NFL Week 13 DFS Contrarian Picks: Kyler Murray, Quentin Johnston, More
Now that the Thanksgiving holiday has passed, we can focus our attention on the NFL Week 13 main slate. We may only have a 10-game slate (11 if you’re playing on FanDuel) with which to work, but there are plenty of strong, contrarian options we can use to building winning DFS lineups for GPP tournaments.
Finding the right DFS contrarian picks is important if you want to take down the big GPP money, but it’s more than just looking at our NFL DFS Ownership projections and seeing who is projected to be lower-owned. The matchups need to be on-point as well. In fact, we’re looking for situations that are even more favorable, yet the public has not yet unearthed it.
Last week was decent for the Contrarian Corner, though only two of our picks really provided the value we needed. Everyone wanted to ignore Patrick Mahomes but us and we got his first and only three-touchdown performance of the season. We also nailed it with tight end T.J. Hockenson who went over 100 receiving yards for us.
We did try to get a little cute with Audric Estime who is officially dead to our rosters from now on and the Tommy Cutlets passing to Wan’Dale Robinson also busted. But that’s what GPP lineups are all about – sink or swim, boom or bust.
But enough about yesterday’s news. If you’re ready to take another stab at it and win your GPP tournaments, let’s get to our favorite NFL Week 13 DFS contrarian picks:
