Below is a breakdown of single-game DFS contests on FanDuel and DraftKings for the Wild Card Saturday Afternoon matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks. Constructing single-game lineups requires some imagination, especially for large-field tournament purposes. We want to create a lineup that reflects a certain kind of game script, choosing players who would thrive—or at least have the chance to thrive—if their teams got out to a lead or were left chasing points in the second half. There’s also the neutral script that doesn't tend to inflate opportunity for any one player or team. Understanding the likelihood of each scenario and piecing together a roster that would score a bunch of points in such a scenario is key to success in these single-game contests.

Vegas Spread And Total

The 49ers are 9.5-point favorites in a game with a projected game total of 42.5 points.

Both the implied point totals and the matchups suggest this should be more of a low-scoring environment. Typically that makes running backs, kickers, and defenses more viable.

Cheap Stacking Options

There are going to be obvious stacking plays in every showdown slate. Quarterbacks with their WR1 and/or TE and/or WR2 or a running back with their defense, for example. Below are some cheap, volatile stacking options that could serve us well in large-field tournaments.
