DraftKings is breaking up the Super Wild Card Weekend with three different slates. As they should, I guess, since the three-day event is strewn across three separate days.
My goal is to help you for all three, as well as the big three-day slate if you choose to play it. That is the one I will be playing the most, and since there is a clear difference between all of these slates, this one deserves it’s own write-up.
Want to know who to build around and which plays stand out in tournaments? I’ve got you covered with the best NFL DFS picks for Wild Card Weekend below:
Best NFL DFS Picks for 3-Day Slate
| Position | Cash/Core | GPP |
| Quarterback | Allen/Hurts | Love/Stroud |
| Running Back | McCaffrey/Jacobs | Etienne/Stevenson |
| Wide Receiver | Puka/Watson/Washington | Odunze/BTJ/Ladd |
| Tight End | Goedert/Loveland | Freiermuth/Gadsden |
| Defense | Chargers/Texans/Rams | Bears |
I don’t have as much time as I thought I would to hit every slate, but the above is where I would start with the full weekend slate.
It’s hard to give a true “core” for NFL DFS since there is so much variance and different positions to work with. If entering many lineups, I’d definitely deviate a bit from the elite trio of C-Mac, Puka, and Allen.
Hurts is my favorite immediate drop down from Allen, while I really like Love and Stroud for savings and upside in tournaments.
C-Mac feels like a must, but we can save salary by fading if we want. Josh Jacobs is someone I am playing everywhere due to price and matchup. Etienne is in a smash spot and going ignored. Stevenson is completely unowned and has had a massive role.
I don’t have time to dive in further, but I did put together a full video breakdown of this slate:
