It doesn't get much bigger than the Week 4 Sunday Night Football matchup between the Buccaneers and Chiefs. The game is currently priced at a pick 'em, with the total set at O/U 45.5 points, per Caesars Sportsbook. This game has a ton of talent at the skill positions on both sidelines, giving NFL DFS players a variety of potential stud and sleeper picks to fill out a DraftKings Showdown lineup
Tyson Ross Jersey .Before we break down our strategy and lineup, here are the key scoring settings for DraftKings Showdown contests: They'refull-point PPR and there arethree-point bonuses for 300 pa sing yards, 100 rushing yards, and 100 receiving yards. The Captain pick costs 1.5 times a player's original price, but he also gets his point total multiplied by 1.5.LIVE:MORE DK SHOWDOWN: Captain (1.5x points, 1.5x salary): QB Tom Brady, Buccaneers ($15,000)Brady's captain salary is $2,100 cheaper than Patrick Mahomes, making it a bit easier to navigate a well-rounded lineup by paying up for TB12. Brady hasn't scored more than 15 DK points in a game so far, but he has the chance to post his best performance of the season in a game where he could have his full complement of receiving options back. Given
Adrian Morejon Jersey Kansas City's high-octane offense, Brady could be forced into throwing at a high clip.MORE SNF: | | FLEX QB Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs ($11,400)Despite his likely high roster percentage, Mahomes is a shoo-in selection for Showdown lineups, as he has the ability to throw for 250-plus yards with two-plus pa sing TDs against anyone. With the weather conditions improving in Tampa, Mahomes won't be affected by bad field conditions, resulting in a solid fantasy point output for the second-most efficient QB in 2022 (+43.3 EPA).WEEK 4 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | FLEX WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, Chiefs ($7,000) JuJu put forth his best performance as a Chief last week against the Colts, hauling in five pa ses for 89 yards on eight targets.With the Chiefs not having much of a running game, look for another effective performance from Smith-Schuster. JuJu has ran
Randy Jones Jersey a route on 80.7 percent of the Chiefs' pa sing plays, and his route participation has the chance to increase in what should be a close contest.WEEK 4 DFS LINEUPS: | FLEX WR Ru sell Gage, Buccaneers ($6,200)Gage emerged as Brady's go-to option in the pa sing game last week against the Packers, securing 12 catches for 87 yards and a TD. While there is some uncertainty regarding which Tampa WRs will suit up, Gage's relatively cheap salary of $6,200 makes him a worthwhile addition to Showdown lineups. If either of Chris Godwin (hamstring) or Julio Jones (knee) is out, Gage should easily return value. Even if both play, he has a chance to be a key differentiator.WEEK 4 DFS:
Nick Margevicius Jersey | FLEX WR Marquez Valdez-Scantling, Chiefs ($5,600) MVS has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards through the first three weeks but could be in line for his best receiving yards output of the early season. Tampa has a well-rounded defense, but given Valdez-Scantling's big-play nature, it might only take one explosive play for him to help DFS owners get in the money. If his abdomen injury keeps him out, Mecole
Greg Garcia Jersey Hardman ($5,200) makes for an obvious pivot.WEEK 4 FANTASY PICKS: | | FLEX RB Jerick McKinnon, Chiefs ($4,600)McKinnon scored just two fantasy points last week against the Colts but played 52 percent of snaps and had the same amount of carries (7) as Clyde Edwards-Helaire. He's by far the player with the biggest risk in our lineup, but if he's able to secure a few receptions and land in the end zone, he'll be worth rostering.
