If there was ever a time and place to start playing daily fantasy football this is the time and Draft Kings is the place.We have been playing for years over at Draft Kings and let's just say that this was a very merry holiday season for the entire Fantasy Alarm crew. Whether you won your league championship this season or didn't even make the playoffs there is still plenty of time (about four more weekends to be exact) to make this the greatest fantasy football season ever!!
Well here we are folks, the final weekend of the NFL regular season. Luckily that doesn't mean the end of DFS fantasy football otherwise the tone here would be much more sad than it already is. I absolutely love week 17 in DFS. Those of us who have paid attention all seaosn long and are familiar with these teams and their backups will have a fantastic advantage over the casual NFL fan this week.
I absolutely LOVE my Draft Kings lineups this week. While nothing is ever guaranteed in football, fantasy football or DFS, I have a strong feeling that my cash game lineup cannot lose this week. Odell Beckham Jr. and Antonio Brown will put me right in contention all by themselves so all that we'll need is a little help from Mark Sanchez and crew and we are counting stacks.
Here are the DFS NFL Playbooks Optimal Lineups for Week 17:
