There’s only one big game on Sunday, so that means we need to build a DFS showdown slate for Super Bowl LVII!
For the showdown slate, we first need to pick a captain or MVP. The Captain or MVP spot gets a multiplier on points scored, but you will also pay a premium salary. Popular choices for this spot will of course be Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and Travis Kelce. For cash games with friends or head-to-head matchups, this makes a lot of sense. If you’re playing in a large tournament, however, you may want to consider going more contrarian in this spot. The more you can differentiate your lineup, the more of the pot you can take home if you build a winning lineup.
For showdown slates we also do not have to pay any attention to position. Simply choose the five or six best players that you can roster for the salary-cap. And yes, that may even include a kicker!
