Welcome to the two-game Christmas Day slate snapshot for Week 17. As the season winds down, the DFS slates start to alter drastically, with multiple two-game slates on the docket between now and Super Bowl 59. To help DFS players who are tackling both the two-game slate and playing single-game DFS, we’ve combined the analyses into one, so you can look at the slate as a whole and make the best decisions for whatever contest you’re playing. We’ll include the same metrics we typically examine in single-game slate analysis, discuss team pace and passing, and separate top plays from the auxiliary options. At the bottom, you’ll find projected ownership for the two-game slates, as well as projected ownership for each of the game’s single-game DFS contests.

In the early matchup, the Kansas City Chiefs, boasting a 14-1 record and angling for clinch home-field advantage as they vie for a third straight championship, face the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are tied with the Ravens in the AFC North at 10-5 and seeking a crucial win to secure the division lead. Later, the Baltimore Ravens visit the Houston Texans. Both teams have clinched playoff berths, but both have a ton to prove and a ton to play for in terms of seeding. Let’s break this down from both a multi-game and single-game DFS perspective.
