NFL DFS FanDuel GPP Picks Week 18 (Fantasy Football)

Building winning GPP lineups, by definition, is tough. There are, however, some key things to look for when filling out your roster. First and foremost is ceiling; we want the players with the potential to score the most points. Next is leverage; we want the players that fall through the cracks. Finally, we have to build a lineup that tells a winning story through game script and stacking. 

For a deeper dive into GPP strategy, make sure to check out the Tournament Strategy episode that Borg and Betz put out over the offseason, and make sure to stay locked into the DFS and Betting Podcast.

A final note before diving into the picks. Don’t ignore Borg’s Cash Picks article. It pairs perfectly with my GPP picks article, as it’s typically a good idea to mix in some value plays, especially if they fit the GPP-winning story you write. 

Quarterbacks

Josh Allen @ MIA – $9,500

In a rare twist, FanDuel is including the Sunday night showdown in Miami as part of the Week 18 main slate. That’s great news, as it features two highly motivated teams in the best-projected game environment on the slate. Allen, the QB1 this year, has scored a league-leading 42 total touchdowns this season. A banged-up Miami defense isn’t likely to slow him down in this potential shootout. He’s the most expensive QB on the slate, but there are plenty of ways to save salary elsewhere in Week 18.
