What is your preferred tournament format (e.g. large-field, single-entry) to play on this slate? How do you plan to beat that field of opponents? What tactic or strategy will set you apart?

Notorious: I prefer small-field tournaments. I’m not getting super unique with my builds, but I certainly have a strategy for the slate. I’m going to build my lineups based on the Seahawks playing with a lead. I love Jaxon Smith-Njigba as much as everyone else, but I really want to be overweight on Kenneth Walker III and Jason Myers. For New England, I want to be overweight on Rhamondre Stevenson (I think he’ll get several receptions) and Mack Hollins (cheap and potential for 5+ targets). I know it’s not a fun move, but I could see Myers at MVP/CPT paying off in a big way. Seattle should be able to move the ball easily, but they might struggle to score in the red zone. I wouldn’t be surprised if Myers has 3 or 4 field goal attempts.

headChopper: I will be playing a mix of smaller-field tournaments that have multiple entries and avoiding the pure lottery-style, large-field contests that have 100,000+ entrants. With my multiple entries, I’ll be building around several different game scripts. My favorite – and the way I most see this game playing out – is a Seattle win by a comfortable margin. Because of that, most of my builds will be Seattle 5–1 constructions (with the defense included) or Seattle 4–2 constructions paired with two pieces from the New England passing game. The key in those lineups is identifying the New England wide receiver who benefits from garbage time and can rack up production or find the end zone in comeback mode.

MrTuttle05: Large-field tournaments – This is more DK-specific, but due to the pricing there, it looks like Mack Hollins is going to be one of the higher-owned FLEX options. Hollins is a fine FLEX play, but if he’s really going to come in at ~40%, he’s someone I definitely want to be underweight on. I’ll likely try to avoid that $3,000 price range altogether and either find builds that drop down to George Holani as a value option or use a cheaper CPT option, which will allow me to not drop down below the $4,000 range at FLEX.

ebeimfohr: I am much more of a smaller-field player on just about every slate, and it is my preferred format for this Super Bowl as well. With such a concentrated offense (between Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Kenneth Walker III) and projections that are way higher than other skill players on Seattle, I will be keeping it simple with them in my lineup. DFS players in the smaller fields will likely either gravitate to the D/STs or a particular Patriots skill player (given their more spread out pOWN%). I intend to lock in those two Seattle guys and then utilize our NFL DFS sims tool (SimLabs) to find the pieces in that Patriots skill player and/or D/ST part of the equation who are coming in under-owned.

ncorfield8k: Large-field tournaments – With both defenses playing extremely well, this could be a low-scoring game. With that in mind, I’m trying to play for outcomes that don’t involve a lot of touchdowns. Generally, this means I’ll be lower on quarterbacks, since quarterback scoring is more reliant on consistently good offense, whereas position players can score points in a hurry due to scoring more fantasy points per yard and per touchdown and scoring with every reception. I’ll also be overweight on both defenses.

Davis Mattek: I will be in almost all of the contests, but I do think the challenge of trying to build unique lineups in the mega-lottery tournaments for the Super Bowl is quite fun. I’ll be trying to get way overweight on guys like TreVeyon Henderson, Elijah Arroyo (if active), Jake Bobo, and all of the players who project for 2 fantasy points or below.

Jordan Vanek: For Showdown contests, I prefer large-field tournaments because I’m always chasing perfection with these builds. The way I plan to separate from the field is by leaning into 5–1 and 4–2 constructions that favor Seattle, while sprinkling in one or two pass-catchers from New England. I don’t think New England has much of a chance in this game given how their offensive line has looked in the playoffs, and I expect this matchup to play out similarly to last year’s Super Bowl. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Seattle defense ends up scoring more points than the New England offense.

Bobby Gomes: Large-field tournaments – My approach will be to play between 2-3 different lineups on both sites for a game that I think will be a close, tight one. The Seahawks have allowed 111 yards per game on the ground in the playoffs. I’ll be 2x the field on Rhamondre Stevenson and Drake Maye (against a Seahawks secondary that just allowed Matthew Stafford to throw for 374 yards). I’ll always sprinkle in kickers and D/STs, as they often come in with the lowest ownership and can carry differentiating upside.

What is the most pivotal correlation (or individual player) when it comes to your portfolio of lineups?
