UFL DFS Lineup Picks: DraftKings Daily Fantasy Advice for UFL Championship

June 14, 2025

The top daily fantasy UFL lineup picks for DraftKings for UFL Championship 2025. Kyle Ringstad provides UFL DFS analysis and sleeper picks for building optimal DFS rosters.

Welcome to the UFL Championship, RotoBallers! We have a final matchup between the Michigan Panthers and the D.C. Defenders, who each finished the year in second place with a 6-4 record and knocked off teams with better records, the Birmingham Stallions and St. Louis Battlehawks, respectively. The game holds a high 51.5-point implied total, so we should be in store for plenty of fireworks and fantasy points in the last game of the season.

With only one game on the slate, there aren’t a ton of options, but that means every lineup decision matters a little more. We’ve got some familiar names in great spots, a few sneaky value plays, and plenty of ways to get different without getting (too) weird.

Below are my thoughts on DraftKings' Championship DFS slate of UFL contests, which goes live on 6/14 at 8 ET. I encourage you to read all our other weekly UFL fantasy football articles and stay on top of injury news and roster moves to remain well-informed and ahead of the competition. Let's get to it. Good luck, RotoBallers!

DraftKings Captain - UFL Championship DFS Picks

Bryce Perkins - Michigan Panthers vs. D.C. Defenders - $15K

This is the only logical choice for QB in the captain spot, in my opinion. Michigan is currently 3.5-point favorites to win this game, and Perkins has shown a higher upside and season-long average (22.8 DK PPG) than Jordan Ta'amu, so it's hard to see why he's cheaper. D.C. has a solid defense, but Perkins crushed them with 31.1 DK points in Week 6, his highest output of the year. The elite rushing upside is what we're chasing with him, as he has at least eight carries and a rushing touchdown in three consecutive games coming into tonight's action.

Toa Taua - Michigan Panthers vs. D.C. Defenders - $14.1K

It's going to be hard to fit both Perkins and Taua in one lineup, but getting to the explosive RB for the Panthers makes a ton of sense on this showdown slate. He's the clear lead back on a team that loves to run the ball, and he has scored at least 12.4 DK points in six of his last seven games. He carried 21 times for 85 yards and three touchdowns in last week's semifinal matchup, finishing with an astounding 30 DK points.

DraftKings Flex - UFL Championship DFS Picks

Cornell Powell - D.C. Defenders @ Michigan Panthers - $7.4K

If the Defenders are going to make this a game and keep up with the Panthers, Powell will have to be a focal point in the offensive attack. D.C.'s typical WR1, Chris Rowland, has been shaky lately, averaging just 33.8 receiving yards per game over his last five contests. That has opened the door for Powell to emerge, who has averaged 20.8 DK PPG in that same five-game stretch. I love getting to him as the key runback when stacking up the Panthers with Perkins and Taua.

Matt McCrane - Michigan Panthers vs. D.C. Defenders - $4.8K

I know that it's boring, but we're looking to take down DFS contests, not score style points. We can finally get kickers into lineups for the first time this season, and it makes a lot of sense to work them into lineups, given that this game has one of the highest implied totals all season at 51.5 points. McCrane is 17-for-23 this season, including four from 40-49 yards and two from 50+ yards. I believe Michigan will have plenty of scoring opportunities in this one, and I love getting to him to complete my Michigan stacks on this slate.
