Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Plus Prop Bets – Conference Championship

Daily Fantasy Football Picks for FanDuel and DraftKings Plus Prop Bets - Conference Championship This is shaping up to be an almost historic weak of offense for the Conference Championship. We have two games with 56 over/unders on the road to the Super Bowl. There are almost too many great plays. Let's take a look at some of the DFS targets as well as some potential prop bets. New England Patriots (+3) vs. Kansas Chiefs (-3) Patrick Mahomes FD 9000 DK 6600 Opponent NE Proj Points FD - 25.37 DK - 26.95 Once again he’s the highest projected fantasy quarterback and it isn’t particularly close. Mahomes didn’t let the stage of his first ever playoff games affect him in the Divisional Round against the Colts. He completed 27-41 passes (66%) and threw for 278 yards. The Chiefs had the game completely under control early (up 24-7 at half) and didn’t need to press Mahomes much. He did scramble for a touchdown which helped save some of his day considering he didn’t throw for any touchdowns. Too long, rushing TDs early put the game almost out of reach. Figuring the Patriots will be able to hang a little more on Sunday will have Mahomes in play as the cash game quarterback even at his elevated price points. Prop Bets Patrick Mahomes Over 308.5 Passing Yards Patrick Mahomes Over 13.5 Rushing Yards   Damien Williams FD 7200 DK 6400 Opponent NE Proj Points FD - 17.26 DK - 19.58 Spencer Ware ended up inactive for the Divisional Round, putting the RB1 duties once again squarely on Damien Williams’ shoulders. I suspected Williams would have gotten all the run even if Ware had been active, but that ended up not being a concern. Things should remain that way this week against the Patriots. Williams played 65 snaps on Sunday and finished with 25/129/1 on the ground and another 5/25 through the air on six targets. This is elite usage and, at this point, he’s almost a game script independent running back. If they get out to a lead he should rack up the carries, but he’s so active in the passing game that he’s getting snaps regardless. Prop bets Damien Williams Rushing Yards Over 64.5 Damien Williams Receiving Yards Over 31.5   Sammy Watkins FD 5600 DK 4000 Opponent NE Proj Points FD - 11.14 DK - 13.04 Watkins represents about as close to a *value* receiver as you’ll find on this two-game slate. He saw eight targets last week after finally returning from the injury that kept him out about a month. Watkins looked no worse for wear and finished with six catches for 62 yards.
