NFL DFS Lineup Advice Christmas Day: Jalen Hurts & Lamar Jackson Stand Out as Stud QBs (December 25)

The NFL never sleeps, not even for Santa Claus and Christmas Day. Neither does Stokastic. We’ve got NFL DFS Lineup Advice for the 3-game main slate on DraftKings for Monday.

This short slate looks much different than Saturday. Instead of deciding between Mason Rudolph, Easton Stick, Jake Browning and Josh Allen, we have Lamar Jackson, Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy. Or we can always punt with the cheap options in Tommy DeVito or Aidan O’Connell.

There are key decisions to be made, that’s for sure.

We understand not everyone looking for NFL DFS lineup advice has the time to watch every show, read every breakdown and input data into optimizers. Perhaps you’re still getting a feel for NFL DFS and aren’t quite ready to give NFL Sims a try.

That’s where our NFL Lineup Generator comes in handy.

In just a few minutes and with the click of a few buttons, sort through lineups and save up to 20 at a time using a tool that processes our projections for you.

We used Lineup Generator to see what players we’d see most often in our builds on Christmas Day. It’s a tool that has proven to be quite popular with our community, and one that has driven results for bankrolls of all sizes.

 

Here’s how we used Lineup Generator on Christmas Day and the lineups and exposures that came from it.

It all starts with picking three main options. First, you’ll choose the DFS slate of your choice: DraftKings main, DraftKings Showdown, FanDuel main or FanDuel single game.

Then it’s time to choose your stack setting. You can choose ‘All Stack Types’ to leave options open, or you can get more specific with what you’re looking for by choosing one-man stacks, two-man stacks plus runback options.

Finally, let Lineup Generator know what kind of build you’re going for: All, Chalky, Balanced or Contrarian.

With just three games, we’re going with Two Man Stacks + Runback and Contrarian Lineups as our choices.

Here’s a breakdown of our most popular players in our 20 saved lineups.

 

There’s a heavy dose of Isiah Pacheco, who is the most popular player not the slate, but we gain leverage by going over the field with 80 percent. It makes sense based on our NFL projections.

The most popular stack is close between the Ravens and Eagles. Jalen Hurts is projected to be the highest-owned quarterback on the slate but we get different by pairing him with D’Andre Swift and Dallas Goedert. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson’s most popular pair is Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr.

Where’s the contrarian option? They exist with each lineup, but we’re way overweight on Darren Waller, who is seeing single-digit ownership. Find all of our NFL ownership here.

Let’s take a look below at an example of one of our contrarian lineups.

 

We’ve got a Chiefs stack in this example, but we’re leaving off Travis Kelce despite going with two tight ends. We’ve got low-owned Waller, with one-offs in Beckam Jr. and Jakobi Meyers each seeing under 20 percent ownership. We’re also getting different by leaving $700 salary on the table.

These exposures are based completely off my settings. You can change between lineup builds and save lineups along the way. In total, I had 20 lineups saved in roughly five minutes.

That’s what makes this such a great NFL DFS tool for newer players and players who don’t have time in the morning to get their NFL lineups in before lock. It’s extremely customizable for your preferences.

Not only are you getting Lineup Generator, but any Stokastic package includes access to our Premium Discord where you can interact with both our pros and community at any time.

Good luck with your NFL DFS Lineups on Christmas Day!
