Based on our expected Conference Championships DFS game flow analysis published earlier, we can carry our thoughts into actual lineup positions. The long list of players that fit the requirements set forth by the projected flow of the game was cut dramatically by the requirements set forth by salaries.
Below are Sporfolio’s DFS Conference Championships Plays:
Quarterback
Patrick Mahomes – It just feels wrong to see Patrick Mahomes have the lowest salary among all starting quarterbacks this weekend. Indeed, he hasn’t shown the explosive fantasy upside of any of the other three quarterback options, but this is the same player who has made it to the AFC Championship Game in every single one of his seven seasons as a starter. That is so outstanding that we have to remember how Mahomes stacks up historically. But it’s not only the history. He’s still just 29 years old, and he is being discussed like a passenger on a Kansas City Chiefs team that is winning around him. Not by us. We’re willing to put our trust in Mahomes’ ability to deliver a solid outing on Sunday.
