Welcome to the NFL Week 18 DFS Example Lineups for Saturday Contests!

The two-game NFL Week 18 Saturday slate is going to be an outstanding appetizer for the Sunday main slate which, if you are playing, has its own separate DFS Playbook. What we get here are two games with strong meaning and, therefore, loaded with some outstanding plays. The Kansas City Chiefs are looking for a win over the Las Vegas Raiders in order to clinch the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye for the AFC playoffs and the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans are playing for the AFC South title and the No. 4 seed in the playoffs. But don't count out the Las Vegas Raiders either. They may not have anything but pride to play for, but they would love to play spoilers against their division rival and take another long look at how Jarrett Stidham looks in this offense.

 

 

As I've stated before, for a two-game slate, we like to stick to GPP tournaments only. The reason we don't like to play the cash games on a short slate is because there is too much player-overlap which, in turn, raises the pay-lines to a point where it becomes very difficult to cash, especially when so many people out there are using the exact same NFL DFS lineup optimizer. For us, our NFL DFS Lineup Generator is about helping you explore a variety of options with the hope of you learning to be a better DFS player and not someone who just expects to be spoon-fed lineups each week.

If you are new to DFS, it is my recommendation to have a little fun with a day like today. You don't need to bet heavy here. GPP tournaments, even the ones with single-entry or a smaller field, are, for lack of a better way to put it, like buying lottery scratchers. We build our bankrolls through cash games and then we come to the GPP tournaments with a few bucks and some wishful thinking. Everyone wants to win the Millionaire Maker, but your odds of that are so miniscule, that you shouldn't be expecting to do much more than break even or add a few bucks to your wallet. Yes, there are definitely ways for you to walk away with $10,000 today, but that usually requires a larger investment. The higher the entrance fee, the fewer players you are going up against and the pay-lines seem to all be a little bit lower. The top scores are pretty high up there, though, so don't get any crazy ideas. You have to learn to crawl before you walk and you need to walk for a while before you can really run. And once we get into the NFL playoffs and the slates are all shorter, this becomes a great place to start practicing.

But let's not dwell on the lecture here and let's have some fun today.

Again, these lineups are meant to serve as examples for you; a sounding board, as I said. They are not meant for you to plug in as your own. That's the lazy way and we don't condone it. We are trying to teach you how to be a better DFS player; we aren't lineup-sellers. You should be creating your own lineups using all the information we provide you throughout the week and then coming here to see if there is anything you may have missed or simply for an alternative perspective.

Best of luck to you this week and let's make some money!
