150-Max Entry Lineup
– Captain: Mike Davis ($5,700) – Patrick Mahomes ($12,000) – Russell Wilson ($10,400) – Tyreek Hill ($10,200) – Damien Williams ($7,000) – Demarcus Robinson ($4,200) I'll start with the 150-max lineup where I left off with the optimal, which is a focus on the Chiefs side. For starters, I always recommend using players with high ceilings who also have a bit more risk as well. In games like these, it's going to take a well-rounded lineup build and a bit of luck to pull off the huge win. That's why targeting and stacking players like Patrick Mahomes and Tyreek Hill is so important. The fact that Hill was held somewhat in check against the Los Angeles Chargers last week (41 receiving yards) makes him even more appealing to me. The Seahawks don't have a player capable of keeping up with Hill's elite speed and he should get loose over the top often. For good measure, it's not as though the Seahawks have been elite against opposing wideouts. They've allowed 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns this season to the position, which bodes incredibly well for Hill. Mahomes has arguably the highest floor and ceiling on this entire slate, so rolling with him a fair amount makes sense. Demarcus Robinson is another Chiefs player worth mentioning for a few reasons. While he caught a touchdown last week, many were concerned over the fact that Kelvin Benjamin was in the mix. Although Robinson, along with likely Chris Conley will see a slight decline in work moving forward, I'll happily take the low ownership of Robinson this week. It's a good matchup and we saw the Chiefs young wideout play 60 percent of the offensive snaps last week, per Football Outsiders. I expect him to hang around the 60-70 percent mark moving forward, and that's appealing enough for this price on a showdown slate.Mike Davis
I do think Mike Davis will have decent ownership, but not to the point where it'll keep me from playing him, especially not in 150-max games. His expected targets and likely number of catches makes him an appealing target in this game. The idea behind using him in the captain spot is where I'm going to try to be different. There's going to be ownership in Davis without question, but I don't envision many opting to put him in the top spot. In turn, if he hits, we're in a great spot. Next up is the single entry/cash lineup which is far more balanced. It's better for players who are playing events which won't feature people throwing in 50-100 random lineups with all groups of players.Two NFC teams in the middle of the wild card hunt prepare to battle on Monday Night Football as Kirk Cousins leads the Minnesota Vikings (6-5-1) into CenturyLink Field to take on MVP candidate Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks (7-5) as Week 14 action concludes.

Preview
The Seahawks have won three straight games to push themselves into a lead as the No. 5 seed in the playoff race. The Vikings, who have alternated wins and losses in their past five games, sit right behind the Seahawks, and are looking to hold off the other teams remaining in the hunt.
Cousins knows there remains the stigma about him playing in primetime games, and told reporters Thursday the team needs to finish strong. The Vikings also are aware they need to finish well to secure consecutive playoff berths for the first time in almost eight seasons.
“Which means all of the work we did through OTAs, training camp, preseason, regular season, it comes down to four games. It comes down to other teams are in the hunt, other teams are fighting for their division title and whoever has the best four-game stretch. It doesn’t really matter what happened before.”
Seattle will be without Doug Baldwin, who has been ruled out with a hip injury after not being able to practice all week. Wilson will rely on Tyler Lockett to step up and play in Baldwin’s No. 1 role against Minnesota.
Unlike Seattle, Minnesota avoided the injury bug. Both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Xavier Rhodes (hamstring) are active after there were rumblings each could have been held out.
