Winning a DFS tournament while competing in a field of 100,000 entrants is an outrageous task. The best way to tilt the odds in your favor is to play into the chaos of the NFL week. Profit disproportionately when things don’t go as planned.

Here are four ways to build that kind of leverage into your lineups for Week 17.

Stack the Buffalo Bills

The Bills are one of the teams with something to play for in Week 17, albeit not much. They can improve from the No. 3 to the No. 2 seed with a win or a Pittsburgh loss. There are no notions of starters resting for Buffalo yet, so expect to see them open the game with Josh Allen under center.
