DraftKings Daily Fantasy Football Lineup Picks (Divisional Round): NFL DFS Advice

Welcome to RotoBaller's Daily Fantasy football DraftKings lineup picks for the Divisional Round of the NFL season. In this article, I, Jason Bales, will be taking you, the reader, through the best DraftKings DFS plays of the week for this upcoming Sunday.

These DraftKings lineup recommendations are based on matchups, recent performances, overall upside/talent levels, and other factors such as Vegas odds, home field advantage, and more. There are still quite a few great value plays available, so read on to find out which players are the best for the Divisional Round. Good luck with your DraftKings DFS lineups!

Some of our readers like more traditional sports betting as well. If you are one of those, then here is a link to learn about some best rated Canadian online sports betting sites. You will find FAQ, general information, and site reviews for different sports. 

 

DraftKings Quarterbacks - Divisional Round DFS Picks

Aaron Rodgers (at DAL, $8,200)

The Dallas Cowboys have a decent defense, but that does not matter to Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the Green Bay Packers offense. The New York Giants have one of the best defenses in the league, and Rodgers threw for four touchdowns and over 350 yards against them. He is a great playoff quarterback, and he is not going to back down this week against the team with the best record in football. The Packers are hot right now, and Rodgers has over 30 fantasy points in three consecutive games now. Forget about his high price tag; roster him in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Dak Prescott (vs GB, $6,000) 

Dak Prescott took a nice, long break, and he should be well-rested and ready to play this week against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are likely the worst defensive team left in the playoffs, and the Dallas Cowboys will need to take advantage of that, if they want to pick up a victory over Aaron Rodgers and company. Prescott has played well all season, and he has the added ability of picking up rushing touchdowns. Pairing the Cowboys' star rookie quarterback with a wide receiver like Terrance Williams is a great strategy in tournaments. Aaron Rodgers is clearly the best cash game quarterback, along with Davante Adams at wide receiver, assuming Jordy Nelson is out.

 

DraftKings Running Backs - Divisional Round DFS Picks

Le'Veon Bell (at KC, $10,500)

Le'Veon Bell recently stated that he is changing the game of football in the same way that Stephen Curry changed the game of basketball. If that holds true, David Johnson will likely sign with the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. All kidding aside, Bell is actually changing the game of football. He is an elite-level running back and a fantastic wide receiver. In his first playoff game this season, he posted over 30 fantasy points, scoring twice and rushing for over 150 yards. He should see similar results this week against the Kansas City Chiefs. There is simply no reason to avoid Bell. Roster him in all leagues.

Devonta Freeman (vs SEA, $5,900)

Devonta Freeman is a very high-upside tournament option this week against the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks are a solid defense, but Freeman has over 15 fantasy points in three straight games, over 25 fantasy points in two of his last three contests, and over 35 fantasy points once in those last three games. Against the Carolina Panthers, he caught eight passes on eight targets. The next week, he caught five passes on five targets. Freeman is a big part of the Atlanta Hawks passing attack, and he has just under 300 yards in his last three games on the ground. He is not consistent enough for 50/50 contests, but he is the best tournament option on the board.

 

DraftKings Wide Receivers - Divisional Round DFS Picks

Davante Adams (at DAL, $7,000)

Jordy Nelson suffered at least two broken ribs last Sunday against the New York Giants, and it would be a miracle if he plays this week against the Dallas Cowboys. Geronimo Allison and Jeff Janis are very likely to see more time on the field, but Davante Adams is going to benefit the most from Nelson's injury. In the red zone, Rodgers is going to look toward Adams. With over 20 fantasy points in two straight games now, it should be obvious that Adams is a huge part of the Packers offense. He is seeing double-digit targets per game on average over his last two contests, and those numbers will be even higher with Nelson out. Roster him in all leagues.

Terrance Williams (vs GB, $3,100)

Terrance Williams is very cheap this week against the Green Bay Packers. This should turn into a rather high-scoring game, as the Packers struggle defensively, and the Dallas Cowboys are going to have to score to keep pace with Aaron Rodgers and company. In his last four games, Williams has over 10 fantasy points in three of them. He has been playing well of recent, and he should continue to do so in the playoffs this week. For his price tag, he is worth consideration in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. Rostering Williams will open up salary cap for players like Aaron Rodgers and Le'Veon Bell.

 

DraftKings Tight Ends - Divisional Round Picks

Jimmy Graham (at ATL, $4,900)

Travis Kelce is the most talented tight end option this week, but Jimmy Graham is the better option in tournaments. The Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons game could turn into a shootout, while the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs will likely be a defensive battle. Graham has double-digit fantasy points in two of his last three games. He is not relied upon as heavily as Kelce in the Seahawks' passing game, but he should be able to hit value, and he has the potential for a touchdown. At his price tag, he is a steal this week.

 

DraftKings Defenses - Divisional Round Picks

New England Patriots Defense (vs HOU, $4,000)

The New England Patriots have been solid defensively this season, and the Houston Texans are one of the worst offenses in the league. Brock Osweiler is set to start this week, even after getting benched earlier this season. The Patriots should have little issue shutting down the Texans offense. Roster the Pats D in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.
