The NFL Playoffs are here! The postseason always offers some intriguing DFS slates with so few games to pick from, and this week is no exception. Since FanDuel splits most of their contests into Saturday/Sunday lineups, I’m focusing on the even smaller Sunday slate. I’ll be taking a look at projected ownership rates from our projected ownership tool to offer you some fantasy analysis throughout the playoffs. Let’s get started!

Quarterback
We’ve only got four starting options on the limited slate. Drew Brees should be the most popular play this week, and while Minnesota has done well against opposing quarterbacks this season, there’s no sure-thing matchup in the two games we have to choose from. Brees has thrown for 250-plus yards in all but two games he’s played to completion this year, and he shredded the 49ers’ formidable defense for 349 yards and five touchdowns. He’s probably your best bet on Sunday. That said, Russell Wilson is a close second. Philadelphia is banged-up in the secondary, as Sidney Jones, Avonte Maddox, and Jalen Mills are all nursing injuries. While all three should play on Sunday, they likely won’t be at 100%, and that could leave Wilson some opportunities despite his similarly banged-up offensive line. Kirk Cousins and Carson Wentz round out the list, and while both are talented players, you’re better off spending the extra money on either Brees or Wilson. Cousins still needs to prove that he can handle the spotlight, and Wentz just doesn’t have enough of a supporting cast.
