Expect the Unexpected
I’m ready for the Divisional Round games after last weekend’s frustrating slates.
My only Cash Lineup that hit during Wild Card Weekend was the my Sunday-Monday slate lineup, which I didn’t write about last week, and the Saturday only and Sunday only lineups just missed again.
Saturday’s lineup finished with 141.08 points but missed the green in all of my tournaments by less than 5 points, while the Sunday lineup had 143.56 points but fell a little farther back.
My Sunday-Monday lineup had 171.24 points thanks to fire emojis from Daniel Jones, Isaiah Hodgins, T.J. Hockenson and Dalton Schultz.
This weekend I’m only playing the 4-game Saturday-Sunday slate because the variance on a two-game slate can be tough.

Let’s get this weekend’s top players!
Quarterback
My Top Play
Daniel Jones, NY Giants ($5,800): I’m calling it – I think the Giants and the Cowboys pull the upsets this weekend! For the Giants to pull off the feat, it starts with Jones. Jones became the first QB in playoff history to pass for 300 yards and multiple TDs and rush for more than 70 yards in a playoff game. Jones passed for 160 yards and a TD and rushed for a TD in the teams’ first meeting of the season in Week 14. Since that game, Jones has averaged 243 yards passing and 59.5 yards rushing in four games. He has accounted for 7 TDs and only one turnover during that span. I expect the new and improved Jones to be on display.
Other QBs
Josh Allen, Buffalo ($7,800)
Dak Prescott, Dallas ($6,100)
Running back
My Top Play
Jerrick McKinnon, Kansas City ($6,000): McKinnon enters the game with a six-game TD streak thanks to his receiving ability. He has averaged 22.7 points a game starting with his big breakout against Denver in Week 14.
Other RBs
Christian McCaffrey, San Francisco ($8,000)
Joe Mixon, Cincinnati
Wide receiver
My Top Play
Deebo Samuel, San Francisco ($5,900): I believe DraftKings made a mistake with Deebo’s salary. The 49ers have scored more than 30 points in their last four games Deebo has played and I think San Fran will be playing from behind most of this game.
Other WRs
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas ($7,300)
DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia ($7,200)
Gabe Davis, Buffalo ($4,800)
Richie James Jr., NY Giants ($3,900)
Tight end
Dawson Knox, Buffalo ($3,800): The Cincinnati defense has been stout vs. RBs (10th vs. RB fantasy scoring) and WRs (8th vs. WR fantasy scoring), but they have struggled vs. TEs (23rd). Knox has become a big target in the red zone as he has scored a TD in five straight games and TDs are what you need from a TE on a 4-game slate.
Other TEs
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia ($4,500)
Evan Engram, Jacksonville ($4,300)
Dalton Schultz, Dallas ($4,200)
