Week 17 DFS Main Slate Rundown 📝

We are hours away from 2023 and I know many folks have some big New Year’s plans going on so, just like last week’s Christmas Eve NFL main slate, we’re going to condense this newsletter down to a cheat sheet format. Only two more weeks are remaining in the NFL regular season so let’s enjoy these huge slates while we still have ‘em! We’ll have 13 games to sink our teeth into this Sunday. Everyone have a safe and happy New Year!

Main slate match-ups with implied point totals and spreads:

Weather Report

Unlike last week, the weather will not be a major issue to worry about. There are no games on this main slate with any significant weather concerns worth mentioning!

Defenses to Consider

D/ST is a very volatile “position” and shouldn’t take up too much time in your DFS research. However, here are some D/STs I’m on board with this week.

Pay-Up D/ST: Kansas City Chiefs | DK: $3.8k, FD: $4.3k | vs. DEN

DraftKings Value: San Francisco 49ers | DK: $2.9k, FD: $5k | @ LV

DraftKings Value: New England Patriots | DK: $2.6k, FD: $4k | vs. MIA

Stacks & Bring Backs 🥞

Below are a few team/game stack ideas to consider for this slate. In some examples, I will include a “bring back” 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)

Justin Fields, Cole Kmet, Amon-Ra St. Brown

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

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Jerry Jeudy

QB + Two Pass Catchers (Double Stack)

Aaron Rodgers, Christian Kirk, Allen Lazard

QB + Two Pass Catchers (Double Stack)

Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark Jr.

Full Team Stack - QB/WR/RB

Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey

Value Team Stack

Mike White, Garrett Wilson, Zonovan Knight

“Ugly Duckling Game Stack” | QB + WR + Opp TE

Gardner Minshew II, DeVonta Smith, Juwan Johnson

Touchdown Call 🏈

Justin Fields, CHI | DK: $7.9k, FD: $8.4k | @ DET (Rushing TD)

Reminder: Follow @LineStarApp on Twitter and retweet the weekly Touchdown Calls tweet! Three retweeters are randomly selected and assigned a player from the TD calls between myself, @FlatTyler83, and @ShannonOnSports. If your player scores a touchdown, you’ll win your choice of cash (via PayPal) or a one-month subscription to LineStar!

PrizePicks NFL Power Play ⚡

This is a two-pick NFL "Power Play" I have over on PrizePicks. Nothing is ever a guarantee to hit but these props did stand out so I'll be rolling it out with confidence! If it hits, it will return a 3x payout!

Justin Fields MORE than 1.5 PASS+RUSH+REC TDs

DeVonta Smith MORE than 4.5 Receptions
