Are you a fantasy football enthusiast looking to win big this season? Well, you’re in luck! NBC Sports and Yahoo Fantasy have teamed up to offer a chance to win $1 million in a first-of-its-kind fantasy football sweepstakes. All you have to do is draft players from the Week 1 primetime matchups and watch them score touchdowns to earn free entries into the sweepstakes. That’s one entry per touchdown, so the more players you have scoring, the better your chances.
The season-opening primetime games, presented by NBC Sports and Peacock, include the following matchups:
– Thursday, Sept. 5, 8:20 pm ET: Baltimore Ravens at Kansas City Chiefs (NBC and Peacock)
– Friday, Sept. 6, 8:15pm ET: Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles (Peacock)
– Sunday, Sept. 8, 8:20pm ET: Los Angeles Rams at Detroit Lions (NBC and Peacock)
While bonus entries can be earned across multiple Yahoo leagues and teams, there is a limit of one bonus entry per player per touchdown. This means that even if you have a player on multiple fantasy teams, they will only earn one bonus entry per touchdown scored. The total limit for entries per person is eight.
To increase your chances of winning, consider targeting running backs with locked-in goal line work. Players like Derrick Henry, Isiah Pacheco, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery could be solid options to score touchdowns in Week 1. Additionally, stacking players from high-scoring offenses like the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Green Bay Packers, and Los Angeles Rams could give you an edge in the contest.
If you’re looking for some specific player recommendations, consider a Mahomes-based stack with players like Travis Kelce, Xavier Worthy, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith. Other potential stacks include Jordan Love and Romeo Dobbs from the Green Bay Packers, Jared Goff with Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta from the Detroit Lions, and Matthew Stafford with Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp from the Los Angeles Rams.
By strategically selecting players and stacking key components from high-scoring teams, you could maximize your chances of winning the $1 million prize in the NBC Sports and Yahoo Fantasy sweepstakes. So, get ready to draft your fantasy team and tune in to the exciting Week 1 primetime matchups for a shot at the big prize!
