Shaun Evans NFL DFS picks for RIVAL Fantasy Bingo contests for Conference Championship 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 Conference Championship 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
George Kittle is a pure "Deebo Samuel is limited" play. As of Thursday, Samuel practiced in a limited fashion and if he is ruled out or limited in Sunday's game, Kittle will move up as a top play. In two games this season without Deebo, George Kittle has recorded five receptions for 78 yards and nine receptions for 149 yards. In last week's playoff game versus Green Bay, he recorded four receptions off of seven targets for 81 yards and a score.
When it came to the target share last week, Kittle moved to 19% with a 17% target per route ran share. Now, getting the Detroit Lions, he could be in line for some good work as they currently are the worst team left in the playoffs versus Detroit. With a projection of 4.8 reception for 69.7 receiving yards and 0.5 touchdowns, George Kittle is a top target at the tight end position.
Christian McCaffrey
It's hard to pass up on Christian McCaffrey in any game. While the Detroit Lions haven't allowed a single rusher to rush for over 70 yards, McCaffrey is no normal back. He comes into Sunday's game, projected for 18.5 rushing attempts, 87 rushing yards with 4.3 receptions for 34.4 receiving yards, and 1.4 total touchdowns. He is one of the highest projected players overall on the slate again.
While the Detroit Lions are good at stopping the run, they rank 30th for yards per passing attempt and McCaffrey has been used heavily in the passing game. Last week versus Green Bay, he had a 33% target share with a 30% target per route run share. His usage in the run and passing game will continue making him a top priority play every week he's available.
Rashee Rice has proven he can be Patrick Mahomes number one wide receiver, second in line to tight end Travis Kelce. While Kelce had a great game versus the Buffalo Bills, Rice still finished the day with a 19% target share. He recorded four receptions on four targets for 47 receiving yards versus Buffalo and in the Wild Card round, he recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 130 receiving yards and one score.
Rice is projected as the third-highest receiver in fantasy points with a projection line of 6.4 receptions, 65.4 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns. This will be a difficult matchup for the offense of Kansas City but with a close game coming down to the wire, look for Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce to be relied on heavily to secure a win for the Chiefs.
