Raybon’s Vikings-Saints Wild Card DFS Strategy & Breakdown

This is a breakdown of one-game DFS contests for the NFL Wild Card matchup featuring the Minnesota Vikings at New Orleans Saints on Sunday at 1:05 p.m. E.T. Be sure to check our Models up until kickoff for up-to-date projections that reflect the latest breaking news.

Cash Game Strategy

Drew Brees has the top median, floor and ceiling projection in our DraftKings Showdown Models, as well as the top Projected Plus/Minus among players above the salary midpoint. With Brees locked in the captain spot, you can also fit Kirk Cousins, Dalvin Cook and Alvin Kamara if you punt the last two spots with Taysom Hill and Irv Smith.

On FanDuel, you can’t fit all four of Brees, Cook, Kamara and Cousins, so the best move is to pair Brees and Kamara with Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen and Irv Smith. Cook-Thielen-Smith gives you exposure to three of the top four targets in the Vikings passing game in lieu of Cousins, and the one player you would be fading (Stefon Diggs) has a tough matchup against Marshon Lattimore.
