What is your favorite game-script build and why?
Notorious: The game is competitive throughout, which will keep the Commanders aggressive on offense. I’m hoping most of their production and touchdowns come through the passing game. For the Falcons, I could see Drake London and Bijan Robinson both having nice outings without bringing Michael Penix with them.
ncorfield8k: I think the Commanders will lean on Jayden Daniels for a lot of passing and some running. The Falcons will try to slow the game down by keeping the ball in Bijan Robinson’s hands instead of asking their rookie quarterback to do too much.
Davis Mattek: Both teams will err a bit more on the conservative side with the playoffs on the line. If nothing funky happens early, I expect both starting RBs to see the ball 20+ times. Michael Penix will get a chance to make a few deep throws, but the Falcons will largely protect him.
Bobby Gomes: I’ll lean on the Jayden Daniels and the Commanders passing and receiving game. I will be underweight on Brian Robinson, as the Falcons have had a top-10 run defense this season, and Daniels will compensate with his legs. On the other side, Washington has been a bottom-5 run defense this season, making Bijan Robinson an easy play for me in most builds.

About the Author
Robert Brown (aka Epignosis) was having lunch at a sports bar. A football game was on. He remarked to his wife that if he could have a second life, he’d like to be someone who enjoyed watching sports. That enjoyment began when he signed up for a fantasy football league that needed one more player. Since then, he has enjoyed playing NFL, NBA, and (especially) MLB DFS. When not teaching American literature, editing content for RotoGrinders (which he has done since 2019), or making lineups, Epignosis is rocking out or jazzing it up on one of several possible instruments.
