The Super Bowl is finally here, but that means there is only one opportunity left for fantasy football enthusiasts to take part in single-game DFS contests. Patrick Mahomes is going for his third Lombardi Trophy. Meanwhile, Brock Purdy is looking to supplant himself as Mr. Relevant with his first Lombardi Trophy.
However, this 49ers-Chiefs contest features plenty of big-name fantasy superstars outside of just the signal-callers. As always, the superstars carry hefty price tags, so we'll have to dive deep into this slate. The 49ers sit as a two-point favorite and the projected point total is currently 47.0. Ultimately, it's expected to be a nail-biter with plenty of scoring, a perfect scenario for a fun final DFS tournament.
I will be providing you with daily fantasy football picks on DraftKings for the 49ers vs. Chiefs NFL DFS showdown slate on February 11. You can see our FanDuel Super Bowl NFL DFS picks as well.

Captain Plays
Patrick Mahomes - QB, $15,900
It only makes sense to start with Patrick Mahomes in the captain spot. He has thrown four touchdowns and zero interceptions thus far in the playoffs. He has also averaged 25 rushing yards per game thus far in the playoffs. He will be up against a 49ers defense that allowed an average of over 232 passing yards per game to the quarterback position during the regular season. The fact that Kansas City is also a slight underdog in this game could lead to more passing from Mahomes as well.
Christian McCaffrey - RB, $18,000
This has become a popular play in a lot of circles and comes with good reason. McCaffrey has rushed for more than 90 yards in eight of his previous 10 games, including two weeks ago against the Lions in the NFC Championship. He has also averaged over 17 carries per game across his previous 10 games.
The matchup against the Chiefs is a solid one as well. Throughout the regular season, Kansas City allowed an average of 4.6 yards per carry to the running back position. The fact that San Francisco is slightly favored in this game could also increase the volume for McCaffrey down the stretch to help salt this game away.

DFS Flex Plays
Isiah Pacheco- RB, $8,000
Normally, I would not want to pick a running back against this 49ers defense; however, recency bias has gotten the best of me here with Isiah Pacheco. Over the previous two weeks, the 49ers have allowed a total of 262 rushing yards to the running back position. In the Divisional Round, Aaron Jones burned them for 108 yards on 18 carries. Then, in the NFC Championship, Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery combined for a total of 138 rushing yards on 27 carries. This has not been the same 49ers defense and Kansas City could make them pay here.
Over the previous four games, Pacheco has averaged over 20 carries per game and 96 rushing yards per game. This Chiefs offense has built itself around their defense and rushing attack in recent weeks and that is likely the route they take in this game as strange as that may seem.
Travis Kelce - TE, $10,200
Travis Kelce has been an animal thus far in the playoffs as he has totaled 23 receptions for 262 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He has also seen a total of 27 targets, so he figures to be heavily involved yet again. Just two weeks ago, San Francisco allowed Sam LaPorta to torch them for nine receptions and 97 receiving yards, so they can certainly get beat by the tight end position.
Other Flex Options: Rashee Rice, Brock Purdy, Brandon Aiyuk
DFS Value Plays
Harrison Butker - K, $5,000
This is a fun play. Butker has made two or more field goals in six of his previous nine games dating back to Week 13 at Green Bay. This 49ers defense has mostly been a bend-and-not-break defense as well, which tells me the Chiefs are likely to find some drives that land in San Francisco territory but do not end up in the end zone. Butker should get plenty of opportunities in the dome and has been deadly accurate on the season as he went 33-of-35 on field goal attempts.
Kyle Juszczyk- RB, $800
We are going way down in the player pool for this one to save money for other spots. Juszczyk could be a nice play, especially if he hauls in a couple of passes and definitely if he finds the end zone. In the playoffs, he has seen three targets, all of which came in the NFC Championship against the Lions. I have heard several pundits say they like him to get involved early in the short passing game as it could help ease Brock Purdy into the flow of the game. If so, we would return value on this play rather quickly. He has also found the end zone twice this season, both times through the air.
Other Value Plays: Kadarius Toney, Jauan Jennings, Elijah Mitchell
