NFL DFS Divisional Round Weekend Example Lineups: Top Picks for DraftKings & FanDuel Contests

Published: Jan 18, 2025
Welcome to the NFL DFS Example Lineups for the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs! By now you should have gone through this week's NFL DFS Playbook, you've caught up on all the news and you've built some lineups as well. Now it's time for comparisons and to see if there's something you haven't considered. If you're playing the full four-game slate, this is where you want to be. We will also have Example Lineups for both the two-game Saturday-Only slate and the two-game Sunday-only slate, so be on the lookout for those as well.
Please keep in mind, the NFL DFS Example Lineups below are for GPP tournaments only. I do not like or recommend playing a lot of cash games due to the amount of player overlap, especially on just a four-game slate. There will be so much chalk that it makes it very difficult to build a zero-fat, high-floor lineup without following the same path as so many others. It's not a bad thing. It's just the way things run in the DFS world. The smaller the slates, the heavier the chalk.
**Be sure to check the Playbook for late changes
Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!
