NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Saturday Night Football (Packers vs. 49ers)
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?
squirrelpatrol: I’ll play the largest-field contests and try to take advantage of the relatively soft pricing to get overweight on Christian McCaffrey. The 49ers star back is cheaper in both single-game formats and on the classic slate than he was for most of the season, and I’ll gladly take the discount.
headChopper: I am going to play 20 lineups in various contests, mostly large-field GPPs with big 1st place prizes. In these contests, I’ll get different by not having recency bias and forgetting about what the Packers did last week to Dallas. Plenty will chase some of those big games, but I’ll go underweight on Aaron Jones, Romeo Doubs, and even Jordan Love. I’ll go overweight on the Niners skill players, and I’ll have a lot of 5-1 (DK) / 4-1 (FD) Niners-heavy builds.
kmurray03: Large Field – I will be using SimLabs to beat the field in large-field contests and plan to be overweight on guys like Aaron Jones and Christian Watson.
TJ Zwarych: 3-Entry Max – I’ll play combinations of 49ers onslaughts most likely with Brock Purdy or Christian McCaffrey at CPT/MVP, while mixing in Bo Melton, Christian Watson, and Aaron Jones as my sole Packers.
What is an example of one rule you can program into SimLabs or LineupHQ to capitalize on the above strategies?
