The NFL playoffs begin this week with the Wild Card Round. There are six games this week, starting with two on Saturday, followed by three on Sunday and one on Monday. DraftKings and FanDuel have sliced and diced the slates. They have Saturday-through-Monday, Saturday-only, Sunday-only and Monday showdown slates. Below are the players in my player pool for the classic contests. The suggestions will be updated if needed after the final injury reports are released on Friday, and the Monday night showdown selections will also be added.
