NFL Saturday 12/21/24 DK DFS Breakdown

Saturday football is here! Time to dig in and make some holiday money!

Houston Texans vs Kansas City Chiefs

Pittsburgh Steelers vs Baltimore Ravens

QB

At the quarterback spot, Lamar Jackson is the clear-cut guy in this position. The upside is all in his favor, and paying up for him is well worth it. Patrick Mahomes is dealing with an ankle injury, and that will limit him. CJ Stroud has been subpar and is my second favorite option at the quarterback position. Russell Wilson is the odd man out for me on this slate.

RB

It gets gross at the running back spot after Derrick Henry and Joe Mixon. Both are guys I am leaning into my lineups for. Derrick Henry will need two touchdowns to pay his price tag, but we know he can do that. Joe Mixon has pass-catching ability despite the matchup. Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt are still splitting carries, which is worrisome. Najee Harris had a fumble last week, and that led to Jaylen Warren seeing increased snaps.

WR

Nico Collins is up top and seeing targets along with touchdown ability. In my Stroud stacks, I do like him, of course. John Metchie is out, and that could open up targets for Robert Woods. Hollywood Brown is off the IR and is at the bottom of the barrel price tag on DraftKings. The snaps are unsure, but that makes me worry about the other receivers on the team. George Pickens is out for the Steelers. Calvin Austin and Van Jefferson are both cheap. Mike Williams is hard to trust, and I rather go to the other two receivers listed above. The Raven's receivers are interesting. Zay Flowers is a must-play in your lineups. Rashod Bateman is questionable. Dionte Johnson was cut from the team, and Nelson Agholor is out. Oh man, haha! Tylan Wallace will see an increase in snaps.

TE

Travis Kelce has had a weird season, to say the least. I don't mind him on this slate, and he is just a guy for me. Mark Andrews will see more looks with the injuries on the team. Pat Freiermuth will see more targets and love his upside. Dalton Schultz is in a good matchup for this slate.
