Divisional round time. Last week we saw plenty of upsets on the playing field. Last week of the value plays for the season (don’t cry). I hope you found this helpful and brought you some winnings!
Please note, a ton can (and will) change between article posting and kickoff, follow me on Twitter for all my thoughts on additional value coming and going before lineups lock.
QUARTERBACK
Jimmy Garoppolo ($5,600) San Francisco vs. Minnesota Vikings
If you crave value at QB, you have three choices in Cousins, Jimmy, or Tannehill. Its no secret Jimmy G is in the best spot of the bunch as he is playing a super soft pass defense. The only risk is the running game stealing all the touchdowns and this turns into a grind out game in the 2nd half.
RUNNING BACK
Carlos Hyde ($5,000), Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs:
If Mark Ingram gets ruled out, that dramatically changes things, but I do anticipate him suiting up even at less than 100%. When these two teams met back in October, Hyde rumbled for 100+ yards and a score. The best way to attack this defense (and avoid the offense) is to run directly at them so I expect Houston to go back to this well once again.
WIDE RECEIVER
Allen Lazard ($4,500) Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks:
TIGHT END
Darren Fells ($3,500), Houston Texans at Kansas City Chiefs:
DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS
Green Bay Packers ($2,800) vs. Seattle Seahawks
Seahawks give up a ton of sacks as Wilson tries to create with his legs. It’s feast or famine on a lot of his plays. I expect the Seahawks to have to pass more than they like in this spot which opens up Green Bay to more opportunities to get to the QB and cause havoc.
