Yahoo! Quarterbacks - Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs DFS Picks

Aaron Rodgers (at DAL, $40)

Aaron Rodgers has been the best fantasy option for DFS at Yahoo this season and that doesn't change as him and the Packers head to Dallas to face the Cowboys this weekend. With Jordy Nelson out Rodgers will again have to spread the ball around to multiple receivers and throw for several TD for the Packers to win the game. While the Cowboys are a tough opponent and I fully expect a close game, I do not believe Dallas will be able to stop Rodgers and the Packers.

Russell Wilson (at ATL, $33)

The Falcons have the worst defense (in terms of fantasy points allowed) of all of the teams left in the playoffs as they allowed the fifth most passing yards per game at 266.7 yards per game, and the sixth most points per game at 25.4 points per game during the regular season. Because of those numbers, I like targeting the QB that will be passing against them. If you'd like to pair Wilson with a few of his fellow skill position players (Rawls, Graham and any of their WR) it would likely make for a wise stack.

 

Yahoo! Running Backs - Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs DFS Picks

Ezekiel Elliott (vs GB, $35)

Ezekiel Elliott has been fantastic this season as he totaled 1,631 rushing yards, 363 receiving yards, 15 rushing TD and one receiving TD with just one fumble lost, all in his rookie campaign no less. This lead to an impressive 20.6 FPPG. In what may have been his best game as a rookie during the regular season, Elliott absolutely destroyed what was at the time the best rushing defense in the entire league. The performance I speak of occurred on October 16th when the Cowboys went into Green Bay and demolished the Packers at their house on the hallowed grounds of Lambeau Field. Ezekiel managed to rack up 157 rushing yards and 17 receiving yards that week despite the Packers defense being so good against the run up until then (and for the most part since then as well). As a Packer fan that watched every minute of that game, I couldn't have been more impressed. While the Packers will no doubt focus on Elliott and the Cowboys running attack it won't matter much if he and his amazing offensive line have an average or better game.

Thomas Rawls (at ATL, $22)

After missing some time and being limited (as far as playing time and opportunity went) with an injury, Rawls exploded on the Lions last weekend 161 rushing yards and a TD. This week, Thomas and the Seahawks will face a better rush defense in Atlanta, but I expect another good game. This is because the carries will be there for Rawls to notch a solid amount of yardage and I would be surprised if he didn't score a TD. Aside from the top options, there aren't many that I like other than Rawls; so that plays into it as well. He'll likely be a fairly contrarian option in a week where there are so many obvious plays and I love that in GPP's.

 

Yahoo! Wide Receivers - Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs DFS Picks

Davante Adams (at DAL, $22)

Adams will likely lead the Packers in targets and receptions this week as the Packers will almost certainly be without their best receiving option Jordy Nelson. Despite being the best option for the best QB in the game Adams is just $22. Take advantage of his low cost and get him on all of your rosters. Even if he drops half of his targets he should still net at least five catches and a good amount of yardage.

Paul Richardson (at ATL, $12) 

Richardson has received 16 targets that resulted in 11 receptions good for 130 yards and two TD over the past three weeks. This week, I expect another handful of receptions for a good chunk of yardage with a possible TD. At just $12 you can't afford not to get Paul into your lineups as he's an easy value play with some substantial upside against a weak Atlanta pass defense.

 

Yahoo! Tight End - Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs DFS Picks

Travis Kelce (vs PIT, $22)

Kelce is far and away the best option at TE this weekend and you simply can't afford to fade him as the Chiefs host the Steelers. It doesn't matter if he's played at TE or FLEX, as long as he's played. Not only has he been reliable and fantastic all season, but he will face a Pittsburgh that can be suceptible to the TE position. Join me and get Kelce into all of your lineups this weekend.

 

Yahoo! Defense - Week 2 of the NFL Playoffs DFS Picks

New England Patriots D/ST (vs HOU, $20)

The Patriots are huge favorites at home against a weak offense. While they are expensive it doesn't get much better than this. Sometimes there are easy layups in DFS and this appears to be a slam dunk. All you have to do is make sure you take it and make it. Do it. Do it.
