FanDuel Quarterback - Conference Championship Round DFS Pick

Aaron Rodgers (at ATL, $9,600) 

It’s tough to shy away from Rodgers on this limited slate. He has been on fire recently, averaging 31.2 fantasy points per game over his last four contests and he gets an elite matchup against the Falcons, who have struggled against opposing quarterbacks this season. This game should be fast paced and high scoring, which means Rodgers will likely find the end zone early and often. Rodgers will need to have a huge game for Green Bay to win and he is an elite option tonight.

FanDuel Running Backs - Conference Championship Round DFS Pick

Devonta Freeman (vs GB, $8,000)

Freeman is always an interesting option because he is extremely productive, but splits time with Tevin Coleman in the Atlanta backfield. He has scored 20.5, 26.2, and 32.5 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he’s a player that can contribute in multiple ways for the Atlanta offense. He gets a tough matchup against Green Bay, but Freeman has a nose for the end zone, and Atlanta should be able to score plenty this week. Freeman isn’t going to come cheap, but he can be used in all leagues.

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Conference Championship Round DFS Pick

Julio Jones (vs GB, $8,800) 

Jones has been dealing with an injury recently, but he has still been able to produce over the last two weeks. He gets an elite matchup against Green Bay, who has been the worst team in the NFL against wide receivers this season. They opted to cover Dez Bryant one-on-one last week, and it wouldn’t be surprising if they employ a similar strategy, while trying to slow down Freeman and Coleman. Jones should have no problems dominating in this game, so he’s nearly a must-start this week.

FanDuel Tight End - Conference Championship Round Pick

Jared Cook (at ATL, $6,400)

Cook has seen his role increase for Green Bay over the last few weeks, averaging 8.2 targets per game over his last five games. He could continue to see extra targets with Jordy Nelson out this week as well. Cook is coming off a great 19.3 fantasy point performance and he will continue to be a solid red zone target for Green Bay. The tight end position is limited this week and Cook is a great option in all leagues.

FanDuel Defense - Conference Championship Round Pick

New England Patriots D/ST (vs PIT, $4,400)

The Patriots defense has been elite all season and they have one of the best fantasy defenses in the NFL over the last few weeks. They have scored at least 16 fantasy points in three of their last four games and there are limited options this week. The Patriots are -6 point favorites in a game set at 50.5 points, which is the lower of the two games this week. None of the defenses are in great spots here, but the New England defense is the best option.
