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.

I’d love to use Lamar Jackson, but his price is too high, and Baker Mayfield‘s matchup is just as juicy. Justin Herbert is the only other QB I would consider. If you use Jackson, look to stack with Zay Flowers, and Isaiah Likely, and run it back with Chris Godwin or Mike Evans. Just know that it is nearly impossible to afford Jackson and Derrick Henry together.
Speaking of Henry, I do not see a legit pivot from him, unless you go dirt cheap here and load up at WR. James Conner is the closest to a pivot, but I don’t love it. At RB2, consider one of the Buccaneers’ trio as a pivot from J.K. Dobbins. You can also consider one of the Steelers. If you don’t go double-TE, you must use Sean Tucker at FLEX.
Take your pick between Mike Evans (hamstring, questionable) and Chris Godwin at WR1. Zay Flowers and Davante Adams can sub in at WR1. That said, I love Flowers at WR2. Michael Wilson (ankle), Quentin Johnston (ankle), and Ladd McConkey (hip) are all fighting maladies, but each is in play as a pivot at WR2 or as a starter at WR3. If you don’t play Flowers, Rashod Bateman should be your WR3. Joshua Palmer or Greg Dortch could have value if the injured WRs in front of them end up out. Zay Jones, Nelson Agholor, and Sterling Shepard are potential punts.
The preference is to fit both Trey McBride and Cade Otton into the same lineup. Isaiah Likely is a semi-safe pivot from McBride. Instead of Otton, Tyler Conklin (hip) and Will Dissly (shoulder) could have value, assuming they play.
