I want to start off this article by saying you must have the absolute nuts to win the top prize up top on large field GPPs. There is no room for mistakes with so many entries in these contests. If you think you are going to win it all by playing a combo of the top seven guys in the player pool, you are not. If a combo of a bunch of guys you have heard of before is indeed the best scoring lineup, you will most likely tie for first. If that sounds good to you, then go for it. It will be profitable if you nail it, but for me, I like to be a little different on these slates. I will be making multiple teams and taking long shots on a few cheap guys. 

Leaving cash on the table in these NFL DFS contests is fine too. This makes your lineup even more unique and lower owned because a lot of amateurs will be pulling their hair out to use their entire salary. 

That all being said, I have looked at every possible player that can get on the field and listed my picks below.

The NFL DFS Week 17 Sunday Night Showdown Picks

It may seem obvious but on FanDuel you want the highest scoring player in the MVP slot. On Draftkings it is different, you want the best value. These picks were made with Fanduel pricing.

MVP: Jimmy Garoppolo ($15,000 FD) I think the 49ers win and Jimmy G spreads it around like normal to his receiving core, meaning it’s unlikely that one receiver gets targeted in the redone more than another (which means the receivers are less likely to put up enough point to be an MVP on FanDuel.

MVP 2: Raheem Mostert ($13,000 FD) You can run on the Seahawks and Mostert is the lead back and has looked fantastic the past month.

MVP3: George Kittle ($14,500 FD)

Flex Options:

1. Rusell Wilson ($14,500 FD) He just has looked off lately. I don’t want him at MVP against the San Fran D. But he is the quarterback and most likely to lead the Seahawks in offensive fantasy points.
2. Emmanuel Sanders ($10,000 FD) Big game playmaker.
3. Deebo Samuel ($10,500 FD) Steady for the 49ers, shouldn’t kill you.
4. DK Metcalf ($9,500 FD Bounce back spot from last weeks disaster, I like him better than Lockett because of the price
5. Tyler Lockett ($12,500 FD) Boom or Bust territory these days, but a talented receiver non the less.
6. Robbie Gould ($9,500 FD) I can see Gould connecting on a few attempts here if the offense stalls in the red zone and/or it’s a low scoring game.
7. Jacob Hollister ($8,000 FD) Too cheap for his role in offense. Like.
8. Kendrick Bourne ($7,000 FD)
9. Jason Myers ($9,000 FD) Seattle kicker, I think the Seahawks struggle today and won’t need him much towards the end of the game.
10. Ross Dwelley ($6,000 FD) Too cheap
11. Marshawn Lynch ($9,500 FD) I would be shocked if they didnt use him in the redzone. We have not seen him play for a year. Not sure what to expect, but the opportunity will probably be there for a TD.
12. Travis Homer ($11,500 FD) Seahawks starting RB. Will be involved in the pass game. A little pricey though and Lynch and Turbin will be worked in.
13. Tevin Coleman ($6,500 FD) Cheap with upside if he gets involved in pass game like we are accustomed to seeing with Coleman.
14. Matt Breida ($7,000 FD) The volume is not there for him, but if he gets in the end zone once he pays off (wishful thinking). Still, not high on him.

Punts:

1. Robert Turbin ($7,500 FD) He is going to get on the field, but I doubt he gets more than four or five attempts unless he gets some chunk yardage.
2. David Moore ($5,500 FD) Boom or bust. Wilson gives him a couple shots each week for a big play. At 5K it think him or Jaron Brown is worth a shot.
3. Jaron Brown ($5,500 FD)
4. Nick Bellmore ($8,500 FD) His price is ridiculous for his role in the offense. Punt or no play.
5. Dante Pettis ($5,000 FD) If I make 150 lineups, he might be on three
