NFL WILD CARD WEEKEND
Wild Card Weekend kicks off today and DRS has you covered for all your DFS NFL Needs.
I hope you’ve had success this year and we’re looking to finish they year our strong with a great Wild Card Weekend Slate.
Our friends over at FantasyLabs have put together and AMAZING Breakdown of the Games for the Wild Card
DFS Slate. I will highlight some of their content below, but, please be sure to check out the entire article here.
Green Bay (-1) at Washington
Implied Total: 23.25 – 22.25, O/U: 45.5
If you’re choosing between Eddie Lacy and James Starks this week, keep in mind that Lacy has been on the field for 59.62% of snaps compared to 34.79% for Starks and has out-touched him 39 to 24. Starks does offer a nice value on DraftKings, with a Bargain Rating of 86% though. The coaching staff did appear to lose confidence in Starks due to his fumbling issues, but worked him back in last week.
Pittsburgh (-3) at Cincinnati
Implied Total: 24.25 – 21.25, O/U: 45.5
On the other side of the ball, we’ll see A.J. McCarron likely forced to air the ball out plenty due to the stifling Steelers rush defense. McCarron is willing to take chances and did throw for 280 yards and two touchdowns against Pittsburgh in relief of Andy Dalton a month ago. The Steelers have allowed 18.87 DraftKings points to the quarterback position this year and McCarron’s cheap pricing on all sites makes him an interesting play.
Kansas City (-3.5) at Houston
Implied Total: 21.75 – 18.25, O/U: 40
Alfred Blue is a volume play, having racked up 56 carries over the previous three weeks. It will be tough sledding against this defense, but the workload should be there. Ryan Griffin is nothing more than a punt play at tight end and it’s worth paying up a bit for Heath Miller or Richard Rodgers if you’re opting to go that route.
Seattle (-5) at Minnesota
Implied Total: 22.25 – 17.25, O/U: 39.5
In the lowest over/under game on this slate, Seattle will come into Minnesota as a heavy favorite. In a game that they should be able to control, there are multiple options worth considering. Watch the weather closely leading up to this matchup, as it’s expected to be extremely cold, though the wind is not expected to be a factor.
The lineups are posted on the site right now, and we’ll monitor all the injury news throughout the day leading up to the 1st kickoff today at
4:30pm eastern. Please check back on the site around 3:30pm eastern for the final set of lineups for this weekend.
