DraftKings Quarterbacks - Wild Card Round DFS Picks

Ben Roethlisberger (vs MIA, $7,600)

Ben Roethlisberger is a great cash game quarterback this week against the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are not great defensively, and Roethlisberger will look to take an early lead in the first quarter. Antonio Brown is going to find ways to get open, and Big Ben rarely misses throws. Against the Baltimore Ravens, in his latest outing, he posted over 20 fantasy points, throwing for three touchdowns and two interceptions. The Miami Dolphins should be able to keep this game close enough to keep Big Ben throwing throughout the game. Pairing the Steelers quarterback with Le'Veon Bell is not a horrible idea either, as Bell sees quite a few receptions per game.

Matt Moore (at PIT, $5,100)

Matt Moore has actually been playing well for the Miami Dolphins since Ryan Tannehill went down with an injury. He has over 15 fantasy points in three straight games now, and he should be throwing the ball quite often against the Pittsburgh Steelers this week. He is similarly priced with Brock Osweiler and Connor Cook, but he is much more talented and in a better situation. With both Jarvis Landry and Kenny Stills available to roster, this could turn into a fantastic tournament stack. Do not avoid Matt Moore in favor of the higher priced quarterbacks this week in tournaments.

 

DraftKings Running Backs - Wild Card Round DFS Picks

Le'Veon Bell (vs MIA, $10,300)

The Pittsburgh Steelers are going to rely heavily on Le'Veon Bell this week, especially after they take the lead early. Bell ran for around 450 yards in his last three games of the season (not including week 17 against the Cleveland Browns - he was sidelined). He should be fresh after taking a well-earned break, while the Miami Dolphins are not going to be able to shut him down. This season, the only excuse fantasy owners had for not rostering Bell came in the form of David Johnson. David Johnson is not in the playoffs, and even if he was, he would not be playing after that terrible week 17 injury. Roster Bell in both 50/50 contests and tournaments. He is very close to a must-start this week.

Ty Montgomery (vs NYG, $5,500)

Ty Montgomery really cooled down over his last two games, but he could pose huge matchup issues for the New York Giants this week. In the playoffs, Mike McCarthy is going to attempt to get the rushing attack working, and he will also likely draw up some sneaky running back pass option plays, as well. This will keep the New York Giants' great defense guessing. Montgomery has great upside, considering he plays both running back and wide receiver at the same time. His price tag is very reasonable, and on a very short slate, he is usable in both 50/50 contests and tournaments.

 

DraftKings Wide Receivers - Wild Card Round DFS Picks

Odell Beckham (at GB, $9,100)

Odell Beckham is one of the best wide receivers in the league, obviously. Antonio Brown could definitely be used instead of Beckham, but the Pittsburgh Steelers have a rushing attack, and the Green Bay Packers pass defense is horrendous. Beckham should have a fantastic week. Two games ago, he posted just under 30 fantasy point, catching 11 balls on 20 targets for 150 yards and no touchdowns. His upside is around 40 fantasy points, which is ridiculous. The Packers are not going to be able to stop him. The only chance they have to win is Aaron Rodgers throwing for more touchdowns than Eli Manning.

Kenny Stills (at PIT, $3,800)

This is the secret to winning tournaments this week - roster Kenny Stills and Matt Moore. Kenny Stills has a touchdown in four straight games now, and Matt Moore has targeted him quite often while starting for the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins are going to be throwing for a majority of this game, as the Pittsburgh Steelers should score early. If this game turns into a shootout, the Steelers are likely going to walk away victorious, but not before Matt Moore throws for a couple of touchdowns. One of those touchdowns will likely end up in the hands of Stills. This is a great tournament stack.

 

DraftKings Tight Ends - Wild Card Round Picks

Jimmy Graham (vs DET, $5,300)

The Seattle Seahawks are not one of the better offenses to choose from this week, but Jimmy Graham is an elite-level tight end that has underperformed somewhat this season. The Detroit Lions are horrible defensively, and Graham has a couple games with over five targets. Against the Arizona Cardinals, he caught a touchdown, and in his last game, which was against the San Francisco 49ers, he caught four of seven targets for over 60 yards. He has some upside, and the tight end position is rather bleak this week.

 

DraftKings Defenses - Wild Card Round Picks

Oakland Raiders Defense (at HOU, $3,000)

This recommendation should not need much analysis. Tom Savage is currently undergoing the concussion protocol, which makes Brock Osweiler the starting quarterback in Houston, yet again. Osweiler had a terrible season, and he is going to struggle in the playoffs against one of the league's better defenses. The Oakland Raiders are easily the best choice here.
