Conference Championship Round! We have a good two game slate on our hands for the playoffs! Super Bowl-bound time!


New England Patriots at Denver Broncos

  • The Patriots are 4.5-point favorites

  • The over/under is coming in at 41.5 points.


Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks

  • The Seahawks are 2.5-point favorites

  • The over/under is coming in at 47.5 points.



 Quarterback Breakdown

Matthew Stafford features the quarterback spot. I would much rather discuss Drake Maye's consistency recently. The DraftKings price tag makes him viable, and he looked good despite the interception last game. Sam Darnold is going to be a fade for me on this DraftKings slate. Lastly, Jarrett Stidham wraps up the quarterback breakdown. He is looking to start, and he is in for a tough matchup.


Running Back Breakdown

The running back spot has Kyren Williams as the main option up top on the DraftKings slate. He is coming off a great game with two touchdowns. The Seahawks' run matchup does scare me a little bit. To continue on the Rams, Blake Corum is out of play for me. On the Seahawks, Kenneth Walker had a monster game with over a hundred yards and three touchdowns. He is going to be an excellent player with his usage rate now. The DraftKings price tag went up and is priced increasingly more than Zach Charbonnet. The big news is that Zach Charbonnet is out. I am on Velvus Jones, and he saw run last game due to the blowout. He should be the 2nd option behind Kenneth Walker. On the Patriots, Rhamondre Stevenson was in and out of the last game due to his eye injury, but looking to be fully healthy in this game. I do like his pass-catching abilities for DraftKings. I am not high on TreVeyon Henderson and would rather play Rhamondre Stevenson. On the Broncos, RJ Harvey has been interesting due to his production recently. The Patriots' run defense is stout, and this matchup is scary. Jaeleel McLaughlin is slightly overpriced for this game.


Wide Receiver Breakdown

On the Wide Receivers, we will go team by team, just like the running backs. On the Patriots, Stefon Diggs has been inconsistent, but I am looking to get to him in my DraftKings lineups due to Drake Maye being my favorite quarterback. Kayshon Boutte had the big game last game and played the most snaps as well. Ownership will be on him, and the pivot would be Stefon Diggs. DeMario Douglas has the big touchdown ability just like Kyle Williams. The Broncos are the most interesting team to figure out. How will the receivers react to Jarrett Stidham at the quarterback spot? Courtland Sutton is priced in the mid-range and is a tough click. Troy Franklin, we need the injury news still. Pat Bryant is good to go and cheap enough to pop off if he can earn the targets. Marvin Mims is high-priced now on the slate, but he does have the big-play ability. On the Rams, Puka Nacua was a disappointment in the last game, and it will be interesting to see his ownership. Davante Adams saw decent targets, but production lacked in the last game. Jordan Whittington saw the increase in snaps last game and could potentially be a value option on the slate over Konata Mumpfield. On the Seahawks, Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the guy I am on over Puka Nacua. The slate will be dependent on these two players. Rashid Shaheed is only a special teams option in terms of his scoring abilities since being traded to the Seahawks mid-season. Cooper Kupp will be the high ownership option once again and is priced like that as a value.


Tight End Breakdown

The tight end spot is interesting because we don't have a clear-cut top option like a Trey McBride or Brock Bowers. Anyways, Hunter Henry is the highest-priced option on the slate. His production was lackluster last week, but the weeks before that were consistent. We just saw the Broncos shredded by Dalton Kincaid, and that does make Hunter Henry intriguing. AJ Barner has been off recently, but this is a nice bounce-back opportunity in this game. Evan Engram could be a security blanket for Jarrett Stidham, but he is just hard to trust this season. Last but not least, we have a wild card of the Rams' tight ends. Colby Parkinson would be the main option to look at based on the snap counts from the last game, while he led the team. Tyler Higbee didn't see a ton of snaps, and that is interesting to see how his snaps go into this game. Terrance Ferugson is touchdown or bust.
