First off if you haven’t been following along already go check out the wild card fantasy lineup. Wild Card Fantasy Lineup The Players who advance rounds get double the points so if you didn’t have Julio Jones, or Matt Bryant on your team last week you won’t get double points this week as i mention in the article. Play here, NFL Playoff Challenge , lets go!
QB: Tom Brady. Brady is not only playing the worst defense of this weekend, he is also the most likely to advance and score you double points in the divisional round. The Titans secondary is no match for the Patriots passing game and Jurell Casey will force the Patriots to move away from the run. I expect Brady to throw at least 2 touchdowns.
RB: Derrick Henry. If there is one area the patriots’ defense can be exposed it is in the ground game. Henry torched Kansas Cities D last week and though I don’t expect the Titans to win this week Derrick Henry will put up points this week so grab him.
RB: Latavius Murray. Yes you could go Alvin Kamara, however if the Panthers were able to hold him to under 50 yards you have to think a much better Vikings defense will be able to do the same. If this Saints defense has a weak spot it might be at linebacker so expect Murray to have a good day.
WR: Brandin Cooks. The one thing almost all of these playoff teams have in common is a killer secondary. All that is except the Tennessee Titans. So, take Brady’s number one target and plug him in this week keep him and get double points next week.
WR: Julio Jones. If you followed my formula last week you have Jones getting you double points this week, that is always a win.
TE: Rob Gronkowski. I feel as if this doesn’t deserve an explanation. One, it’s Gronk. Two, how did the Chiefs kill the Titans early last week? By using Kelce to bully their linebackers. Three, if there is one game I am confident about my pick it is this game so Gronk will get you double points next week.
K: Matt Bryant. He gets double points for me this week, if you followed my advice he gets the same for you.
Defense: Atlanta. Not even from a fantasy prospective, from just a regular football perspective they are playing as a top 5 defense right now against an Eagles offense that seems destined to disappoint.
