I’ll be focusing on my core and GPP plays for the 1/3 DFS Wild Card Weekend for NFL and take a deep dive for each position along with my favorite value plays.
My Core and Value Plays for ALL Builds :
Sexy 6 – 1/3 DFS
- Michael Thomas, WR, NO – 1/3 DFS
- Michael Thomas is my first player for all my tournaments as I start to build out my lineups. He faces a Minnesota pass defense that is highly overrated and defends the tight end pretty well, but struggle in defending the WR. Lock in MT as he’s in line for a huge game this weekend.
- Alvin Kamara, RB, NO – 1/3 DFS
- All this workload management for Kamara has led up to these next few weeks. He has been on fire the past few weeks and I think he continues this week against a suspect Minnesota defense.
- Devin Singletary, RB, BUF – 1/3 DFS
- Load up my alma mater RB this weekend! Devin Singletary hailing from Boca Raton, FL and the greatest college in the world, FAU Owls. On a serious note, I feel like Houston is falling apart offensively and defensively and have limped into the playoffs. I think the Bills win this one outright even while on the road. Go Owls Go!
- Julian Edelman, WR, NE – 1/3 DFS
- It’s the playoffs so this means the Patriots are back. Even though they look horrendous right now, you can’t deny that it’s Tom Brady SZN. I really hope the Titans win outright, but I think the Pats go to work and Edelman is the main reason for it. Titans secondary has been better, but Edelman is feeling better than he has the past few weeks and should smash this Titans secondary.
- Buffalo Bills DST – 1/3 DFS
- Not ideal to run a Defense as a Sexy Six pick, but I think the Texans O Line is one of the worst and the Bills should get to Watson quite a few times.
- John Brown, WR, BUF – 1/3 DFS
- I’m having a tough time whether to choose John Brown or Josh Allen. Given your build, I want to leave QB off the Sexy Six list. As you construct your lineup, make sure to stack QB and WR so if you can use Drew Brees with MT or Josh Allen with John Brown, I’d say go for it. John Brown is in a great spot against a bottom tier defense in the Texans. Lock him in!
Sexy 6 is the basis for all my builds in both cash and GPP builds. I will most likely lock in a minimum of FOUR for every contest. Due to salary constraints, I doubt I can get all six, but I recommend at least four or five of the recommended players.
