FantasyPros Football Podcast: DFS Lineup Advice: Divisional Round Playoffs

Welcome to the latest episode of the FantasyPros Football Podcast. Our DFS show is hosted by Dan Harris (@danharris80) and Mike Tagliere (@MikeTagliereNFL).

Derek Brown of FTN has joined us as we dive into this weekend’s playoff matchups to find both the top cash game (5:30) and GPP DFS plays (49:19). Does Stefon Diggs’ (11:14) price make him a more compelling play on DraftKings than Tyreek Hill (10:12), or is Hill’s higher floor too attractive to pass on? Does the cash game QB conversation end with Lamar Jackson (18:35) and Patrick Mahomes (20:41) or does Buffalo’s near complete reliance on their passing game make Josh Allen (24:00) very difficult to fade? Michael Thomas (41:46) appears to be undervalued in his matchup against Tampa Bay’s beatable secondary. Travis Kelce (27:35) is the main tight end worth playing, but who else should you go with if you choose to spend down at the position in cash games (46:49)? Gabriel Davis (52:29) has an exploitable CB matchup and can be a solid contrarian GPP play if the Bills pass early and often.
