Welcome to the Saturday slate snapshot for Week 16. As the season winds down, the DFS slates start to alter drastically, with multiple two-game slates on the docket between now and Super Bowl 59. To help DFS players who are tackling both the two-game slate and playing single-game DFS, we’ve combined the analyses into one, so you can look at the slate as a whole and make the best decisions for whatever contest you’re playing. We’ll include the same metrics we typically examine in single-game slate analysis, discuss team pace and passing, and separate top plays from the auxiliary options.

At the bottom, you’ll find projected ownership for the two-game slates, as well as projected ownership for each of the game’s single-game DFS contests.

This Saturday, we have a great two game afternoon thriller, with four AFC playoff teams slated to do battle. The early game features two teams who are cruising to the playoffs, but only in terms of record. On the field both the Texans and Chiefs have struggled to generate consistent offense, despite sporting premier quarterbacks skill position players. Then, we’ve got a fantastic divisional matchup between the Steelers and Ravens, who could end up meeting again in the first round of the playoffs, but still have a ton to play for in the regular season. Let’s break this down from both a multi-game and single-game DFS perspective.
