Divisional Round FanDuel Picks Daily fantasy football lineup

Posted by seestyle on July 25th, 2022

We quickly learned a le son when putting together our Saturday FanDuel tournament lineup: If you pay up for Lamar Jackson, you'll be forced to take some major risks Alan Trammell Jersey at other positions. With just two playoff games on Saturday's NFL DFS slate (Vikings-49ers, Titans-Ravens), there aren't many options, so calculated risks is the name of the game.

Our biggest risks come from the 49ers. San Francisco is a heavy favorite, so getting players from its offense makes sense, even if they are backups who fall squarely into the "boom-or-bust" category. Along with Jackson, we're playing it "safe" with one of our RBs and our TE. We're also paying up for the WR1 and WR3 on FanDuel's price list, so we have a good shot at production from that position, too. Utimately, though, we'll need a vintagefour- or five-TD performance from Jackson to really make some money.

Saturday NFL Playoff FanDuel Picks: Divisional Round DFS tournamentlineup

QB Lamar Jackson, Ravens vs. Titans (,500).We didn't put Jackson in any of our full weekend lineups or our , so we had to get him somewhere. It's not easy to build a great lineup around him because of his high price tag, but if you have Jackson, you might not need as much help from other players. The price difference between Jackson and the next-highest QB on FanDuel is just ,600 compared to , Dixon Machado Jersey 700 on DraftKings, so Jackson is a slightly better value on FD.

RB Matt Breida, 49ers vs. Vikings (,700).Breida has done little since returning from an ankle injury in Week 14, carrying the ball just 14 times for 81 yards in four games. Raheem Mostert is clearly San Francisco's lead back, but Breida has the type of home run ability that can pay off in small-slate tournaments, which is shown by his 5.1 yards per carry this year. This is obviously a low-floor play, but if Breida can rip off a big run or two, he can pay off his modest price tag.

RB Dalvin Cook, Vikings @ 49ers (,600).Cook has been a staple of our divisional round DFS lineups. He's arguably the most talented back left in the playoffs (apologies to Derrick Henry), and he's more Tyson Ross Jersey game-script proof than the Titans bruiser, as Cook is a better pa s-catcher. The 49ers are expected to get two key defensive players back from injury (Dee Ford, Kwon Alexander), so perhaps that's a reason for worry, but we'll take our chances with the Vikings' top offensive player.

MORE SATURDAY DFS:

WR Kendrick Bourne, 49ers vs. Vikings (,900).In Weeks 9-14, Bourne caught five touchdowns. Denny Mclain Jersey Given the limited number of optionsin Saturday's player pool, you'll need to take a shot on at least one boom-or-bust player (and more than one if you pay up for Jackson), and Bourne at least has a recent track record of scoring touchdowns. It doesn't hurt that Minnesota allowed the second-most receptions to WRs this year, so Bourne should be able to make the most of his three-to-five targets.

WR Adam Thielen, Vikings @ 49ers (,000).Thielen looked fully healthy last week, catching seven-of-nine targets for 129 yards. He's also had one carry in each of the past three games. We put Stefon Diggs in our , but Thielen is actually cheaper on FanDuel, so we're opting for Minnesota's de facto No. 1 receiver. He should have a good amount of catches if Minnesota is forced to play catch-up in the fourth quarter.

WR A.J. Brown, Titans @ Ravens (,500).Brown got phased out of Tenne see's game plan last week, catching his lone target for four yards. Keep in mind, though, that Brown posted 605 yards and six total touchdowns over the final six games of the regular season. He's a key part of Tenne see's pa sing game, and it's likely the Titans will be forced to air it out this week. The matchup is tough, but Brown is a big play waiting to happen.

SUNDAY DFS Jordan Zimmermann Jersey LINEUPS: |

TE Mark Andrews, Ravens vs. Titans (,000). George Kittle is just 0 more, but his matchup is much tougher. We're happy to take Andrews, who faces a Titans defense that allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to TEs during the regular season.

FLEX Marquise Brown, Ravens vs. Titans (,300).Brown struggled down the stretch, catching just 11 pa ses for 65 yards and a score over the final five games of the regular season. However, he remains Baltimore's top wide receiver, and if we're going to push all-in on Jackson, we have to trust more than one of his receivers. After Andrews, Brown makes the most sense, so we'll hope he catches a long touchdown.

D/ST Baltimore Ravens vs. Titans (,800).Ryan Tannehill proved more than capable of leading Tenne see's offense, but if he's forced to play from behind in the second half, he could be more prone to a mistake. With no obvious Lance Parrish Jersey D/ST plays on the slate, we'll opt for a home unit with big-play upside.
