NFL Week 18 is here and it’s our last chance to build some winning DFS lineups off a full slate of games. We have 13 games on DraftKings and 14 on FanDuel, thanks to their use of the Sunday Night Football game between the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings. 

Obviously, everyone playing on FanDuel is going to use the chalk from that game which makes your DFS contrarian picks that much more important. We’ve been diving into the matchups all week long and have just checked in with the most recent NFL DFS Ownership projections so it’s time now to check in with some of our favorite contrarian picks.

 

 

 

Remember, having the right DFS contrarian picks in your lineups is important if you want to take down the big GPP money, but it’s more than just looking at our ownership projections and seeing who is expected 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 a mixed bag due to so much chalk hitting. Once you start seeing all the high-owned layers racking up fantasy points, the contrarian plays have a tougher time moving the needle. We did okay with Tua Tagovailoa and Grant Calcaterra, but both Rachad White and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-Ihkine were both busts. It happens. 

But that was last week and we’re onto a new one here. Let’s get to our favorite NFL Week 18 DFS contrarian picks:
