NFL Divisional Round Playoffs: Players to sign and players to avoid on Sunday
Quarterbacks:
Sign: Drew Brees, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Fanduel Salary: $7,300
Why Fanduel lineup owners should sign Drew Brees: Drew Brees has torched the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense in their two meetings during the regular season. Brees has thrown a total of six touchdowns in the two games against Tampa Bay. He has scored 37.08 fantasy points in the two meetings.
Avoid: Tom Brady, vs New Orleans Saints
Fanduel Salary: $7,700
Why Fanduel lineup owners should avoid Tom Brady: New Orleans Saints have made life tough for Tom Brady in their two meetings this season. Brady would throw five total interceptions against the New Orleans Saints defense. In the two meetings Brady would only throw two touchdowns. Tom Brady has only scored 27.82 points against the Saints this NFL season.
Running Backs:
Sign: Alvin Kamara, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Fanduel Salary: $9,000
Why Fanduel lineup owners should sign Alvin Kamara: Alvin Kamara has scored 109.1 fantasy points in the last four games. Almost half of those points came in his 54.7 fantasy point week against the Minnesota Vikings. Kamara led the Saints in rushing and receiving yards during the 2020 NFL Season. He has been the motor to the Saints offense.
Avoid: Kareem Hunt, vs Kansas City Chiefs
Fanduel Salary: $6,200
Why Fanduel lineup owners should avoid Kareem Hunt: Kareem Hunt has seen a hit to his production since Nick Chubb returned. Outside of last weeks playoff win Hunt has been up and down. With the numbers Chubb has been putting up we could potentially see Kareem Hunt get placed on the back burner against the Chiefs.
Wide Receivers:
Sign: Tyreek Hill, vs Cleveland Browns
Fanduel Salary: $8,800
Why Fanduel lineup owners should sign Tyreek Hill: Tyreek Hill has scored 110.7 fantasy points in the last five games. In those five games he has recorded five touchdowns as well. Cleveland will have matchup issues with Hill and that could turn into a big game. With one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL throwing him the football Tyreek Hill is a must sign.
Avoid: Emmanuel Sanders, vs Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Fanduel Salary: $5,700
Why Fanduel lineup owners should avoid Emmanuel Sanders: Emmanuel Sanders is coming off a performance that only brought him 1.3 fantasy points against the Bears. He was only targeted three times in that game. With Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara back we could potentially see the same output against the Buccaneers.
