SuperDraft is one of the hottest platforms in the market for DFS players. SuperDraft offers a unique twist on your traditional DFS experience with game modes like “Multiplier” and “Super 15.”

By eliminating the traditional salary cap structure and providing a points multiplier for every player on the slate, there is almost limitless flexibility when building lineups on SuperDraft. You can load up on all the studs, but their point multipliers will be low. You can balance those plays out with some long shots who could score up to 2x their fantasy points to vault you to the top of the leaderboards.

If you haven’t played at SuperDraft yet, new users can get an instant $100 match with promo code “FTN” by following these steps.

  1. Sign up at SuperDraft.
  2. Enter the promo code “FTN.”
  3. Provide your credentials to register.
  4. By using the “FTN” promo code when depositing, you will get a $100 match instantly of any deposit of $100 or more.
  5. Use this $200 worth of SuperDraft balance to fund your account and be playing in the lobbies.

This is the best promo code you can find, so be sure to use “FTN” and you will essentially double your deposit at SuperDraft. Then come back to FTNDaily and check out our daily SuperDraft content.

Similar to what has been provided in past weeks, here are three plays I will anchor my SuperDraft DFS lineups around. While there are typically five plays, I will provide three plays per week and add an “others to consider” section full of the players who round out the vast majority of my player pool.

This gives you the ability to lock in the key three and fill in around it. Below are my top three options for Week 18’s Sunday main slate.

 

 

AJ Dillon, RB, Green Bay Packers (@ DET)

Score multiplier: 1.45x

The Packers have secured both the NFC North as well as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, giving them very little motivation to trot their starters out for a full four quarters. While AJ Dillon has been a fixture in this offense this season, he’s still the RB2 and one that is in line for an expanded workload should Aaron Jones take a seat early Sunday.

A matchup with the Lions always bodes well for opposing running backs, as they’ve allowed the third-most yards after contact this season, something that Dillon excels in between the tackles. 

Others to consider: Jonathan Taylor (1x), Rashaad Penny (1.25x), Sony Michel (1.3x), Rhamondre Stevenson (1.4x), Ke’Shawn Vaughn (1.75x)

Diontae Johnson, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers (@ BAL)

Score multiplier: 1.35x

After their Monday night win over the Browns, the Steelers still have an outside shot at a playoff spot, giving them more than enough motivation to roll out their starters in Week 18. With that in mind, Diontae Johnson sticks out as an elite option at 1.35x against a brutal secondary.

Given the injuries that the Ravens’ secondary has dealt with this season, that’s been the primary way for offenses to exploit the defense. They’ve allowed the most total passing yards (4,742) on the season, the second-most passing touchdowns (30), the second-most yards after contact (2,479) and an average depth of target over 8.5 yards. Given the decline we’ve seen in Ben Roethlisberger, expectations should still be tempered, but this is a matchup to take advantage of and doing so via the volume that Johnson is slated to see is a winning strategy.

Others to consider: Deebo Samuel (1.1x), Amon-Ra St. Brown (1.2x), Mike Evans (1.25x), Michael Pittman (1.35x), Marquise Brown (1.4x), Chase Claypool (1.45x), Allen Lazard (1.5x), Tyler Johnson (1.6x)

Mark Andrews, TE, Baltimore Ravens (vs. PIT)

Score multiplier: 1x

With something to play for in Week 18, the Ravens skill position players are likely going to play a full workload as long as the game doesn’t get out of hand. With Tyler Huntley likely drawing the start at QB, my attention is squarely on Mark Andrews.

Using the FTNDaily Splits Tool, Andrews’ production has been nothing short of elite with Huntley at QB:

Averaging 10 targets and over 100 yards per game when Huntley starts, the fact that Andrews comes in without a multiplier is mitigated by the elite production we’re expecting. He’s my TE1 on the slate and one that I plan on using as a fixture with Huntley in my main SuperDraft lineup.

Others to considerRob Gronkowski (1.1x), Zach Ertz (1.35x), Cole Kmet (1.55x)
