Philadelphia: The NFL playoffs are heating up this Sunday with two exciting games. The Rams are taking on the Eagles at 3:00 p.m. EST, followed by the Ravens facing the Bills at 6:30 p.m. EST. Yahoo is running its NFL DFS contests, and the big one today is the $75K Baller, which has a prize pool of $75,000 for the top 1,175 finishers. The winner will snag $15,000, and you can enter up to 133 times. Even if the contest doesn’t fill up, it’ll still run, giving you better odds to win.
When it comes to GPP contests, you want to aim for high upside. If you’re playing head-to-head or 50/50 formats, focus on players with a solid floor. The key is to mix in some hidden gems while also sticking with popular picks. Sometimes, going against the grain with a big-name player in a tough matchup can pay off, especially if they have a boom-or-bust potential.
Don’t forget, Yahoo uses 0.5 PPR scoring, which changes the value of certain players. Your lineup for the $75K Baller will need one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one FLEX, and one D/ST. This Sunday, consider investing in some high-priced RBs who are likely to deliver, along with a solid passing game stack.
For quarterbacks, Jalen Hurts is a solid pick against the Rams. He had a decent return from injury last week and has a great chance to score with his legs. He’s the most affordable dual-threat QB today and faces a Rams defense that struggled this season.
As for running backs, Derrick Henry is a must-have. He’s a beast in the playoffs and had a fantastic game last week. The Bills have a weak spot against RBs, making him a great choice. Kyren Williams is also a touchdown machine and should be involved in the game plan against the Eagles.
When it comes to wide receivers, DeVonta Smith is a top target, especially with A.J. Brown dealing with an injury. Khalil Shakir has been a favorite for Josh Allen, and he’s likely to shine against the Ravens. Rashod Bateman is also a strong option, especially if Zay Flowers is out.
For tight ends, Dallas Goedert is a solid pick. He’s been consistent and should have a good game against the Rams. Lastly, the Eagles’ defense is worth considering, as they’ve been strong all season and are facing a Rams offense that has struggled.
