NFL DFS Showdown Lineup Picks: Lions-Packers
All season, I've been combining our weekly projections with the DraftKings and FanDuel salaries to display top value plays for the Sunday night showdown slates on each site. But I've got good news ...
The Draft Sharks DFS Lineup Generator is now doing that for us.
Just click in there, select the DET-GB slate for either site (or Yahoo) and you'll find every projected player sorted by dollars per point.
If you've been reading this series throughout the season, then you'll recognize the columns in the screenshots below (Player-Salary-$/point). But these charts are even better, because you can also sort by ceiling and floor projections. And you can build your own lineups right there in the tool.
Let's take a look now at the top values on each site ...
DraftKings
Justin Jackson was inactive last week after a Friday hip injury, but he returned to full practices all this week. Jackson only got 1 touch his last time out but drew 8 opportunities the game before that.
You might have noticed AJ Dillon as the highest Packer in dollars per point. He's also tops among the 5-digit DK salaries. Aaron Jones had the big game last week, but Dillon has garnered 11+ touches in 5 straight games and scored at least once in all of those contests.
FanDuel
Christian Watson rises in value here compared with DraftKings, and he's a high-upside play here. He caught just 1 ball while playing through a hip injury last week, but the Packers targeted him 5 times and have targeted Watson and a high rate per route all year. He remained limited in practice this week but carries no game status on the final injury report.
