DraftKings Tiers – Conference Championship Sunday
January 27, 2023
This is our final Tiers slate of the 2022 NFL season. I know, I’m sad too! But let’s make the most of this 2-game Tiers slate!
Note: I’m adding a Contranian category for each. This means it’s probably not as optimal but you could get huge ownership leverage. I would only play one or two contrarian plays for each contest.
Also note that in Tiers 1-3, you could really make a case for all the players. In Tiers 4-6, I think some players stand out more. So use this as a guide, but if you have a good read or gut feel on a certain player in Tiers 1-3, go with it!
