NFL DFS DraftKings GPP Picks: Week 18 (Fantasy Football)

For the purposes of this article, I’ll be highlighting plays that I believe have upside for large field GPPs at reduced roster percentages, but that doesn’t mean we can’t sprinkle in some cash plays into our GPP lineups as well. In fact, most of the best tournament lineups feature some combination of high rostered plays as well as lower rostered plays. For my full breakdown on DraftKings for Week 18 cash games, be sure to check out my DraftKings cash picks here.

When building your GPP lineups, be sure to reference our Roster Percentage Report as well as our DFS Rankings in order to identify plays who have a solid projection yet may be undervalued by the field. In order to compete in GPPs, we’ll want to utilize a combination of cash plays and GPP plays in order to build solid lineups without sacrificing too much in the way of projection. For more on how to use roster percentages and build strong GPP lineups, be sure to check out this episode of the DFS Podcast.

Quarterbacks

Bo Nix $6,400 vs. KC
There’s probably not going to be much back and forth in this game with KC trotting out Carson Wentz and the backups. That said, the Broncos still need to win to make the playoffs, so their starters will go all out here. Nix has been great for fantasy this year, and he’s flashed some ceiling at time with his ability to run the ball and throw for multiple scores in a game. Against a KC defense that won’t play Chris Jones or Trent McDuffie, Denver should put up some points. For context, Denver’s 25.5 implied team total is the fourth-highest on Week 18’s Main Slate.
