The massive popularity of small DFS slates has propelled us to expand our DFS coverage. I will give you my favorite lineup for the Primetime Slate each week. We will release these as soon as both sites release their pricing.
Recommended Primetime DFS lineups
DK Lineup: QB Joe Burrow ($7.3k), RB Chase Brown ($6.7k), RB Rico Dowdle ($6.0k), WR Ja’Marr Chase ($8.5k), WR CeeDee Lamb ($7.3k), WR Joshua Palmer ($4.0k), TE Will Dissly ($3.8k), FLEX Noah Gray ($3.4k), DST Dallas Cowboys ($2.6k)
FD Lineup: QB Joe Burrow ($8.4k), RB Chase Brown ($7.8k), RB Rico Dowdle ($6.8k), WR Ja’Marr Chase ($9.5k), WR CeeDee Lamb ($8.1k), WR Joshua Palmer ($5.4k), TE Will Dissly ($5.1k), FLEX Noah Gray ($5.2k), DST Dallas Cowboys ($3.5k)
If I pivot from Joe Burrow, it will probably be with Cooper Rush. That said, all four QBs are in play. I prefer Patrick Mahomes to Justin Herbert, especially if Ladd McConkey (knee/shoulder) is out.
At RB1, you can swap out Chase Brown with Isiah Pacheco. This swap opens up the ability to spend more at WR3 or TE. Kareem Hunt and Gus Edwards are the replacement RB2 choices. Kimani Vidal would be the punt option, but the matchup makes him unnecessary.

I love buying both Ja’Marr Chase (ankle) and CeeDee Lamb (shoulder). You must roster at least one of the two. The pivot would be Tee Higgins (or spending up for Travis Kelce at TE). McConkey is dealing with multiple injuries, but if he suits up, he could also be your WR2. You have five options at WR3: DeAndre Hopkins, Xavier Worthy, Quentin Johnston, Brandin Cooks, and Joshua Palmer. Palmer fits the budget best, but you can use any of them if you spend less on WR2. Andrei Iosivas, Jalen Tolbert, DJ Chark Jr., Mecole Hardman (knee), and KaVontae Turpin are the punt plays.
By opting for the double-TE lineup featuring the discount players Noah Gray and Will Dissly, you still leave little room for flexibility. To upgrade to Kelce, you must find savings elsewhere. Mike Gesicki is cheaper and easier to substitute. Jake Ferguson (concussion) will return. He can be a pivot from Dissly, and Luke Schoonmaker‘s value shrinks.
