Welcome to our new series covering RIVAL Fantasy Bingo picks for NFL Wild Card Weekend! We will be covering how to play and the strategies to win.
Fantasy Bingo is a spin on the classic game Bingo but the goal is to match achievements, not numbers. You will build a DFS lineup for the weekly games to unlock the achievements and fill in those squares. You can win by getting five in a row, all four corners, or an entire card blackout.
The prize pool for the weekly slate is distributed among all of the winning cards. They are broken down in two ways. 56% of the prize pool to cards that have five in a row -- vertically, horizontally, and diagonally. 44% of the prize pool is for cards that just cover the four corners. Also, the prize pool gets larger as more bingo cards are entered. You can have up to 100 max cards all with different lineups created. Check here for the updated rules and scoring.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Strategy
With setting a lineup to similar DFS Apps, stacking is the way to go. You would want to have your choice of quarterback paired with one to two pass-catchers. For example: Brock Purdy paired with Christian McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk. Two high-usage weapons for Purdy. You can always run it back with one pass-catching player from the opposing team or just keep your stack naked.
Now, what to do with the other roster spots to fill? One way to go since there is no salary cap for the lineups on RIVAL Fantasy is to target the players with high usage rates. RIVAL Fantasy Bingo is all about achievements and players who can hit multiple in a game. We want to use players who can do it all.
Kickers are players too and they are on the Fantasy Bingo Cards. Not every card will be positive for them though. Your card may have a kicker that needs to miss three field goals during a game. You just won't know until your card is generated after your lineup is submitted. That is the tricky part.

RIVAL Fantasy Bingo Picks
CeeDee Lamb comes into the weekend as the highest-projected receiver with a projection of 8.5 receptions for 102.1 receiving yards and 0.7 touchdowns. Lamb and the Dallas Cowboys will be facing off versus the Green Bay Packers, who rank 12th against receivers. While Green Bay is coming into Dallas with some momentum, the home and away splits for the Cowboys are amazing. At home, they are 8-0 and are averaging 37.4 points per game while allowing opposing teams just 15.9. This gives CeeDee Lamb a nice boost.
Lamb is currently holding a 30% target share with a 91% routes ran share. On the season, he held an 82% catchable target rate and has made the most out of every target he gets. He has four touchdowns in his last three games and has at least scored once in eight of his last 10 games. He is a must-have player for this weekend's Wild Card action and the weather shouldn't be as bad as it is in Buffalo or Kansas City.
If you're playing CeeDee Lamb, then you must pair him with Dak Prescott. The matchup is screaming for the pairing. The Dallas Cowboys rank first in points per game and fifth for total yards, while Green Bay ranks 17th. Prescott has been a consistent quarterback this season and his projection for the matchup backs it. He is projected to throw for 254.5 yards and 2.1 touchdowns, making him the second-highest projected quarterback. He finished the regular season strong as he threw for eight touchdowns and two interceptions in the last three games. Prescott also closed the season on a high note with four touchdowns versus the Washington Commanders.
De'Von Achane's exposure may rely on whether Raheem Mostert will play Saturday. If he is ruled out, De'Von Achane should be used in almost every lineup. With the temperatures feeling close to -30 degrees in Kansas City, expect both offenses to run heavy to start the game off. In the final two weeks of the season and without Mostert, Achane held a 59% and 50% rush attempt share. He controlled the backfield over Jeff Wilson Jr. Achane also held the majority of the targets per route ran in those two weeks with 14% and 8%.
De'Von Achane will have a tough task as Kansas City ranks 10th when it comes to stopping the run. Currently, with a low projection line that includes Mostert playing, Achane should still have an upside on Saturday. Overall, Kyren Williams, Rachaad White, and even James Cook will be heavier targets for others to use in their lineups, leaving Achane to go under-owned.
