| 0:00.0 | Let's make some DFS lineups for the AFC and NFC Championship Games. |
| 0:06.3 | Holy cow, they're here. |
| 0:07.6 | We'll talk about it right now on FD Express. |
| 0:14.2 | All right, it's Broncos and Patriots, and it's Rams and Seahawks, part three. |
| 0:20.2 | So Patriots are four and a half point favorites on the road as of Thursday afternoon. |
| 0:25.0 | Total in that game is 42 and a half. |
| 0:27.2 | The Rams and Seahawks are two and a half point favorites. |
| 0:30.7 | Total is 47. |
| 0:31.9 | That game's at 6.30 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. |
| 0:34.1 | Hey, Dave. |
| 0:35.3 | Adam, I think there are going to be two things that you will see consistent with DFS lineups this week. Number one, Pooka Nakua and Jackson Smith and Jigba in lineups, working together, tandem, two stud, number one wide receivers. You can go in a lot of different directions if you have those two in a lab. You can go cheap at running back and get a good quarterback with those two wide receivers, or you can go expensive at running back, cheap a quarterback, and still stick with those two wide receivers. The other thing I think you'll see is if J.K. Dobbins is cleared. If he comes off IR, ready to go, his price is so low on both Fanduel and Draft Kings that you'll see him get into |
| 1:12.2 | lineups because people will see the cheap price tag. |
| 1:14.9 | They'll remember how good he was at the beginning of the year and they will slide him |
| 1:18.4 | into lineup. |
| 1:19.2 | So the more you can do to get away from that and differentiate the better. |
| 1:25.5 | But even with that being said, I don't know how you get away from using at least one of Nakua and JSN. Every lineup that I've made so far, I've made three. They all have Puka and JSN in them. So if you want to try and be different, you try and build something without them in there, you're going to have enough money left over to use one of them anyway if you do that. So maybe pick one of those two and move forward with your lineup. |
| 1:48.1 | Yeah, I mean, I have a Fandu lineup that does not have, does not have Jackson Smith and Jigpa. |
| 1:55.0 | It does have Pook and Akua, but it doesn't have Jackson Spith and Jigba. |
| 1:57.1 | So just to not repeat the same thing we just did on the main show, I didn't ask anyone |
| 2:02.1 | about Devante Adams because obviously a great season, always a must start wide receiver, |
| 2:08.3 | certainly a way to save money, not that he's cheap, but Puka on Fandals, 9800, JSN's 9,400, |
| 2:15.0 | Devante's $8,000. |
