NFL DFS Showdown Picks: DraftKings & FanDuel Expert Survey for Sunday Night Football

What is your favorite game-script build and why?

squirrelpatrol: I see the Chiefs controlling this game and Isiah Pacheco getting plenty of work with Jerick McKinnon out. Green Bay will score here, but I see Patrick Taylor getting more work than last week over the usually-ineffective AJ Dillon.

Notorious: I’m not as interested in the full onslaught here, as the Chiefs are extremely tough to predict outside of Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Isiah Pacheco. For that reason, my favorite game script build is hoping for a close game and having fairly equal exposure to both teams.

TastefulTides: I think the Packers keep this game inside the spread, so my lean is to focus on 3-3 builds. I really like the idea of being overweight on the Packers WR corps.

TJ Zwarych: I don’t trust the Packers to play as well as they did last week. I think the Chiefs come out to an early lead, and that leads to limited work from AJ Dillon. The Packers get some garbage time fantasy points throwing the ball a lot in the 2nd half, but the Chiefs hold on.

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?

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.
