Super Bowl LX is set to kick off from Levi’s Stadium on Sunday night. The New England Patriots remain +4.5 point underdogs against the Seattle Seahawks, while the point total has dropped to 45.5 with two of the league’s top-five scoring defenses featured in this matchup.
NFL DFS contests feature a 1.5x MVP position this week, which will be a crucial factor in deciding production in lineups. With only two teams available, salaries are elevated, so opting to roster players with cheap salaries is a way to beat other lineups that target more popular prospects.

We’re going to tap Drake Maye for our NFL MVP 1.5x position. This will likely be a popular pick, however, Maye’s rushing ability pushes him into a high floor for production, while also making minimal mistakes.
Maye is averaging 17.5 fantasy points per game in the playoffs. He’ll have a tough task against Seattle’s top-ranked scoring defense, yet Maye can finish drives with his legs when called upon.
We’re going to stack Maye with two receivers, WR Mack Hollins and TE Hunter Henry. Hollins returned to the lineup from injury in the AFC Championship Game, making an impact on limited targets.
Hollins caught both of his targets for 51 yards, including a 31-yard reception against a tough Broncos secondary. In the regular season, Hollins had five starts with at least six targets since Week 8, logging double-digit production in three of those starts.
Hunter Henry will be a more popular prospect in DFS lineups than Hollins. However, we’ve seen Maye look to his TE1 on numerous occasions, logging 6-81-1 in three playoff games, averaging 6.7 fantasy points per game.
Henry has been quiet since a dominant Wild Card performance. It’s time for him to return to form, especially against a Seahawks defense that ranks as a top-ten fantasy tight end matchup.
Let’s pivot to Seattle’s offense. We’re going to deploy a triple stack of Sam Darnold-Cooper Kupp-AJ Barner.
Kenneth Walker has been the motor driving Seattle’s offense in the playoffs. However, New England has been a difficult run defense to navigate, holding opponents under 90 rushing yards in all three playoff wins.
Darnold will inevitably have to make some big plays with his arm to move Seattle into scoring position. This is where Cooper Kupp and AJ Barner come into play.
Kupp’s role in the passing attack has increased since Seattle’s playoff run began. Kupp is averaging 12.3 fantasy points per game in the postseason, hauling in nine receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets.
Darnold will continue to look Kupp’s direction with star wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba blanketed by New England’s secondary. Let’s lock in Seattle’s WR2 with QB1.
Finally, we’re going to go out on a limb and plug TE AJ Barner in at a discount. Barner has been limited during the playoffs, hauling in only two receptions for 13 yards. He had one carry and zero targets against San Francisco in the NFC Divisional Round win.
So why Barner? In the regular season, Seattle’s second-year tight end had huge ceiling games. Barner logged double-digit fantasy production in seven starts. This includes seven total touchdowns.
New England’s defense is stout, so the Seahawks will need to get creative and find other ways to move the football and finish drives without Walker and Smith-Njigba. That’s where Barner comes into play.
Standing at 6-6, Barner offers a massive target and is a strong security blanket for Darnold under duress. Let’s pounce on Barner at a value for our final player in this Seahawks stack for Super Bowl LX.
