ZT gives his Fantasy Football rankings for DraftKings main slate of contests for Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season.
In Week 16, DraftKings has a juicy 11-game main slate lined up on Sunday afternoon. Seven of the games kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET in the early wave, with two games at 4:05 p.m. ET and two more at 4:25 p.m. ET. In this cheat sheet, we’ll take a look at the fantasy football rankings for each primary position on that main DraftKings slate.
While there is only one divisional contest on the main slate, there are some fascinating potential playoff previews like the Jaguars taking on the Broncos. The one divisional matchup is important, as well, since the Panthers host the Bucs in a critical NFC South contest.
The fantasy football rankings in this post are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.
These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in assembling your final roster. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.
To catch up on the top lineup from the Week 15 contest, check out my breakdown of the winning lineup. You can also find full rankings for the week at each position on my author page. The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.
Be sure to set your lineup for all Week 11 contests, highlighted by the NFL $2.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
