OwnersBox NFL DFS Format

What is up, Grinders! We are here to talk about OwnersBox! This site is very creative for the NFL, as it has given us what we’ve been craving for what feels like an eternity. Straightforward football builds. No kickers, no defenses, just the position players that get it done for us week in and week out. Did I mention there was a Superflex?! Yes, we have the ability to play two quarterbacks in the format over at OwnersBox. It consists of the following positions: QB, RB x2, WR x2, TE, Flex x2, and the Superflex, which could be a QB/RB/WR/TE. This is revolutionary for the DFS enthusiast, and I am here to talk through a handful of plays each week that I hope carry us to the finish line.

Top NFL DFS Picks for Wild Card Weekend

The Main Slate for Ownersbox this week is happening on Sunday so this is where we will plant our flag. With one game already looking like a fade, I’m approaching this as a two-game slate. Let’s dig in.

Dak Prescott ($7,000)

Give me Dak Prescott all day in this spot. At home, he has been incredible, and this team is averaging around 37 points per game.
This gives me supreme confidence in the Cowboys to get it done here. Dak will be leading the charge and should have no problem hooking up with CeeDee Lamb all over the field. Dallas is one of the dome games also today which should support a really nice outing here.

Puka Nacua ($6,600)

One of the more interesting stories on this Wild Card weekend is Matthew Stafford going back into Detroit to compete in the playoffs. Under the surface of that story is one about Puka Nacua and one of the greatest rookie seasons at wide receiver the league has ever seen. We couldn’t anticipate the 1-2 punch of Puka and Kupp, but here we are, and that tandem has helped to carry this team into the spotlight. Nacua gets volume and has a ton of yards-after-the-catch potential. This is one of the sneaky shootouts of the weekend, and I want all parts of it.

Amon-Ra St. Brown ($7,300)

St. Brown has the most stable target share on this team. With a few key pieces missing, and a large void at tight end with La Porta sitting, I’m looking for Goff to go to him early and often. He gets looks all over the field, and in a must-win game, I love the opportunity for him. He’s on the field, he’s getting the looks, and the production should follow this weekend. Sign me up for a HUGE performance in front of his home crowd here.

Wild Card Weekend Closing Thoughts

We are settling in with the dome games. It’s been a good season for us, and I“m looking to take something down this week. Let’s win, friends!
