lineups geared toward head-to-head, 50/50 or double-up formats should prioritize high floors. The players you want to target for these different contest types aren’t mutually exclusive, but winning a GPP tournament usually requires finding a hidden gem or going against the grain in a spot or two, while building a solid base of the same chalk plays you would use anywhere. Against-the-grain plays typically consist of big-name players in tough matchups or boom-or-bust types with uncertain roles.
Keep in mind that Yahoo DFS contests use 0.5 PPR scoring rather than full PPR, which lowers the comparative value of wide receivers and running backs (in that order) while especially affecting high-volume pass-catchers. Your NFL $100k Sunday Baller lineup will consist of one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one FLEX (RB/WR/TE) and one D/ST unit. Suggested Week 15 options include a QB-WR stack that has thrived throughout the season, two big-name RBs, and bargain options at TE and D/ST.
