Mike says the most popular DraftKings lineup will likely be Drake May, Ramondre Stevenson, Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Puka Nakua.

1. Fantasy Football Today DFS previews the NFC and AFC conference championship main slate with just two games on DraftKings. 2. Sian Ajad hosts with Meg Schaup and Mike McClure, who discuss DFS construction, ownership, and player pools for the slate. 3. The episode asks how to build winning lineups when the field has only four quarterbacks, limited roster spots, and several obvious plays. 4. Meg Schaup says short slates require telling a story with every lineup, comparing this format to showdown strategy. 5. Mike McClure says players should not be afraid of negative correlation, including defense against quarterback or receiver, and he wants two-game slates to use showdown-style roster rules. 6. The Patriots-Broncos game centers on Drake May, Ramondre Stevenson, and Denver quarterback Jarrett Stidham, with the total discussed around 42 points. 7. Meg calls Drake May her primary stack and pairs him with Ramondre Stevenson to capture most of New England's touchdown equity. 8. Mike says Drake May will likely be the highest-owned quarterback, with Stidham much lower, and he still wants exposure to Stidham because of the salary relief. 9. The Denver running back situation depends on J.K. Dobbins, and Mike says the lack of R.J. Harvey unders at one sportsbook suggests Dobbins may be closer to playing than expected. 10. Meg says she is waiting on the Denver receivers, but would likely pair Stidham with Courtland Sutton or Marvin Mims if she plays him. 11. The Rams-Seahawks game drives much of the slate discussion because Kenneth Walker, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Puka Nakua, Cooper Kupp, and Kyren Williams all project as core plays. 12. Mike says Kenneth Walker will be extremely popular without Zach Charbonnet, and he expects Walker to appear in at least 80% of many contests. 13. Meg says she is very much in on Kenneth Walker and JSN, but is less interested in the secondary Seattle pieces if Sam Darnold is limited by his oblique injury. 14. Mike says Kyren Williams can be a leverage play against Kenneth Walker, especially if the Rams defense is paired with him. 15. Meg says she likes Stafford stacks and has written up Kyren Williams' anytime touchdown prop at plus money after his postseason scoring run. 16. Mike says Cooper Kupp is close to a must-play for him, while he is less interested in the rest of the Rams passing tree because targets are spread across Puka, Davante Adams, Tyler Higbee, and Colby Parkinson. 17. The conversation stays practical and lineup-focused, with both hosts repeatedly converting game notes into stack and ownership decisions. 18. The tone is fast, collaborative, and strategy-heavy, with frequent back-and-forth on what the field will do. 19. Best for DFS players building conference championship lineups. 20. Skip if you want narrative analysis instead of roster strategy.
