Super Bowl 60 Fantasy Football: Seahawks vs. Patriots DFS Lineup Advice

DFS Lineup Strategies for Super Bowl 60

• 🎯 Adam Aizer and Jamey Eisenberg discuss their DFS strategies for Super Bowl 60 between the Seahawks and Patriots.
• 💡 Eisenberg has created 10 lineups (5 on DraftKings, 5 on FanDuel), experimenting with Seattle-slanted, New England-slanted, and mixed lineups.
• 💰 The captain/MVP spot is crucial, with options to maximize points, be contrarian (like using a kicker), or select the highest projected scorer.
• 🧩 Different strategies exist for maximizing DFS lineups, including leveraging salary cap flexibility on DraftKings.

Key Player Projections and Matchups

• 🚀 JSN (Jaxon Smith-Njigba) is highlighted as a potential high-volume receiver, averaging 25.1 PPR points in games with at least 10 targets, despite a tough matchup.
• 🛡️ The Patriots may shadow JSN with Christian Gonzalez, their top cornerback, and use safety and linebacker support.
• 🎯 Cooper Kupp has seen increased targets recently, but his overall production has been inconsistent.
• 🏃‍♂️ Ken Walker is favored over Rhamondre Stevenson due to his explosiveness and potential to take over the backfield when the primary back is out, showing strong production in past opportunities.
• 🧱 The Patriots' run defense, particularly with Milton Williams active, has been elite, allowing very few rushing touchdowns and long runs.

Bargain Plays and Sleeper Picks

• 💰 Jake Bobo is a cheap option who could provide value if he catches a pass, especially in the red zone or for a touchdown, despite limited season production.
• ⚡ Rasheed Shahed is another affordable player who could be a difference-maker with a splash play or broken tackle.
• 📈 M.J. Holland is a potential target, returning from injury with previous games showing significant target volume and PPR points.
• ❓ The depth of receiving options for both teams makes it a guessing game, with players like Austin Hooper and Deario Douglas also being potential dart throws.

Running Back Matchup Analysis

• ⚔️ Both teams face arguably the two best run defenses in the NFL, raising questions about whether the featured backs are 'traps'.
• 🏈 Rhamondre Stevenson had a high volume of carries against Denver but low yardage, and his involvement in the passing game is key.
• 🐾 Zack Charbonnet's absence or limited play has historically led to strong PPR performances for Ken Walker, including significant touchdown production.
• ⚠️ The Patriots' run defense has been particularly dominant when Milton Williams is on the field, limiting running back scoring opportunities.

Recommended Lineups and Considerations

• 🌟 FanDuel Seattle-Slanted Lineup: Sam Darnold (MVP), JSN, Cooper Kupp, Rasheed Shahed, AJ Barner, Stefon Diggs.
• 🌟 DraftKings Lineup: Hunter Henry (Captain), JSN, Drake Maye, M.J. Holland, Rhamondre Stevenson, Seahawks DST.
• 📉 A low-scoring game is anticipated, making defenses and potentially kickers valuable DFS assets.
• 🤔 The involvement of running backs in the passing game is seen as crucial for their fantasy success, given the tough matchups on the ground.
