It’s Super Bowl week! That means countless bets and wagers, player props and of course, DFS lineups, will be submitted for the biggest game on the planet. To give you some help in setting those DFS lineups, here’s a look at a lineup I’ve built for this super clash between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
The majority of Showdown lineups will feature Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes or Travis Kelce in the captain’s seat, so there is some value in a contrarian play like Miles Sanders, Isiah Pacheco or DeVonta Smith. However, I’m going chalk here. Also keep in mind that recent Super Bowl winning lineups have included “lesser” fantasy options the likes of Brycen Hopkins, Kendrick Bourne and Kyle Juszczyk.
Captain: Jalen Hurts, QB, Eagles ($16,800): Hurts has averaged nearly 26 DFS points per game this season, and you have to love the matchup against the Chiefs. Their defense has allowed 33 touchdown passes in the regular and postseason, which is tied with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the most in the league. K.C. has also surrendered the seventh-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.
