We've made it, RotoBallers! It's officially Super Bowl time, and this year it's a clash of the elite as the Patriots and Seahawks return to the big stage in a rematch of Super Bowl XLIX from 2015. The Pats emerged victorious in that one, and Drake Maye and company would love to repeat.

Top Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, SEA, WR 

We'll begin with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who possesses a floor/ceiling combo that rivals the quarterbacks (an unusual trait for a WR, as target share is not always that bankable). JSN was a revelation for the Seahawks this season, putting up gaudy stats en route to becoming a surefire early first-round pick in fantasy drafts next year.

Smith-Njigba was tops in the NFL in target share with a 36% rate, and his 48.8% air yards share was also second. He led the league in receiving yards and finished the season with 10 total TDs. Patriots' top CB Christian Gonzalez is not known to be a shadow corner, so JSN's ability to line up all over should mean he avoids Gonzalez at times (JSN did lead the NFL in slot snaps a year ago).

He'll have my highest exposure at the Captain/MVP position this weekend. JSN's unique skill and target concentration in the Seattle offense give him the ability to outscore all positions (and also the best chance to unseat a QB for the Super Bowl MVP).

Also, congrats to JSN on his Offensive Player of the Year Award!

Drake Maye, NE, QB

The safety in the QB floor will be popular among people who are picking captains this weekend. Maye's stock is soaring after finishing the season with 4,927 passing yards, 35 TDs, and 591 rushing yards. Maye's passing floor has taken a hit recently as he's thrown under 30 passes in six of his last seven games, but the dual-threat ability gives Maye a special combo of safety and upside.

The Seahawks certainly have the defense to shut down the pass, but Maye is going to be leaned on in the biggest game of the year. He's rushed the ball 24 times in his last three games and cleared 65 yards in two of them. Maye is a necessity in cash games, but presents an interesting thought in GPP. The Seahawks have allowed the second-fewest rushing yards to QBs and also the second-lowest YPA by them, so an RB/defense-heavy pivot is a fun idea.

Other Captains/MVPs: Sam Darnold, Kenneth Walker III

Mid-Priced Magic - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Kenneth Walker III, SEA, RB

Kenneth Walker's role was everything we wanted it to be in the NFC Championship game. He carried the ball 19 out of a possible 22 times and caught all four of his targets for 12.2 YPC. Expect that workhorse role to continue with Zach Charbonnet out.

The matchup is not easy against the Pats, who allowed the second-fewest rushing yards and the second-fewest FPPG to opposing RBs. However, Walker's role in this game should mitigate any matchup concerns, and he had all the red zone carries as well.

Rhamondre Stevenson, NE, RB

There was a time in New England's season where TreVeyon Henderson was fully unlocked, and we got some fun fantasy days out of it. That time appears over for now, as Henderson played a meager four snaps against Denver in last week's AFC Championship game. Rhamondre Stevenson was incredibly inefficient (2.8 YPC), but he played 60 snaps and got 25 carries in the most important game of the year.

New England clearly trusts Stevenson in pass protection, and that should be on even bigger display this week against a Seattle team that was top-10 in both sacks and pressure rate. In addition, the Seahawks allowed the most receptions in the league to RBs, along with the sixth-most receiving yards.

Other Flex Options: Stefon Diggs

 

Value Plays - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Hunter Henry, NE, TE

Hunter Henry has not been as consistent this year with Maye as he was last year, and a lot of that has to do with the change in coaching staff and the revolving door of WRs. However, I expect Henry to ascend to Maye's top option in this one, as Seattle's main chink in the armor has been against the TE position.

The Seahawks' secondary has been nails on the perimeter, preferring to allow teams to pepper slot WRs and TEs over the middle. On the season, they've allowed the ninth-most FPPG and the fourth-most yards to TEs, along with 7.5 YPC. I'm not even opposed to captaining Henry if it means one more stud in your lineup.

George Holani, SEA, RB

Here's the punt play of the weekend. George Holani is nowhere near Charbonnet, as evidenced by the 19-3 carry edge Walker had over him last week. However, Holani completely took over Charbonnet's passing-down role, equaling Walker's four targets.

At his price tags, Holani is one of the top values. Like Seattle, New England's run defense is stout, but they've been hit with RBs out of the backfield. On the season, the Pats allowed the sixth-most receptions (84) to opposing running backs.

Other Value Options: Cooper Kupp, Mack Hollins, SEA D/ST, NE D/ST
