DraftKings Tiers Core Plays – 4-Game Slate
January 20, 2023

We have two shots at Tiers contests for Wildcard Weekend! Below are my core plays for the full 4-game 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. But if you need to make pivots for the late game, these may give options.
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!
