With season-long Fantasy leagues long finished, Super Bowl 59 is an extremely popular event for daily Fantasy players on sites like FanDuel and DraftKings. Chiefs vs. Eagles at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, Feb. 9, will bring plenty of options for this single-game NFL DFS player pool. Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Jalen Hurts are some of the headliners to consider for Super Bowl NFL DFS lineups. However, the daily Fantasy players who ultimately cash in big tournaments will need to hit on some NFL DFS sleeper picks from lesser-known players such as Kenneth Gainwell or JuJu Smith-Schuster. What is the right balance of stars and value players for 2025 Super Bowl NFL DFS lineups? Before making any NFL DFS picks for Super Bowl 59 on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel, be sure to check out the NFL DFS lineup advice, strategy and player stacks from SportsLine NFL daily Fantasy expert Jimmie Kaylor.Â
Kaylor is a NFL and DFS expert for SportsLine, who opened the 2022 NFL season by winning DraftKings’ NFL Showdown Thursday Kickoff Millionaire contest. He edged out over 355,000 other entrants in the contest and also has multiple five-figure tournament wins on his DFS resume. Kaylor, who cashed big all season in 2022, has covered the NFL and college football for close to a decade as a member of the Pro Football Writers of America, and his background as a former college and NFL player gives him a unique perspective when building his fantasy lineups and locking in his betting picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel.
Kaylor has hit on epic NFL DFS picks for SportsLine members. He was all over slate-breaking performances like Travis Kelce’s (7-25-4), Kirk Cousins (460-4), T.J. Hockenson’s (13-109-2), Ja’Marr Chase’s (15-1923), D.J. Moore’s (8-230-3), and De’Von Achane (233 total yards, four TDs). This season, some of Kaylor’s top picks include Green Bay wide receiver Jayden Reed (4-138-1, 33-1) and James Cook (78-2). This postseason, he was all over slate-breaking efforts from Ravens running back Derrick Henry (186-2) and Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey (9-197-1). Anyone who followed his picks on sites like DraftKings and FanDuel could be way up.
Now, Kaylor has turned his attention to the Super Bowl LIX matchup of Chiefs vs. Eagles and just locked in his top daily Fantasy football picks. You can only see his Super Bowl picks and analysis at SportsLine.
Top NFL DFS picks, lineups, player stacks for Eagles vs. Chiefs
One of Kaylor’s top DFS picks for Super Bowl 59 is Eagles running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley has been spectacular for the Eagles all season long. He led the NFL with 2,005 rushing yards during the regular season, which helped him win NFL Offensive Player of the Year.Â
Barkley is averaging 147.3 rushing yards across three games in the 2025 NFL playoffs and has scored five rushing touchdowns in the postseason. He’ll remain a focal point of Philadelphia’s offense when the Eagles take on the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Kansas City’s defense gave up 85 rushing yards on just 13 carries and two rushing touchdowns to Bills running back James Cook in the AFC Championship Game, and Kaylor expects another heavy workload for Barkley in Super Bowl LIX. See who else to roster right here.
Part of Kaylor’s optimal Super Bowl NFL DFS strategy also includes rostering Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The 29-year-old signal caller has quickly made his mark on the sport, reaching the Super Bowl for the fifth time in his seven years as the Chiefs’ starting quarterback. He owns a 3-1 Super Bowl record thus far, and has won Super Bowl MVP honors in all three of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victories with him as their starter.
Mahomes has proven to be at his best on the game’s biggest stages. When Kansas City defeated Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII two years ago, the former Texas Tech standout threw for 182 yards and three touchdowns, in addition to rushing for 44 yards on six carries. With a plethora of weapons at his disposal, and a willingness to do whatever it takes to win, Kaylor expects another big-time Super Bowl performance from Mahomes on Sunday. You can see the rest of Kaylor’s NFL DFS picks here.
