The Titans host the49ers in the seasons final installment of Thursday Night Football. Both teams are squarely in the playoff mix, so were likely in store for a competitive and entertaining affair that features plenty of viable DFS options. We're paying up for a high-priced captain in our Week 16 DraftKings showdown lineup, and we picked up just enough sneaky value in our flex spots to make Corey Flagg Jr. Jersey some noise. Implementing the zero-QB strategy isn't always a great option, but this feels like the time and place to do it.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: Captain (1.5x salary, 1.5x points): TE George Kittle, 49ers($16,800)Kittle was held a bit more under control against the Falcons last week following a pair of dominant performances. Still, hes averaged 11 targets per game over his past three and exploded for 95DraftKings points over that span.MORE TNF: | | FLEX: WR Deebo Samuel, 49ers ($11,600)The 49ers have treated Samuel a bit like Cordarrelle Patterson in recent weeks. Hes only Barney Amor Jersey seen 12 targets in his last four games but has 28 carries over that span. Hes been scoring touchdowns on the ground too, so hes still making the most of his opportunities.WEEK 16 DFS LINEUPS: | | FLEX: RB DOnta Foreman, Titans ($7,600)Foreman has been a solid producer Tristen D'Angelo Jersey since emerging as the lead back in Tenne see. Hes scored at least 14.2 DK points in three straight games, including a season-high 18.5 points last week. Hes not a major factor in the pa sing game, but hes had a pair of receptions in each of the past two games. Hes also earned the three-point bonus for eclipsing 100 yards in two of the past three, so there are a few different avenues through which Foreman can rack up points.WEEK 16 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX: WR Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Titans ($5,400)The Titans may be able to welcome Akolda Manyang Jersey wide receiver A.J. Brown (chest) back into the fold this week, but hes unlikely to be up to full speed. Westbrook-Ikhine hasnt been spectacular, but hes seen 24 targets over his past four games, a span in which hes also scored a touchdown and eclipsed 100 yards on separate occasions. He's still a big-play, boom-or-bust DFS dart throw with Julio Jones and potentially Brown in Tenne see's lineup.WEEK 16 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX: RB Jeff Wilson Jr., 49ers($5,200)Wilson scored 22.9 DK points last Sunday in place of Elijah Mitchell (knee), who has remained sidelined in practice this week. Wayne Simien Jersey If Wilson lands another start, hell be in position to produce another decent DK performance.MORE WEEK 16 DFS: | FLEX: RB Dontrell Hilliard, Titans ($2,800)Hilliard has been a solid complement to Foreman out of the Titans backfield. Hes found succe s on the ground (12-131-1 in Week 12) and through the air (10 targets in Week 11). There should be enough touches to go around for Hilliard to produce another solid effort.
