NFL Podcast – Divisional Round Game-by-game Breakdown for FanDuel and DraftKings
NFL Podcast - Divisional Round Game-by-game Breakdown for FanDuel and DraftKings DFSR’s Doug Norrie and James Davis take to the NFL podcast discussing a weekend of Divisional Round playoff games for FanDuel and DraftKings. There’s a lot to like about both the Saturday and Sunday slates from a fantasy perspective. The guys go game-by-game looking at some of the cash game considerations. They debate Todd Gurley vs. Ezekiel Elliott at the top tier of running back on Saturday. They also look at the Rams’ pass-catching corps and the idea of possible stacking some Cowboys in the same game. Clearly Patrick Mahomes is the top quarterback option for the weekend, but can you fade him in favor of someone like Andrew Luck for cheaper? They also make sense of the Eagles and Nick Foles, how to project the Patriots and much more. Subscribe to this podcast on...

We've got you completely covered. Indianapolis Colts (5.5) vs. Kansas Chiefs (-5.5) Patrick Mahomes FD 9000 DK 7000 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 25.91 DK - 27.26 It doesn’t take much in the way of analytics to see that Mahomes is the top overall quarterback for the Divisional round of games. After all, this guy finished as the number one fantasy quarterback on the season by a wide margin. That’s what 5,000+ passing yards and 50 touchdowns will get you. He was on another level and will have a chance to continue the breakout season on Saturday against the Colts. The Chiefs come in with the highest implied total (31) though Vegas does see Indy somewhat hanging here. Though he’s the most expensive quarterback on the weekend, it’s worth paying up for Mahomes in cash games on both sites. We currently have him projected around 24% higher than the next closest QBs (Goff and Luck). This doesn’t strike me as a fade opportunity in cash games considering how much KC relies on the pass and just how head and shoulders above Mahomes is than the rest of the field. Damien Williams FD 6100 DK 5100 Opponent IND Proj Points FD - 13.61 DK - 15.2 Spencer Ware has returned to practice this week, but at this point, I’m hard-pressed to see why the Chiefs would get away from how they’ve been using Damien Williams. Over the final three weeks of the season, with Ware on the shelf (and Kareem Hunt out of the picture) Williams has been superb. He’s carried the ball 34 times for 203 yards (5.97 YPC) and caught 14 balls for 119 yards. He’s basically been the perfect running back for this offense and I don’t know why the Chiefs would go away from something that’s working well. So while bringing Ware back does crowd the backfield, I’m counting on Williams retaining the bulk of the workload on...
