Welcome to the Conference Championship Week of the NFL Playoffs! Each week, I'll bring you our famous NFL DFS Cheat Sheet, featuring expert research and picks for cash games and GPPs. Here are a few notes about the sheet.
- Green means GO (good for the player) while red reflects a poor rating/matchup. The more green, the better...
- CASH CORE pieces are highlighted with a BRIGHT GREEN highlighter on the chart for extra emphasis.
- The "fantasy points allowed rank" reflects how a player's opponent ranked in fantasy points allowed to their specific position. The lower the number, the better the matchup.
- Passing and rushing game matchups are again based on DVOA ratings, as I have regained access to that metric and find it to be extremely helpful.
- A play labeled "cash" is a higher-owned play recommended for cash games. A "strong" play is playable in all formats. "Slate-breakers" are some of my favorite GPP targets for upside or reduced ownership.
- Vegas and risk columns will be updated during the week to reflect injury information, weather updates, and the most recent Vegas odds.

Cash Game Cores
DraftKings: Kenneth Walker III, JSN, Puka Nacua
FanDuel: Kenneth Walker III, Rhamondre Stevenson, Puka Nacua
RB and WR Anchors
RBs: KW3 vs. L.A. Rams, Rhamondre Stevenson vs. Denver
Kenneth Walker III is uber chalk with the injury to Zach Charbonnet, forcing him into the lead back role. We have to eat that chalk in cash and single entry, there simply just aren't many pivots, and no other back on this slate has the floor/ceiling combo that KW3 does with the majority of touches.
Rhambo should lead the NE backs in touches this week and has two very valuable roles - he is the pass-catching back and he's also the short-yardage back. Denver's defense is good, but we saw the Bills run on them last week, and Rhambo has had a very solid playoff run so far.
WRs: JSN vs. L.A. Rams, Puka Nacua vs. Seattle
There's no getting away from Puka and JSN this weekend. Both players had massive seasons and rate out as two of the best receivers against nearly every type of coverage. They both are the clear-cut top options on their teams and should dominate the targets. It's tougher to fit them both on FanDuel than it is on DK, where you can do it quite easily.
