Each Friday, FindBet will preview the week's DFS slate, highlighting players that are priced well on DFS sites, as well as some contrarian plays that can push your team to the top of the leader board.
Most NFL DFS games have you putting a team together with players from a certain slate of games. It could be just Sunday 1:00 PM games, or it could be every game that is slated for the week. Once the last game that has eligible players is over, the final payouts are made according to how many fantasy points each team scored. Each player is worth a certain dollar amount, and you have a cap of $60,000 to build your team with. You have to have 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (RB, WR, or TE) and 1 DEF.
The general scoring rules include (6) points for each rushing and receiving touchdown, (4) points for each passing touchdown, (0.1) points for each rushing and receiving yard gained, (0.04) points for each passing yard, and also (0.5) points for each reception. There are other scoring opportunities for defenses. Let's take a look at players we like in the first round of the NFL playoffs this weekend.
<p><span></span>Players to Target:</p><h2></h2><p><strong>Baker Mayfield (QB) - $7400</strong><br/></p><p>The Browns are going to need to have their best offensive game to date. The Chiefs are going to make it a priority to stop Cleveland's run game, which means more opportunities for Baker and the Browns' WRs.</p><p><strong>Clyde Edwards-Helaire (RB) - $6100</strong><br/></p><p>We've got a lot of investment this week in the Browns-Chiefs game. Edwards-Helaire is at a solid price this week for his projected workload. Even with Le'Veon Bell cutting into his work, he is a good play at this price.</p><p><!-- Ezoic - under_second_paragraph - under_second_paragraph -->

USA Today, 20th Century Studios, Sports Illustrated
After a year of positive COVID tests, empty stadiums and some of the wildest finishes the NFL has ever seen, the regular season is over.
For those of you with heartless (Hans Gruber-level evil, to be honest) commissioners making Week 17 consequential to your fantasy season or making a last-ditch effort to cash in on daily fantasy competitions, picking your line up was about embracing chaos and letting Jesus take the wheel of your respective lineups.
Some of your gambles paid off. Others, not so much.
Here is your final booms and busts column of the NFL season.

Six players had at least four targets with four receptions being the highest achieved on the team, which means there wasn't a whole lot of opportunity to shine with the backup quarterback behind center.</p><!-- Ezoic - In-Content 5 -->

In Week 17, Green Bay made sure to play him the whole 60 minutes, only allowing Robinson to catch two balls for 37 yards.</p><p>Despite having bad to mediocre quarterbacks his entire career, the Penn State product has proved he can produce with anyone throwing him the ball.

Each Friday, FindBet will preview the week's DFS slate, highlighting players that are priced well on DFS sites, as well as some contrarian plays that can push your team to the top of the leader board.
Most NFL DFS games have you putting a team together with players from a certain slate of games. It could be just Sunday 1:00 PM games or it could be every game that is slated for the week. Once the last game that has eligible players is over, the final payouts are made according to how many fantasy points each team scored. Each player is worth a certain dollar amount, and you have a cap of $60,000 to build your team with. You have to have 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX (RB, WR, or TE) and 1 DEF.
The general scoring rules include (6) points for each rushing and receiving touchdown, (4) points for each passing touchdown, (0.1) points for each rushing and receiving yard gained, (0.04) points for each passing yard, and also (0.5) points for each reception. There are other scoring opportunities for defenses. Let's take a look at players we like this week.

This gives Herbert a chance to shine one last time before going into the 2021 offseason.</p><p><strong>Jonathan Taylor (RB) - $</strong><strong>8400</strong><br/></p><p>Taylor has been electric the last month, and with a a great matchup to end the year against the Jaguars on the schedule, he should finish the 2020 season on a high note.</p><div class="rm-shortcode" data-rm-shortcode-id="38b26765f776118f9917783441bfa464" id="d97af"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet twitter-custom-tweet" data-partner="rebelmouse" data-twitter-tweet-id="1342538122912034822"><div style="margin:1em 0">Jonathan Taylor has a 37% forced missed tackle rate over the last 4 weeks

With Buffalo rumored to be resting key starters and the Dolphins in a must win scenario, Gaskin has another chance at a great week.</p><!-- Ezoic - In-Content 3 -->

</div><p><strong>CeeDee Lamb (WR) - $6100</strong><br/></p><p>Lamb has really turned it on the last couple of weeks as Dallas' offense has snapped out of it's mid season slump. He also gets yards for punt returns which is a bonus in DFS.</p><p><strong>Justin Jefferson (WR) - $8000</strong><br/></p><p>The lineup this week is seemingly loaded with impact rookies from the 2020 season. Jefferson's matchup with a completely dis-interested Lions team is a match made in heaven.</p><p><strong>Curtis Samuel (WR) - $6100</strong><br/></p><p><strong></strong>With CMC ruled out for the last game of the year, Samuel will again get 3-5 rushing attempts in their game against New Orleans. The Panthers have a chance to spoil NO's chance at the top seed, which gives them plenty of reason to play their starters.</p><!-- Ezoic - In-Content 4 -->
