Doctor DFS: NFL Conference Championship Weekend
DraftKing’s DFS is the perfect combination of Fantasy Football and sports betting. For those of you who are interested in how it works or some extremely useful strategies when generating lineups, check out my previous article. I’ll link that below:

Last week our 2 lineups generated 157.02 and 171.42, and we will look to run it back this week. This week I am going to provide 2 different lineups, 1 that I will be using for larger pools and 1 that I will be using for H2Hs and 50/50s. Ideally, when you submit a lineup in larger pools you want to be the only person who has that lineup so when you finish #1 you do not have to split that money with anyone else. Unfortunately for me, that is not an option unless I start gatekeeping. Luckily for all of you, that will never happen because I am a man of the people!!!!!
Lineup #1: Chiefs/Bills stack
This is a lineup I would recommend using for larger tournament pools. You can use it for H2H’s and 50/50 ‘s as well, but we are targeting this Chiefs/Bills game being the higher scoring and more fantasy-friendly game environment. The only players from the Eagles/Commanders game here are Saquon Barkley (highest projected RB this week) and Eagles D/ST (highest projected defense this week). And obviously if the Chiefs/Bills game becomes a shootout and we are stacking those players, we want no part of those two defenses regardless. The only issue I see with this lineup is that it does run the risk of being heavily rostered. I think the $200 remaining salary could be our saving grace. But according to my projections, we are stacking the highest projected RB, the 2 highest projected TEs, and the 3 highest projected WRs. I have Allen projected ever-so-slightly higher than Mahomes here but that doesn’t justify the $1500 salary discount that we’re getting. All of the best players in this matchup, we were able to secure in this lineup which is why I’m afraid a lot of people are going to have the same roster, so feel free to do some slight variations of this lineup.
Lineup 2: H2H and 50/50 (highest projection lineup)
I think this is a great buy low spot on the Eagles passing offense. I think there is a real chance that Jalen Hurts and AJ Brown are in for monster games. I wanted to create a lineup stacking this Eagles passing attack, but I just don’t love the price tags on Devonta Smith and Dallas Goedert. Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and Kelce were just too good of values to pass up here, and that’s why it’s so hard to feel great about stacking too many Eagles players. I also think Ekeler is a great value, I can see a world where Washington’s receivers are really struggling to get opened and Jayden Daniels is forced to dump it off to Ekeler a bunch. And then for D/ST we are going to stick with Philly here.
Thank you for all of the loyal supporters and as always, let’s get rich!!!
