Christmas Day Slate Rundown ๐Ÿ“

The NFL delivers a three-game Christmas Day slate this year, and the DFS offerings are substantial, highlighted by DraftKingsโ€™ โ€œMerry Millionaireโ€ with $1,000,000 going to first place! The matchups themselves are admittedly underwhelming at first glance, as all three games will feature a third-string quarterback under center, including 39-year-old journeyman Josh Johnson (Commanders), undrafted rookie Max Brosmer (Vikings), and former seventh-round pick Chris Oladokun (Chiefs). That dynamic certainly caps the real-life appeal of these games, but DFS has a way of leveling the playing field, as everyone is navigating the same limited player pool and uncertainty. Even if the quarterback situations lead to lopsided or ugly game scripts, there are still edges to be found in volume, pricing, and game environments. And at the end of the day, football is football! So letโ€™s see what we can piece together. Merry Christmas, and best of luck!

Stacks & Bring Backs ๐Ÿฅž

Below are a few team/game stack ideas to consider for this slate. In some examples, I will include a โ€œbring backโ€ option which will feature a normal "QB + Receiver" stack along with a player from the opposing team in the same game that could also benefit should the primary "QB + Receiver" stack go off.

QB + WR/TE + Opp Receiver (Game Stack)

Dak Prescott, George Pickens, Deebo Samuel Sr.

QB + Two Pass Catchers (Double Stack)

Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, Jake Ferguson

QB + Two Pass Catchers (Double Stack)

Bo Nix, Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin

Full Team Stack - QB/WR-or-TE/RB

Jared Goff, Jameson Williams, Jahmyr Gibbs

Contrarian QB/WR/TE Double Stack

Josh Johnson, Treylon Burks, Ben Sinnott

โ€œUgly Duckling Game Stackโ€ | QB + Low-Owned WR + Low-Owned Opp WR

Jared Goff, Isaac TeSlaa, Jordan Addison

Best of luck and Merry Christmas to all! โ„๏ธ๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŽ…
