Top DFS Games to Target
- The panel chooses Bears vs. Cowboys as the primary game due to the high total (50.5), defensive struggles, and obvious stacking options (Caleb Williams, Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Javonte Williams).
- Steelers vs. Patriots is targeted for its leaky defenses and underappreciated stacking possibilities, such as Drake Maye, Jaylen Warren, and Kayshon Boutte.
- Rams vs. Eagles rounds out the big three: Hosts highlight the lack of explosiveness in the Eagles’ new offense but see Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown as potential tournament leverage, while Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Davante Adams provide concentrated ceiling for Rams stacks.
DFS Strategies and Player Insights
- For QBs, the group debates Justin Herbert’s ceiling, Sam Darnold as a value pivot, and Marcus Mariota’s potential as a cheap starter.
- Running back discussion centers on high-volume options like Bijan Robinson, Alvin Kamara, Jordan Mason (injury-dependent), Tony Pollard, and sleeper Tyler Allgeier.
- WR picks include Nico Collins, Jauan Jennings, A.J. Brown, and Courtland Sutton for tournaments, plus notes on rookie usage and injuries impacting depth charts.
- Tight end selections feature Juwan Johnson, Trey McBride, and Tyler Warren, with pricing and role debates, especially on DraftKings.
- Game theory: The panel emphasizes slate construction (early punts vs. late pivots), ownership leverage, and injury monitoring to optimize DFS lineups.
