Millions of individuals will be placing bets on the Super Bowl this Sunday, while many others will be participating in daily fantasy contests on DraftKings and FanDuel. These contests can be challenging due to the limited player pool, but they offer a great opportunity to get involved, especially if you’re not in a state where sports betting is legal.
Looking ahead to Super Bowl LVIII between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs, we have provided the salaries for every relevant player, with a minimum of $400, as well as five of our top picks.
Please see below for our recommended players to consider for your lineup:

If you choose Mahomes as your captain, his salary will increase to $15,900, which is a significant amount. However, he is more likely to have a standout performance compared to Brock Purdy, who will be facing a tougher defense in the Chiefs.
Unlike the Chiefs, the 49ers do not have a running back like Christian McCaffrey, who often steals touchdown opportunities from the quarterback by rushing for six points.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is a great value at $9,200 due to his versatility. In the NFC title game against the Lions, he caught eight passes for 89 yards and carried the ball three times. He is a constant threat to score whenever he touches the ball and, as a slot/gadget player, the 49ers will find ways to involve him against the strong Chiefs defense.
If the 49ers manage to contain Mahomes and the passing game, the Chiefs may rely on Pacheco and their rushing attack. The 49ers defense ranked 14th in rushing yards allowed per attempt, indicating that they are not particularly dominant against the run. This could provide an opportunity for Pacheco to have a standout performance.
When things don’t go well for Purdy, they tend to unravel quickly. He has thrown interceptions in seven games this season, with three of them resulting in multiple picks. The Chiefs defense is exceptional, especially against the pass, and Chris Jones could deliver a strong performance on the interior.
MVS has shown promise in the Chiefs’ last two playoff games, catching four passes for 100 yards. This suggests that he may be hitting his stride at the right time for Kansas City. If the 49ers focus their attention on Travis Kelce and Rashee Rice, it could create opportunities for Valdes-Scantling down the field.
Considering his low salary, we only need one or two long catches, preferably a touchdown, for this pick to be a worthwhile addition to your lineup.
