Finding any DraftKings DFS bargains in the 49ers team has been hit-and-miss all season. Their offense revolves around 4 players (Purdy, McCaffrey, Samuel, and Kittle). The Chiefs offense is more multi-faceted but nowhere near as clinical.\u00a0 At least not until Travis Kelce went all “superhero mode” against the Ravens. The 49ers defense will surely be designed to keep him under wraps. And that will give plenty of others some opportunities.<\/p>\n
He hasn\u2019t missed a kick during this playoff run. And kickers have accounted for 27% of the points the 49ers have conceded in the postseason. Butker will cost just $5,000 in this DraftKings DFS slate. And he could well be the Chiefs’ highest scorer.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n If they line him opposite Amby Thomas MVS will either draw a DPI penalty or rack up some big receiving yards. But he should actually line up opposite Charvarius Ward and he\u2019s been the 49ers’ best defender. During the regular season, he only allowed 54.1% of passes to be completed. In the playoffs that\u2019s gone up to 62.5%, but he has only been targeted 8 times in the 2 games.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Valdes-Scantling does have a height advantage over Ward, and he has played more snaps in every game. He only played 32 against the Dolphins in the arctic conditions in Arrowhead, but that had increased to 67 last time out against the Ravens. Valdes-Scantling has caught 4 of 6 targets in the last 2 games and he\u2019s racked up 100 yards on those receptions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Valdes-Scantling is yet to catch a touchdown in the postseason, but if he does, he\u2019ll score about 13 points. And at just $3,000 on the DraftKings DFS slate that would make him the king of bargains.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The tight end come fullback come quarterback (and that\u2019s the key role) is just $1,800 on the DraftKings DFS Captains Showdown slate. And he might be the Swiss army knife the Chiefs use to discombobulate the 49ers defense. The Lions began the NFC Championship game by keeping the 49ers defense off balance metaphorically rather than physically. The pre-snap motion and end-around kept San Francisco on the back foot. Somehow the Lions got away from that and decided that running Amon-Ra St. Brown straight into the heart of the 9ers\u2019 defense from the I formation was a good idea. Spoiler alert, it wasn\u2019t.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Gray hasn\u2019t played quarterback since he was in high school, but the Chiefs have <\/span>lined him up under center<\/span><\/a> as a de facto QB to sneak over the goal line. Seems like now would be the perfect time to line him under center to fake the sneak and throw a pass instead.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nThe Trending Upward DraftKings DFS Pick – Marquez Valdes-Scantling <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n
