Have you ever dreamed of becoming a General Manager of a team sports? General Managers are the ones who get to select players they want to sign with the team. General Managers or GMs are also responsible for the salary cap.
Not every one of us has the chance to become a General Manager. It’s a good thing that we have Fantasy Sports, which allow you to be in the shoes of a GM. Here, you’ll have a similar function like a real-life GM would. You’ll be the one to draft players that you think are best for the team that you are going to create. You can pick any players as long as they’re active and within certain rules in your league.
Whether you are a beginner to this sport or not, it’s good to know the players you will pick when creating a team. The greater the stats of a player, the more chances of winning. Having that said, here is the best lineup of players for your Daily Fantasy Sports.
Patrick Mahomes
Drafted last 2017 by the Kansas City Chiefs as the tenth overall pick, Patrick Mahomes is a name that almost every sports aficionado knows. He was a backup QB in his rookie days, but when the Chiefs traded Alex Smith to the Washington Redskins, Mahomes then became their starting QB. Today, Mahomes is the highest-paid athlete in the NFL with a 10-year contract of $500 million.
Mahomes led the Chiefs in the 2019-2020 playoffs, where they won the Super Bowl LIV where he was named the Super Bowl MVP. Given Mahomes meteoric rise to the top, who wouldn’t want to include Mahomes in their Fantasy Sportsline up?
It’s a good idea to have Mahomes in your Daily Fantasy Sports because of his amazing stats. He is first in Yards with 3,497, third in touchdowns with a record of 30, first in interceptions with a record of 2, and first in Quarterback rating with a record of 86.1. If you want to improve your game, then Patrick Mahomes should be part of your Super Bowl DFS picks.
Russell Wilson
Russel Wilson was the twelfth pick of the Seattle Seahawks in the third round of the 2012 NFL draft and was seventy-fifth overall. In that same year, Wilson was named as the Pepsi NFL Rookie of the year. The seven-time Pro Bowl QB was also awarded NFL passer rating leader in 2015 and NFL passing touchdowns leader in 2017.
Wilson was also one of the highest-paid athletes in 2019 when he signed a 4-year $140 million extension with the Seahawks. It’s a relief knowing that this kind of player will still be playing for the next three years because Wilson is an excellent choice for your Fantasy Sports lineup.
It’s also a good idea to add Wilson in your line up because currently, he is third in Yards with 3,216, second in Touchdowns with a record of 31, Tied-27th in Interceptions with a record of 10, and has a QB rating of 70.5, 12th overall.
Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers was the number 24 pick in round 1 drafted by the Green Bay Packers in the 2005 NFL draft. He was a backup QB just like any other rookies in their early careers. He became their starting QB in 2008, and two years later, he led his team to a Super Bowl XLV victory against the Steelers, where he was named Super Bowl MVP.
It’s a good idea to add Rodgers to your lineup because he is an experienced QB; he is a two time NFL Most Valuable Player in 2011 and 2014, a two time NFL passer rating leader in 2011 and 2012. He also has eight Pro Bowl appearances which makes up for great experience in the post season and championship games.
Although Rodgers is a sure candidate for the hall of fame, he’s still far from finishing his career. More reason to add him to your lineup is Rodgers’ current stats. He has a record of 3,100 Yards (6th), 33 Touchdowns (1st), 4 Interceptions (Tied-4th), and a Qb rating of 84.6 (2nd).
Aaron Donald
We already have three options for our offensive end. It’s not a good idea to keep focusing on offense. Having that said, it’s a good idea to include Aaron Donald in your lineup. Donald has six Pro Bowl appearances, and he was also included in the NFL 2010s All-Decade Team. Donald was 13th pick in the first round of the 2014 NFL draft. The Los Angeles Rams drafted him. In that same year, he was named the NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was also the back to back NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2017 and 2018. He is considered to be one of the best defensive tackles of all time.
Here are Donalds’ current stats,
● Solo tackles, 19; rating, 150+
● Sacks, 10; rating, 2nd
● Forced Fumbles, 4; rating, Tied-2nd
● Interceptions, 0; rating. 150+
Takeaway
We all have a favorite player regardless of their team. Sometimes our favorite players are the underrated ones. Above are the players you might want to consider including in your Daily Fantasy needs.
