Shaun Evans NFL DFS picks for RIVAL Fantasy Bingo contests for Playoff Weekend. Sign up for RIVAL fantasy and use his NFL DFS Fantasy Bingo picks to win money.
Welcome to our new series covering RIVAL Fantasy Bingo picks for the NFL Playoff Weekend! We will be covering how to play and the strategies to win.
Fantasy Bingo is a spin on the classic game Bingo but the goal is to match achievements, not numbers. You will build a DFS lineup for the weekly games to unlock the achievements and fill in those squares. You can win by getting five in a row, all four corners, or an entire card blackout.
The prize pool for the weekly slate is distributed among all of the winning cards. They are broken down in two ways. 56% of the prize pool to cards that have five in a row -- vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. 44% of the prize pool is for cards that just cover the four corners. Also, the prize pool gets larger as more bingo cards are entered. You can have up to 100 max cards all with different lineups created. Check here for the updated rules and scoring.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Strategy
With setting a lineup to similar DFS Apps, stacking is the way to go. You would want to have your choice of quarterback paired with one to two pass-catchers. For example: Brock Purdy paired with Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk. Two high-usage weapons for Purdy. You can always run it back with one pass-catching player from the opposing team or just keep your stack naked.
Now, what to do with the other roster spots to fill? One way to go since there is no salary cap for the lineups on RIVAL Fantasy is to target the players with high usage rates. RIVAL Fantasy Bingo is all about achievements and players who can hit multiple in a game. We want to use players who can do it all.
Kickers are players too and they are on the Fantasy Bingo Cards. Not every card will be positive for them though. Your card may have a kicker that needs to miss three field goals during a game. You just won't know until your card is generated after your lineup is submitted. That is the tricky part.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Picks
Christian McCaffrey
Christian McCaffrey is a top target for this weekend's playoff action. He currently holds a 56.99% rush attempt share on the season while holding an 18% target share on 79% of routes ran. Before being pulled from the Week 17 action due to an injury, McCaffrey put together three straight games of 100 rushing yards or more. He also had three games of five targets or more. Now, he'll be facing the Green Bay Packers who struggle against the run.
The Green Bay Packers rank 26th when it comes to rushing yards allowed per game and 23rd against yards per carry. On top of that, we have seen CMC have multiple games of scoring at least one rushing touchdown or receiving touchdown. If the Packer's defense can't slow Christian McCaffrey down, he'll have one impressive playoff outing Saturday.
If you're running Christian McCaffrey, pairing Deebo Samuel with him could be the ultimate Bingo move. While the big yardage games aren't happening for Samuel, he's dominating the game as a receiving and running back. He holds a route share of 68.99% on the season with a target share of 19%. He also is a huge threat with yards after the catch and Green Bay is terrible at stopping that from happening.
Deebo Samuel is projected for six targets, four receptions for 57 receiving yards, and 14.2 rushing yards. He leads the 49ers receiving group with the highest projected fantasy points also with 11.1. This game and the Houston Texans versus Baltimore Ravens game have the highest point spread with -9.5. This could be a blowout game for the 49ers and Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel will most likely be the focus points for the offense.
Dalton Kincaid wasted no time in the Wildcard round last week versus Pittsburgh. For his first playoff game, he recorded three receptions off of six targets for 59 yards and one touchdown. Kincaid finished with a target share of 20% compared to Dawson Knox's 7%. He was also in on 65% of the snaps for routes ran compared to Knox's 35%. The young tight end has gained the full trust of the Bills coaching staff and Josh Allen.
Now in another game with crazy weather, Kincaid's matchup versus Kansas City will be a little more difficult. The Kansas City defense ranks 9th versus tight ends and may cause some trouble. With the weather in Buffalo, a short passing game could be huge for Josh Allen, making Kincaid a huge weapon.
