NFL DFS Picks: Plays and Strategy for Conference Championship Baller

The AFC Championship Game and NFC Championship Game will be played Sunday, with Kansas City-Baltimore kicking things off at 3 p.m. EST, followed by Detroit-San Francisco at 6:30 p.m. Super Bowl LVIII berths will be on the line, and Yahoo will be running NFL DFS contests for Sunday’s two-game slate, led by the $100K Conference Round Baller, which pays out a guaranteed prize pool of $100,000 to the top 1,144 finishers, including $20,000 to the winner. You can submit up to 150 entries into this contest, which has a maximum total capacity of 5,850 entries but will still run if it doesn’t fill, potentially providing you with enhanced odds of winning, also known as overlay.

Playing in guaranteed prize pool (GPP) contests is about chasing upside, while lineups geared toward head-to-head, 50/50 or double-up formats should prioritize high floors. The players you want to target for these different contest types aren’t mutually exclusive, but winning a GPP tournament usually requires finding a hidden gem or going against the grain in a spot or two, while building a solid base of the same chalk plays you would use anywhere. Against-the-grain plays typically consist of big-name players in tough matchups or boom-or-bust types with uncertain roles.

Keep in mind that Yahoo DFS contests use 0.5 PPR scoring rather than full PPR, which lowers the comparative value of wide receivers and running backs (in that order) while especially affecting high-volume pass-catchers. Your NFL $100K Conference Round Baller lineup will consist of one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one FLEX (RB/WR/TE) and one D/ST unit.

Sunday’s suggested plays include a budget QB-WR stack that could produce major bang for the buck, as well as the best playoff pass-catcher of this era(s tour).
