Conference Championship FLEX Outlooks For Fantasy Football

Austin Ekeler, Washington Commanders - Fantasy Football Outlook

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler should be viewed as a high-end flex option in DFS formats this weekend when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, in their upset victory over the Detroit Lions, Ekeler ran the ball for 47 yards on six attempts. He caught all four of his targets for an additional 41 yards.

Ekeler also saw four targets in the wild-card round. Even though Brian Robinson Jr. will continue to see the majority of carries on the ground, Ekeler should continue to have a role, especially on passing downs. The last time he faced the Eagles (Week 11), he caught eight of nine targets for 89 yards.

If the Commanders fall behind in this contest, Ekeler should have a path to seeing a high volume of targets, which makes him a strong value play as an RB2/flex option in DFS competitions.

- Andy Smith, RotoBaller

DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles - Fantasy Football Outlook

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith heads into Sunday's NFC Championship game against the Washington Commanders as one of the team's most reliable weapons. Smith now leads the Eagles this season in receptions (76) and receiving touchdowns (8), proving to be a crucial target for Jalen Hurts in the passing game.

While the Eagles have leaned heavily on Saquon Barkley's dominant ground game in the postseason, Smith remains a key option when the offense looks to the air. His ability to make big catches in critical moments will be pivotal if Philadelphia diversifies their attack to keep Washington's defense off balance. With his consistent production all season, Smith is poised to make a big impact in this high-stakes matchup.
