Sleeper Fantasy NFL Picks & Predictions | Lions-49ers

If you’re only familiar with Sleeper Fantasy’s season-long fantasy leagues, you need to give their pick’em contests a shot. They are challenging, but they are also lucrative with their real cash rewards. Like most pick’em apps, the job is to predict whether a player will surpass or fall short of Sleeper’s projection. However, Sleeper is different in that each correct pick comes with its own payout multiplier. The more accurate picks you make, the larger the cash prize, providing an opportunity to earn up to 100 times your initial investment!

Purdy’s original Sleeper projection of 276.5 is awfully high given Purdy averaged 267.5 yards passing per game during the regular season. And though Stokastic has him at 280.2 yards today — which leads all quarterback projections — it’s nice that we do not have to think too hard about a quarterback’s production in an outdoor game in January (even if the Santa Clara forecast looks friendly). All we need to do is lock in Purdy’s pick on sale and take the more on 0.5 passing yards.

Now, in order to get the most out of this special, we need to make sure to build a quality entry — that means at least one more pick, and it has to be a Lions player. Let’s turn to Stokastic’s NFL Bet Pro to find the best Sleeper play available.

Currently the best Lions pick available is Jahmyr Gibbs less than 49.5 rushing yards. Stokastic’s expects this to be close — projecting Gibbs for 49.36 yards on the ground — but the less has a 52% win expectancy and the 1.82x multiplier is excellent. Paired with the 1.77x multiplier the Purdy free square gives us, our total entry pays out 3.22x.

If you want to boost your payout potential even more, keep adding picks! You will get better acquainted with Sleeper’s payout structure and strategy for building +EV plays as you get more involved, and if you’re looking for more Sleeper promos, check out Stokastic’s breakdown of everything they offer here!
