Wildcard weekend is here, and the DFSR team has you covered with all you need to know for FanDuel and DraftKings this weekend.

James and Doug break each game down in terms of its relevant DFS plays and injury news, emphasizing the difference between playing the single day slates and the full weekend slates.

Saturday's slate is a weird one that features a lot of tough defenses, and a truly bad DFS offense in the Patriots. At the end of the day it might come down to trying to find good playable options at every position rather than forming a typical "stars and scrubs" lineup we get used to during the regular season. Can you pay up for Derrick Henry? Which of the QB-WR pairs look the safest for cash games? Doug and James break it all down.

Sunday's slate features more conventional great DFS plays, with the Saints' big two in Kamara and Thomas serving as headliners. It also has some nice cheap options availing themselves thanks to Chris Carson being ruled out and the Eagles dealing with a number of skill position injuries. You're going to have to monitor this situation very closely, though, because if you leave yourself in a position with questionable players leading into the 4:35pm game you could have very little flexibility in terms of making your swaps.
