STACKING KEY IN OPTIMAL LINEUP

Devising the perfect Daily Fantasy Sports strategy for the NFL can be a challenge, which is why I’m here to assist.

On Draftkings, it’s important to remember you’re playing full-point PPR with bonuses if a player surpasses 300 passing yards, 100 rushing yards or 100 receiving yards.

Here is my optimal lineup for today’s $3.25 million Fantasy Football Millionaire contest, but can be utilized as a foundation in other games and platforms.

All prices listed are courtesy of Draftkings with a $50,000 budget.

These lineups have netted $245, so that leaves me $35 in the hole.

QB: Kyler Murray, Cardinals ($7,900)

A premium matchup against the Lions is a smash spot for Murray, coming off a difficult loss against a division rival. He’s averaging 60 yards and a score on the ground in his first two games back after missing a month.

RB: James Robinson, Jaguars ($5,400)

According to interim head coach Darrell Bevell, Robinson will be treated as the starter and Carlos Hyde remains in the NFL’S concussion protocol, so Robinson should see a significant workload against Houston (28th vs. the run).

RB: Jeff Wilson, 49ers ($5,000)

Wilson hasn’t produced eye-popping numbers in his previous two starts this season — 106 yards on 32 carries — so hopefully he won’t be chalk. Eight of Atlanta’s 13 have scored at least 25 points at running back.

WR: Diontae Johnson, Steelers ($7,500)

Johnson has received double-digit targets in 10 of the 12 games he’s played this season. He had nine receptions (15 targets) for 80 yards and two scores against Tennessee in 2020. Not much has changed for the Titans.

WR: Julio Jones, Titans ($5,400)

Jones has a very favorable matchup against CB Ahkello Witherspoon in what should be a competitive game against Pittsburgh. Witherspoon ranks fourth in receiving yards per reception given up (17.8).

WR: Christian Kirk, Cardinals ($5,300)

Detroit ranks 26th in passer rating allowed to WRS aligned in the slot (117.9) but fifth when lined up out wide (81.7), meaning

Kirk is more likely than AJ Green to take advantage of Deandre Hopkins’ absence.

TE: Mark Andrews, Ravens ($6,400)

Baltimore will heavily target Andrews — no matter who the QB is — and this provides leverage against the field, which will likely condense on the 49ers’ George Kittle.

FLEX: Devante Parker, Dolphins ($4,300)

Parker has finished as the WR17, WR18 and WR28 in his last three games and Jaylen Waddle was placed on the reserve/covid-19 list.

DST: Jacksonville Jaguars ($2,800)

Call it a hunch — a weight has been lifted off this team with Urban Meyer’s firing.
