Get ready for the NFL divisional round with top Yahoo DFS picks and strategies for Saturday’s games
When it comes to guaranteed prize pool contests, it’s all about finding those hidden gems. You want to mix in some popular picks with a few risky choices to really stand out. For example, you might want to consider big-name players who are in tough matchups or those who could either boom or bust. It’s a balancing act, but that’s what makes it fun!
Don’t forget, Yahoo uses 0.5 PPR scoring, which changes the value of certain players. Your lineup for the Saturday Baller will need one QB, two RBs, three WRs, one TE, one FLEX, and one D/ST. Look for a QB with a strong playoff history, a running back returning from injury, and maybe a backup who could step up in a big way.
Patrick Mahomes is a solid pick against Houston. He’s had a bit of a rough year but has been on fire lately, throwing for 580 yards and four touchdowns in his last two games. Plus, he’s got a great playoff record. On the other hand, David Montgomery from Detroit is a good choice too, especially against a weak Washington run defense. He’s been scoring touchdowns like crazy this season.
For wide receivers, keep an eye on Terry McLaurin. He’s been Washington’s go-to guy and could have a big game against Detroit’s defense. And don’t overlook Nico Collins from Houston; he’s been a key player for them lately.
Lastly, Travis Kelce is always a threat at tight end, especially in the playoffs. He’s had some great performances in the past, and with Mahomes throwing to him, he could be a game-changer.
So, gear up for an exciting Saturday of NFL action and make those DFS picks count!
