Best NFL DFS sleepers and expert picks for 49ers vs. Lions NFC Championship Game

In the NFC Championship Game coming Sunday night (6:30 p.m. ET, FOX) in Santa Clara, the top-seeded 49ers will take on the resurgent Lions, who have enough offensive star power to light up the Bay Area sky. But, selecting sleepers and value picks in a DFS lineup on DraftKings, FanDuel, or SuperDraft is just as important to winning tournaments as selecting superstars. We will showcase the best of the reasonably priced options from this NFC matchup today.

The big names are plentiful in this one. Brock Purdy, Mr. Irrelevant-turned-MVP candidate, faces off against former No. 1 pick Jared Goff, Christian McCaffrey, odds-on favorite to win Offensive Player of the Year, led the NFL with 1,459 rushing yards, 2,023 all-purpose yards, and 21 TDs this season. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Three of the best wideouts in the game are Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, and Amon-Ra St. Brown; two of the best pass-catching tight ends in the league are probably George Kittle and Sam LaPorta. Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, who have combined for 2,393 scrimmage yards and a staggering 24 touchdowns, form Detroit’s 1-2 backfield punch.

Everyone knows that selecting the most elite stars for our DFS lineups strengthens our position to compete in tournaments. But losing on sleepers can quickly ruin our hopes of taking home the daily fantasy gold. Additionally, we can afford to add more stars to other roster places the more inexpensive production we draft. For this reason, we’ve listed the wages and boosted for each major site along with the dark-horse DFS sleepers and bargain options from 49ers-Lions this weekend. Now let’s move!
