The NFL Playoffs continue this weekend with the Divisional round. There are four games, two on Saturday and two on Sunday. First up will be the Chiefs taking on the Patriots in Foxboro. The primetime Saturday night game will be the Packers vs. Cardinals in Phoenix. Sunday afternoon will be the Seahawks against Panthers in Carolina followed by the Steelers playing the Broncos in Denver.
Last week’s lineup left points on the table, especially from the value plays. Both Albert Wilson and DeSean Jackson were inches away from scores which would have helped our account balances. Gio getting knocked out of the game didn’t help us either. Between last weekend’s football games and the last 2 week’s worth of NBA games, could we be dealing with any more injuries within our lineups? (If you follow our NBA posts, we just had Tyreke Evans get injured in the first quarter last night, Otto Porter, Carmelo a couple of nights ago, Anthony Davis, etc. All of them in our lineups when they got hurt!). Now, if someone in our PGA lineup gets hurt this weekend, it might be time to hang it up.
At least our Sunday only lineup cashed comfortably in the 50/50’s. Maybe look for another Sunday only post this weekend too. Let me know in the comments if you’d be interested in a lineup.
DraftKings NFL Playoffs Week 19 Lineup – 1/16/16 and 1/17/16
| Position | Name | Team | Salary | Projections |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Peyton Manning | Pit @ Den | 6000 | Peyton as a cheap contrarian play? Times have changed, and I really like him rested against a bad secondary. |
| RB | David Johnson | GB @ Ari | 6000 | Johnson put up 21 FPP against GB in Week 16, most of it receiving. He should get plenty on the ground if Zona is eating clock with the lead in the 2nd half. |
| RB | Fitzgerald Toussaint | Pit @ Den | 4200 | As of the publish date, DeAngelo Williams is still listed as Questionable so keep your eye on this. 15 FPP last week including 4 catches for 60 yards. Should hit value if he gets the start. |
| WR | Emmanuel Sanders | Pit @ Den | 5800 | Going for the cheaper stack with Manning over Thomas, but we should be fine against the 28th ranked pass defense. |
| WR | Julian Edelman | KC @ NE | 7100 | Another one listed as Questionable, but word is he should play. The Pats O line is a wreck even getting Vollmer back, so I like Edelman to go PPR crazy if Brady is throwing it quickly. |
| WR | John Brown | GB @ Ari | 5200 | The Pack's secondary is beatable. I'm counting on Brown getting loose for a long one. |
| TE | Greg Olsen | Sea @ Car | 6900 | Gronk will get all the attention here. Olsen went for 7 and 131 yards last time he played Seattle. |
| FLEX | Travis Kelce | KC @ NE | 5100 | Without Maclin, Kelce's value rises. 80 receptions on the year, so he'll see plenty of targets. |
| DST | New England | KC @ NE | 3500 | Maclin didn't practice Thurs. and Belichick has had 2 weeks to prepare. KC runs much better than they pass and NE is #8 against the run. |
| Total | 49800 |
Be sure to check the injury reports before kickoff. Good luck in your DraftKings 50/50’s and tournaments in the Divisional Playoffs!
