This is where I will provide updates if we have any big injury news or if I have additional thoughts on the slate.

Conference Championships

I know we will have plenty of content for the Super Bowl, but I believe this will be the last positional breakdown article of the season. It’s been a fun ride and I appreciate you joining along the way. I ended up having a good week of DFS in the divisional round, but it wasn’t because I had some perfect lineup construction. I played Travis Kelce and it would have been really tough for my main lineup to not cash after he broke the slate with 14 receptions, 98 yards, and two touchdowns. I’d love to boast about the play, but it was extremely obvious. The best tight end in football was facing the worst pass defense left in the playoffs.

It’s a little sad that we only have two games to break down this week, but these are amazing matchups on paper. Kevin Roth has given us the green light for both of these games when it comes to the weather, so we don’t have to worry about there being another snow game. The first thing you’ll notice this week is how tough it is to build a lineup that you like on paper. This isn’t a slate where you can jam in all of the studs. You have to make sacrifices throughout your builds. The two tight end approach is firmly in play once again and might even be the optimal route on DraftKings.

For the last time this season, let’s dive into each position.
