Both the Cardinals and Colts have their eyes set on postseas

Both the Cardinals and Colts have their eyes set on postseason ball, but only one has the look of a playoff-caliber squad at the moment. The Cardinals have dropped two straight, including a 30-12 drubbing at the hands of the Lions last week. The Colts, on the other hand, have been relatively dominant, winning two on the spin and five of their past six. DraftKings Sportsbook is listing the Cardinals as one-point favorites with a total of 48.5 -- numbers that don't exactly cause us to lean one way or another with our DraftKings Showdown lineup picks, but there is still an obvious "Captain" who is as chalk as any of Steven Matz Jersey our DFS selections all season.Here are the important settings for DraftKings single-game contests: It'sfull-point PPR, and there are three-point bonuses for 300 pa sing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player's original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied by 1.5.MORE DK SHOWDOWN: DraftKings Showdown Picks: Colts vs. Cardinals$50,000 budget, need at least one player from each team. Captain (1.5x salary, 1.5x points): RB Jonathan Taylor, Colts ($18,000) Theres really nothing that needs to be said here. Taylor has as many 30-plus-pointDraftKing efforts (four) as finishes below 20 points. He will be an obvious choice for "Captain" on this Travis D'Arnaud Jersey slate. The only thing a froggy DFS player might want to consider is going contrarian with Kyler Murray in this spot, but thats only for those who want to get cute.MORE SATURDAY NIGHT DFS: FLEX: QB Kyler Murray, Cardinals ($11,400) Murray remains an attractive DFS play in spite of the Cardinals recent struggles. He has three games with 30-plus DK points and is a viable option for ones captaincy as a contrarian play. Hell need to do a better job of handling life post-DeAndre Hopkins, but that should look better this week than it did last Sunday.WEEK 16 DFS LINEUPS: | | FLEX: WR Christian Kirk, Cardinals ($9,000) Kirk is the proverbial "next man up" in the wake of Hopkins (regular) season-ending knee injury. He turned 12 targets into a 9-94-1 line and 24.4 DK points. Kirk has demonstrated Wilmer Flores Jersey an ability to make big plays and turn in solid performances, and hell continue to see a larger share of the pa sing game pie.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX: WR Michael Pittman Jr., Colts ($7,200) Sometimes we like to dip into qualitative analysis and lean into some a sumptions. In this case, were going to a sume Pittman was all busine s Michael Conforto Jersey in practice and in the building this week. After all, getting ejected in a big game, as Pittman did last Saturday,is the type of "disappointing" mistake that will give a player a kick in the keister. He should be able to do a helluva lot better than the 1.7 DK points he managed prior to his early exit.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX: RB Chaes Edmonds, Cardinals ($3,000) Edmonds returned to action last Sunday to play 29 snaps. The Cardinals are easing him Todd Frazier Jersey in after he mi sed so much time with an ankle sprain, but he should see his workload ramp up in ensuing weeks. With Hopkins out of the picture, theres an opportunity for Edmonds production to pick up in short order.MORE WEEK 16 DFS: | FLEX: WR Antoine Wesley, Cardinals ($1,000) Wesley logged season highs in snaps (64) and targets (eight) last weekand is just another Cardinal who is going to be expected to pick up his game with increased opportunity. What we really like in this spot is Wesleys price, which allows us to include a few high-priced options in our lineup.
